TESU AAS Applied Computer Studies

[siege101]

I'm finally fed up enough with my current job (for once I really actually feel that way) that I'm actually going to get a degree but I would like to start off rather easy and truly see if this is for me, hence my choice of the AAS in Applied Computer Studies. If I actually like it, I may press further and go for a bachelor's or even a master's degree but first an associate's. I also wouldn't mind getting the Undergraduate Certificate in Cyber Security at the same time.

My choice of this particular degree is also motivated by the lack of a need to take a science course with a lab, which I would like to avoid, at least for an associate's.

I'm not in a huge rush to finish this but would ideally like everything wrapped up by June of 2023.

As for budget, cheaper is better but not really an issue at all.

I would like also like a decent mix of RA and graded credits in the mix just in case for future degree options. Testing out is preferred to writing papers too.


As for what credits I currently have -

• A lot of FEMA credits but unless something has changed, they're useless.
  
• 3 CLEP exams, all above the recommend scores for credit, American Government & History of the United States I & II
  
• TEEX Cyber Security for Everyone, TEEX Cyber Security for Business Professionals & TEEX Cyber Security for IT Professionals however they're all 6 years old at this point.
  
• Kaplan Univeristy Documenting Your Experiences for College Credit: Learning Recognition Course
  
• American Institute For Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters/The Institutes - Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct
  
• National Emergency Training Center (NFA) - Fire Service Supervision, Hydraulic Calculations for Water-Based Fire Protection Systems & Self-Study Course for Community Safety Educators
  

That's all I can think of for now. I'm looking forward to reading what everyone has to say. Thanks.
