Thomas Edison Computer Science Degree

Wow, this was helpful, thank you. I wasn't ignoring earlier advice, I misunderstood what someone said, and assumed that I can't move the electives that are currently on my transcript off by replacing them. So I thought I needed to get the remaining RA credits in areas I hadn't yet transferred credits in for. Thank you for the clarification.

As I now understand it, the best course of action for me to take is a combination of TECEPS and Finnish courses (probably XAMK) for 15 credits. (Or just all of them through XAMK, and forget the TECEPS.) Then I can take information literacy with edx (applying for financial aid.) After this, I can take study.com until I have 15 credits left, and then do a flat rate term. If this is incorrect, please correct me.

And you're right, I also misunderstood about AOS electives. I'm still slightly unclear, if I don't take a course that equates with one of the ones that Thomas Edison offers online, how will I know if it will be accepted? And which courses do you recommend to be taken for the 15 credit term?

I'm sorry if I'm being slow here. I really do appreciate all the help.

For AoS Electives, and using XAMK credits, your best bet is to just ask here.  Lots of people have taken courses and transferred them in, so they'll be able to tell you what will work.

For the 15cr term, most people doing the BACS opt for the Capstone (obviously) and an UL course in the AoS - and then 3 "easy" (easy for you) courses including 1 or 2 e-Packs if possible.  CIS-1070: Computer Concepts & Applications is a given - that's going to be your best option for an e-Pack.  Day 1 of the term, take the quizzes if you want to prep, and then take the final exam as soon as you can.  You're done with 1 course right away.  I think many also do the Cornerstone instead of the edX option just because they're paying for a term, you may as well get a grade for that course, and you can also finish early IIRC.  There are 3 UL courses that are "popular" in the major: Software Engineering, Computer Architecture, and Artificial Intelligence.  SE can be done as a LL option through SDC, and then UL through Saylor; CA can be done as UL through SDC.  So AI is the only one you can't find cheaply elsewhere.
