European seeking Computer Science or Math

[bjcheung77]

@fcfcfc, You've got a few options, there are so many ways to get to your goal. My suggestion is to get a mix/match of the trifecta of certs, degree, experience.  Here are options out of many that will fit your budget, energy, time, it really depends on which way you want to go. I favor TESU BACS/Math double major and the BSBA CIS option, it would probably be what you're looking for...

1) Do the UMPI BABA with a concentration of your choice, Management & Leadership or Project Management & Info Systems, you can follow the steps on the WIKI to do the Coursera certs and other cheapies/freebies, using these credits towards the UMPI BABA, if you have the extra time, you can ladder that up to UMPI MAOL by taking 3-4 classes that exempt you for 3 classes towards the MAOL.

2) For extra 5 classes or so, do the TESU BACS/BSBA CIS combo, similarly, do the same steps as UMPI as they take some Coursera Certs and cheapies/freebies, you're also going to do pretty much the same Sophia.org credits that go towards both TESU/UMPI anyways.  You can decide on what you want to do after the Bachelors, there are others such as the $3K HAU MBA or $4300 MAOL.

3) With the changes done to the Finnish system, you may still be able to get the Metropolia 579 Euro 3/4th of a BSIT degree for amazingly cheap, the downside is it's not going to be fast, you may also get the final year for either free or for a few extra dollars, you're going to decide if you want to take this slower route or not, it may take you the full 3 years vs less than 1 for TESU/UMPI...

You're about 20+ years younger than me, you have a bit of experience at that age, you just need to add to it some certs plus the TESU BACS degree. I would even recommend a secondary BSBA CIS option if you want to leverage a business degree out of that as well, so you'll be well versed in Business plus CS/IT.  Another option is to ladder up to GT OMSCS or any similar programs that are either Applied Computer Science or IT that have been mentioned in the Grad section.

Follow the WIKI plans from both LevelUP and Rachel83AZ, get the Coursera, TEEX, cheapies/freebies, and work on Sophia.org for the lower level, Study.com for the upper level, finally finishing with the TESU 15 residency credits. You'll get the Computer/Developer related certs, an Applied Science MIS/IT related degree as the end goal.  The WIKI link is within my signature, you should review the TESU one here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:TESU
