Quickest Path to a Computer Science or Math Degree

(10-05-2023, 12:03 PM)bjcheung77 Wrote: @juiceboxguy42, you've completed a snipped portion of the addendum and template, it's missing some other critical info, such as your commitments, study habits, etc.  With your updated budget/time frame, I'll link you to this recommendation I had for someone else.  You can do a double major in BACS/Math if you wanted, or something different, like a BACS/BSBA CIS double degree instead.  Here's a little read, with links: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid405061

Apologies I'm still new to the forums and didn't do an appropriate search to find the full template to use. Added additional info below along with more info from the original post. The CS/Math dual degree is a cool thought! So long as it didn't add significantly more time or credits to earn I'm very interested. Thanks so much for all the help so far.



It's been the plan to head back to school for a long time and I'm finally doing it. I was previously an engineering major and completed the first 2 years of a degree in a brick and mortar state school. Due to time and location constraints I'm interested in an online Computer Science or Mathematics degree. I work a full time job in mental health right now and am the sole provider right now so need to be able to get this finished asap. 

I've recently began taking Sophia courses with the current plan being to transfer in as much as I can to WGU but upon receiving the transfer credit evaluation WGU is only accepting 11 of my 70+ credits earned at University. This led to me looking into other options and finding schools like TESU. I'm wondering if there are any other schools that might be a good option for me and would appreciate your input! 

Your Location: Northwest Ohio, USA
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: BA/BS Computer Science or Mathematics 

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 

CLEP--Intro to Sociology


Sophia-

Introduction to Information Technology (3 credits)
Introduction to Nutrition (3)
Introduction to Statistics (3)
Introduction to Web Development (3)
Workplace Communication (3)
U.S. Government (3)
Calculus 1 (4--WGU wouldn't transfer in my calc credits since it's been over 5 years)



University of Toledo Credits:

CHEM 1090--Elementary Chemistry (3)
ENGL 1110--College Comp 1-Writing Studio (3)
MATH 1340--College Algebra and Trig (3)
MIME 1000--Orientation to ME and IE (3)

CHEM 1230--General Chemistry 1 w/ lab (5) *C-
MATH 1850--Calculus 1 (3)

MIME 2600--Engineering Economics (3)
FILLM 1310--Intro to Film (3)

MUS 1250--Group Piano (2)
MUS 2200--Music Theory (3)
PHYS 2140--Physics 2 (5)
PHIL 2200--Intro to Philosophy (3)
PSY 1010--Principles of Psychology (3)
FINA 3060--Personal Finance (3)


Budget: Originally wanted it to cost less then 5000 but so long as it ends up costing less then 10000 I can make it work.
Commitments: Mostly just my girlfriend and our dog & cat. I have a full time jobs where I regularly work 50-60 hour weeks but have downtime throughout the day where I would be able to work on schoolwork.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 3 hours a day I can dedicate to schoolwork, but this is a conservative estimate and it will likely be much more some days. So approximately 20 hours a week or more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 1 year.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: My workplace offers a 2/3rds discount on a local university but earning a degree there would take years and they don't have any online options.
