BACS Planning. Does this look right?

[zolpgree]

Hi OP.  It's a good first plan, I would recommend similar revisions as mentioned.  Before I do that though, you really need to follow the template just right above your thread.  If you provide us more details and the info in the last post addendum, we can see if a BACS at TESU is for your journey or an alternative may be better, such as WGU's BSCS or something else...

One more thing, each person has so many different variables in their scenario, you may want to go for a competency based degree option like WGU if you have the energy, time to complete your assignments or assessments.  But for those who have a set of commitments, it may be better using TESU...

I have modified the original post as per your request. From what I've gathered, WGU does not accept international students, so TESU seems like the best option so far.

There's no reason to take CS 305 at SDC. Take CS 105 instead. Skip the assignment. They're both COS-240 at TESU.

Instead of TEL for your RA credit, I would go with ONU. $50 cheaper per course and you don't have to take two exams for every course. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ol...University Also, the RA credit doesn't need to be in the gen eds. Since you're planning on taking Human Biology & Chemistry at Sophia anyway, you don't NEED another science. Feel free to take anything you want instead and it'll be an elective.

Ethics at Sophia has at least one Touchstone now.

You don't need BOTH Algebra and Statistics. You can take them both if you really want, but you only need one.

But, since you're already considering taking so many business courses, perhaps you'd like the dual BSBA CIS/BA CS combo? Check out https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan You could get two degrees for only slightly more than a single degree.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'm incorporating them into the revised spreadsheet. I have yet to find the courses and pricing options for ONU.

To be frank, I have added alot of electives that I don't care very much for, but simply because they were available through Sophia. Most people seem to like Sophia courses and they seem easy and organized. If SDC CS courses were reasonably similar from a opportunity cost per credit standpoint, then I'd only do CS courses. Also, Sophia is cheaper then 70$ per SDC course but that is a secondary consideration.

I might just do all the required Gen ED courses and then decide what to do with the electives. I thought about a potential Math/CS Double Major, however, it'd be much harder and would take much longer to finish the degree. For now, having prior experience with programming in general, I think I'd be able to complete a BACS faster than anything else.

No interest in business per say, I just picked random courses from sophia that had zero or few touchstones to complete the electives cheaply and fast. I feel that a SDC CS course could take alot longer than these if my sole goal is to gather as much credits as fast as possible in order to fill a BACS portfolio.

I wonder what would be faster as far as choosing electives. Should I do as much CS as possible for the free electives (having a strong prior informal programming background) or doing the cheaper, faster and easier random Sophia Courses that are listed in the spreadsheet in the original post. Thoughts?
