Take some time to decide before taking courses, if you have signed up for Sophia.org, they're the best option for lower level credits and for upper level credits, Study.com is the recommended provider. I highly suggest getting some certs, the degree you're looking for and some experience... So, do the FREE TEEX Cyber Security, $49 Google IT Support Professional, $49 Google Automation with Python, you've got a pretty good "knowledge base" to show for on your CV/Resume.Thank you so much for the advice. I've been up all night because I plan to start August 1st. I am definitely leaning towards attending TESU and completing the BALSCOS with cyber cert, because I am state employee for discount as well so I can complete the portfolio assessment for knowledge credits. As for Sophia and Study.com, and the TEEX could I do all the courses concurrently? ( meaning would it take up any space on my computer with software and programs) And what has been the timeline you've come across?
I suggest one of two options right now: 1) TESU, if you're looking to get the BALS with Comp Sci, you can. I suggest to add the CIS Cert also by taking all the required courses at Study.com, remember - don't take any courses at TESU unless it's the 16-18 credits for residency waiver OR the cornerstone/capstone combo, it depends what you're looking for and your situation.
2) Another option is, UMPI - Get an AALS and a BLS with MIS concentration minor. This combo is not on the YourPace website, but because you have an Associates, you can see if they allow you to get this using the YourPace courses. I've asked and was informed by one of the people working at the registers office, they can treat it the same way. Again, different degree for a different situation...
