Using Guild for CS at SNHU

[Yoloangie40]

@Yoloangie40, Welcome to the board, that's a very informative post and you've decided on the SNHU Computer Science degree as you have tuition assistance or reimbursement because of their Guild partnership.  Just to let you know, most of our members or moderators haven't taken SNHU programs, we know about them and have helped students navigate through them by carefully planning courses for max transfer.  

We are familiar with how SNHU works and have helped students preplan their degree courses through alternative credits before. As there have been some significant changes to SNHU and to help you better... Also to get a bigger overall picture of your particular scenario, you need to fill in the template/last post addendum here, I will follow up with several steps for you to follow: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Forum-D...ing-Advice

Thank you.

Hello. I am new here and love this forum. I will be using my guild 5k tuition reimbursement to get my Computer Science degree at SNHU. I was told to follow the Gen Ed guideline here and work on this while going to school. My question is does anyone have a list of courses from SNHU to take in an order that will work to with the max 3 classes every term? Or does SNHU make that for you? I am starting in 8/28 with no transfer credits. I am understanding that I can take Sophia courses while enrolled. But, wondering how that would go while taking classes.

As I understand it, you can only take a maximum of 2 courses per term for the first 2 terms. That would amount to $4,000 worth of courses for this year, using up most of the Guild money.

I wouldn't recommend taking SNHU courses that involve programming without first completing your Intro to Programming and DB courses.

Normally, we advise utilizing as many transfer credits as possible before enrolling in school. However, since you're not losing money, you could enroll in SNHU and then consider slowing down or pausing your studies later, allowing you to complete your transfer credits if necessary.

I would get 1-3 courses done at Sophia to prove you can handle learning online before you start your SNHU term.

Thank you. I was gonna check if I could get a scholarship to match and try to do four terms as I want to transfer as much of the 90 credits as possible. That leaves 10 classes. And would pay for the rest. Fingers crossed there.

Also be aware of some potential shenanigans at SNHU for Comp Sci right now: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...quirements

You should be able to complete gen eds at Sophia. You may get told that you cannot.

You may want to focus on Sophia courses that could work for both SNHU and TESU - just in case. I think you can use Guild for both, depending on employer?

I did not want to pay out of pocket at all and SNHU was the college that accepted the most transfer credits between Oregon  state and university of maryland global.
