My degree plan for TESU BA in CS; thoughts/recs?

[bruh]

First, good news is that you get 8cr for Chemistry (it's 8cr for any score if you took it prior to 10/31/21, and 8cr for a score of 4-5 starting 11/1/21).

Second, you'll need to determine which way you want to go for tuition purposes, because whether you're military or not makes a HUGE difference in cost.

1) Not military, and just want to do 6cr at TESU - so you need 30cr of RA total, you have 13cr, you'll take 6 with the corner/cap stones, leaving 11cr.  It looks like you're a good test-taker, in which case you should get your remaining 11 (12) RA credits via TECEP exam; it's cheap, and it will be really easy for you.  Take the following (plus whatever else you want):

Applied Liberal Arts Math (you'll use it as your Quant Lit requirement)
Computer Concepts & Applications (AoS LL elective)
Public Speaking (as your oral comm requirement)

then you can move Statistics down to the AoS as a LL other elective

TOTAL PRICE AT TESU (tuition, fees, 4 LL TECEP's): $7,470

2) Not military, and you want to do a 16cr term to save costs, you can skip the TECEP's.  Do some e-Packs in there instead (at the very least you'll want Computer Concepts & Applications, I wish they had math options)

TOTAL PRICE AT TESU (tuition, fees): $4,778

3) If you at some point join the National Guard and get military tuition, then your best bet is to take 6 TECEP exams (that plus cornerstone and capstone puts you at 24cr of residency, which you'd need), and then you can just pay for the cornerstone and capstone at $250/cr.

TOTAL PRICE AT TESU (tuition, fees): $2,698

Whaaat I didn't know that about AP Chem!! Thanks for the heads-up!

Your second point is very crazy too - I didn't realize that going the military route would make that big of a difference. I didn't actually consider how much of a difference it would be between paying for the military residency waiver versus paying for the military route you're suggesting. So awesome!
