TESU Computer Science - Roadmap Needed
#1
Hello Forum,

I created this post today because I’m needing assistance with mapping out a degree plan at TESU for Computer Science. I’ve been a lurker on this forum on-and-off for a little while now, and have attempted to do some of the preliminary legwork myself. I’ve visited the degree page at TESU for Computer Science, and the requirements are listed below. As you can see, the descriptions are somewhat vague, and I cannot find corresponding courses/equivalents . My goal is to devise a roadmap composed of coursed that I can take through Saylor, Sophia, Straighterline, and Study.com. So far, I’ve looked on both Saylor and Sophia for courses that can fulfill these requirements—my biggest concern is taking a course that will not carry it’s weight/transfer over:

Subject Category

B. Capstone

• LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone
(3)
C. Computer Science Electives*
• Artificial Intelligence
• Assembly Language
• Comparative Programming Languages
• Compiler Construction
• Computer Arithmetic Algorithms
• Computer Information Systems
• Computer Organization
• Computer Statistical Techniques
• Computer Simulation
• Data Mining and Data Analytics
• Database Systems and Design
• Mobile App Development
• Operations Research
• Problem Analysis and Solution
• Programming Languages
• Software Engineering
• Switching Theory and Automata
• UNIX
• Web Design and Development
18
D. Requirements
 
• Courses transferred to Thomas Edison State University are equated to the following levels: 100, 200, 300 or 400. A minimum of 18 credits equating to 300 or 400 are required.
 
III. Electives
21
Total Credits
120

Currently as it stands, I'm running very far short of what will be needed to obtain this degree. I'm not completely starting from scratch, as I do have the following from attending online courses at three different community colleges over time:

HSCI C101 CC Principles of Health Education A 3.00
ANTH C131 CC Archaeology B 3.00
CSCI C142 CC Info & Comm Tech Essentials A 4.00
ECON C101 CC Introduction to Economics B 3.00

RS ENG 101 First-Year Composition B 3.0
RS MAT 082 Basic Arithmetic A 3.0

RS ACC 111 Accounting Principles 1 C 3.0
RS MAT 092 Introductory Algebra C 3.0

CSIT 110 Computer Applications B 3.0
CSIT 128 Microsoft Excel For Business B 3.0

From my understanding, it is possible to transfer in almost all credits from external sources, with the Capstone needing to be completed prior to the degree being awarded. I plan to get started first using Saylor Academy or Sophia, then will ascend to SL/Study.com once I've accumulated requirements. I'm just a little lost with choosing the right courses to start with. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read over this, and have a great day.
