New Planned Degree Forward - Thoughts Please

[bjcheung77]

@OP, I have a few questions, do you already have an associates from any of the institutions you have attended? I see an associates capstone for January term, I assume you're going for an AAS in Applied Computer Studies or the Technical Studies in addition to your BS Technical Studies degree? You're a vet? How much do you have left on your GI Bill? When you took courses at TESU, did they charge you the $250/credit rate or the civilian rate?

You're the one who let us know about the changes at TESU for the CS courses coming from Study.com, since you haven't got the bulk of your CS courses completed using alternative methods, I would recommend you do the double degree. Get your Associates done first since you seem really close to them, but don't graduate as you can graduate the Bachelors at the same time. For your GI Bill, only take the remaining courses that can't be transferred in, up to the 16 credit requirement for residency waiver.

Get as much done with alternative credit for the remainder of your requirements, my recommendation is to do the Physics I & II with Study.com and the Labs at TESU. You can add the two capstones, this will be 8 credits added to your current residency list. You just need 16 credits total, it's fine if you have more credits if your GI Bill covers the entire costs... There's really not much planning left, it's actually completing the requirements. If the GI Bill will cover more, you can take the UL CS courses at TESU.
