General Studies Information Systems Concentration help needed

[vanglorious]

A COSC admissions advisor just confirmed that "most programming courses" satisfy the logic requirement.    Here's a related excerpt from the email conversation:

 "I was also informed that most programming courses will satisfy the logic requirement as would a general logic course typically found in mathematics or philosophy departments (such as our MAT 115).  That’s the most I can do if you have questions about non-Charter Oak courses."

On a side note, this is the second time I applied to COSC.  The first time I applied they were very willing to tell me--subsequent to receiving my academic evaluation--what courses would or would not apply to complete my degree.  I provided a small list of courses two or three different times, and every time they provided guidance.  

However, this time I got a different admissions advisor and she won't give me any information on transferability until I enroll.  The most she would give me is what I provided in my second sentence and it took a lot of persuading to even get that.  

Here's a bit more of her response that might be of interest to perspective COSC students...

"Also, our agreements with non-standard course providers like Sophia, Study.com and Straighterline are currently under review therefore we can’t provide any information to students who are not currently enrolled.  It’s very likely there could be changes.

Wow. If you knew the stress I went through with the Evaluation team you'd steer clear. I had a brand new (recent) C programming course from a regionally accredited Community College with a 4.0 that I could've used in that case. I ended up taking a Philosophical Logic course the summer before I enrolled BECAUSE they didn't give me credit for Logic. THEN they fought tooth and nail to NOT credit me for THAT course, too. I had courses they acknowledged were UL but then REFUSED to give me credit for them (same person/team) because my University didn't number them UL even though there were prerequisites! I tell you they must be really hard-pressed because a few times after denying my courses my "advisor" would say, "But, we have courses at COSC that will satisfy that requirement". :/

They are not interested in helping u with outside courses. They need to make max money on u
So i would not expect any help unless u will enroll

I get that.  It's just interesting to me that they were willing to help with that the first time I applied but not the second.  I suspect it depends on the admissions person assigned to you.

It might be the admissions person and/or a new policy. When did you first apply? I began dealing with them May 2020-June 2020.

Here are some ideas.

Programming Logic  (strange not listed on COSC study.com equivalency page)
Computer Science 109: Introduction to Programming

Introduction to Information Systems
Business 303: Management Information Systems

Have you graduated from COSC with a Concentration in IS? If not, I can see why you would list the last courses.

OP, focus on Programming courses like C, Java, C++ so they don't have any wiggle room. They won't accept MIS or IS as a programming course. If you get someone unknowledgeable of CS, they might try to refuse DS&A in Java or C++, etc. even though the topic is central to programming advanced software.
