Looking for a plan for BSc in CS

[quadralift]

I'm from Nova scotia, I think I only have one or two courses, I would be basically starting from scratch. I have a decent amount of time, it's not urgent and I still need to upgrade my math. I will look into Sophia and UMPI.

I am fine with a BA if it is in comp sci. I have also been considering athabasca or centennial but I don't think those are cs degrees.

Where in Canada are you from? Do you have any college credits or any certificates?  In the US, a BA and a BS is the same thing, the course content and requirements are mainly the same as well.  Whenever I look at a program, I usually look at courses offered and see if that program is what I am looking for.  Are you looking for specific computer science courses, such as mainly programming, software development, or something in particular?

I am looking for a mix of software engineering and programming. Basically I have been doing coding for around 8 years but want some more credentials and the ability to work on more difficult work.

How soon do you need the degree? I mean, are you young and could you afford to take a "gap year" after taking some credits? I ask because UMPI is going to start offering a BS in CS later this year or early next year. If you were to take (almost) everything at Sophia, you could be ready to transfer to UMPI when the degree is offered. But there is no guarantee that it would be immediately available. UMPI is near the Canadian border so they are used to working with Canadian students and have a special process for them. But you might wind up needing to wait for about 6 months before you could complete your degree there.

This Sophia site seems amazing, how do I find out what courses to take to transfer to umpi?
