TESU BACS from 0

[compsci2k]

You need 100 credit hours earned before they let you register for the capstone.  People here normally do their general credits first, then the AOS so by then they have a good idea what they want to major in. 

I wouldn't suggest taking 2 capstones + cornerstone and then 2 additional courses at the same time.  Those courses have deadlines with lots of writing.  Even doing school full-time with no job this would be quite a challenge to do.

Also, check and see if you qualify for the Pell Grant since that can change the cost.  I uploaded the Pell Grant sheet from 2019 and some Calendars for the Capstone/cornerstone courses to see what you are getting into.

That's kind of what I was thinking digging a little more into it. ASNSM or BSBA wasn't even on the radar until @bjcheung77 mentioned that was an option so I started looking in that direction to see how that would work. I went over the cornerstone syllabus previously, but haven't looked at cornerstones. That does look like quite a bit of work.

Would going for ASNSM in Math first make more sense? Get gen ed and math out of the way, get an associate's, then proceed with courses for BACS. I would need only 3 extra courses for ASNSM in Math, the rest transfer towards bachelor's. I added another sheet for ASNSM; would appreciate any feedback on it as well.

From the financial standpoint if I go for associates first that will be $5,097 (cornerstone + waiver + application + graduation). Then BACS will be $1,905 (capstone + application + graduation). Waiver applies towards the first bachelor's according to this

Students who successfully graduate from their first associate degree at TESU and pay the waiver will have been deemed to meet the University’s Credit Hour Residency requirement for both the completed associate degree and their first bachelor’s degree should they pursue one at TESU.

I'll look into Pell Grant, thank you!
