I'm working on creating a potential degree plan for a TESU BSBA in Accounting/CIS. I'm already settled on the accounting part, the CIS is just a thought at the moment. However, I'm not really interested in CIS as a subject. The only reason I'm considering it is because I saw ASU's certificate of Business Data Analytics and found it very intriguing. All of the courses in the program have a CIS code, so that's what triggered me to consider adding a CIS concentration. I currently work as an analyst in an accounting department (in NJ), so this would be much more up my alley than traditional CIS and would apply to both my current knowledge and skills, as well as ones I would like to develop. I understand ASU courses would make my degree more expensive, but I may be willing to make it work. I wouldn't necessarily go for the entire certification (6 courses), but maybe 3 of them. Would be really interested in hearing of any experiences anyone has had with ASU and how TESU handled them. If anyone has any specific feedback on ASU's CIS 308: Advanced Excel in Business, CIS 310: Business Data Visualization or CIS 405: Business Intelligence, that would be especially helpful!
