Yenisei,
I know you have probably already researched this....and for others who may stumble across this thread....I've researched this thoroughly.....the typical CS core required for Grad School CS programs includes:
Intro to CS
Programming
Data Structures
Discrete Math
Computer Architecture (Computer Organization)
Operating Systems
and some Calculus
Example here: Department of Computer Science
So given the choice of what to take at TESC on top of Data Structures and Discrete Math....Computer Architecture and Operating Systems are the next two logical choices....
Here is a link for one of the only independent study Data Structures and Computer Organization courses I've found, if someone needs this option UNI Continuing Education | Guided Independent Study Courses
Yenisei, when my youngest son got his initial evaluation, the template given by TESC showed Assembly as a requirement along with Data Structures. I sent them this TESC CS plan and they promptly changed it. https://www.goarmyed.com/docs/degrees/TESC_BA-COS.pdf
If you want to take an Assembly course, that's great, but this gives you the option.
Last point, from everything I've read about TESC graduation stats, there have only been a handful (if that) of BA-CS graduates in the last 5 years. Yenisei, you and my son might actually be the only ones...
