IFirst , I’d like to thank the posters on degree forum . I was able to get a pierpont AAS BOG degree in August . I have 69 credits currently and I’m still working on Sophia and study.com . With that said , what is my fastest and most affordable option to complete a BA or BS in general studies or liberal arts (since I suppose both of those would be faster than having a major . I’m looking for something as affordable and timely as possible. I know about the big 3. Charter Oak and Excelsior seem expensive. I’m enrolled now at UoPeople in BSBA with many credits but have a background in practical nursing and after a few business classes and it’s not very interesting for me . I know with general studies or liberal arts I can minor in something health related. (Health management, etc). Has anyone taken a similar route ?

Would anyone be interested in a BA/BAS in Computer Studies? TESU already has an AAS in Applied Computer Studies.

BA/BAS in Computer Studies Degree Structure:

45 Credits in the GER.
45 Credits in any combination of Computer Science and CIS courses but one of each required. 15 UL credits and 39 of 45 credits have to be level 2xx or higher.
30 Credits in Electives.

Thoughts?

I am starting Spring 2 for BAS-MIS at the recommendation of this forum from BLS and I thought I would’ve maxed out my transfers but I clearly didn’t. There are a few classes which I thought I covered with Sophia (Biology and Comms) but it looks like I’ll need English 121 and a few other GECs. Any recommendations for the easiest classes to fulfill my requirements?

Additionally, is it worth it to transfer in any additional classes vs taking them at UMPI like Spanish?

How hard was General Chemistry at TESU? It is my last class for my BS and it is wrecking me. Just started and these Alex questions and assignments are taking me hours , are the exams just as hard? 60 percen of the grade is 3 exams. Will it get easier or is it all math? I did all the labs separately and they werent nearly as hard. What worked for you?

I am helping someone plan their degree but I have some questions about the BA in Liberal Studies Concentrations. I searched the forums but I could not find an answer for this.

For the 18 credits in the BALS Computer Science Concentration:

Quote:A. Concentration (18 Credits)

COS-3300 - Computer Architecture
COS-2410 - Data Structures
COS-2050 - Python Programming

3

Select 9 credits from the following:

COS-4510 - Artificial Intelligence
CIS-3110 - Database Management
CIS-3200 - System Analysis and Design I
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering

Quote:Students complete 18 credits of Natural Science/Mathematics courses. For TESU course options go to Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Apple updates MacBook Air with M4 faster chips, cuts price

Buy MacBook Air (Note $100 wink, wink, education discount)

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

One thing I noticed is that the 15" MacBook Air is similar in price to the 13" version $1,199.

Those 13"/14" laptops have too small of a screen for me to use and Apple won't let you buy a 16" MacBook Pro without spending at least $2,499.00.

Best Value Windows Laptop that is similar to MacBook Air???

• 16GB RAM
  
• 1TB PCIE G4 SSD
  
• Intel Core Ultra 7-155H processor
  
• 15.6 inch 3K OLED 120Hz 100% RGB color gamut, and 500 nits peak brightness
  
• Up to 16 hours of battery life
  
• 3.31 lbs

Has anyone taken this here, and if so, what feedback do they have? I'm also interested in others that are for credit or CERT based.

Since it is now regionally accredited. Do you think this might be a great way to get some RA credits, especially for computer science? I’m thinking of enrolling, taking a semester and seeing if it transfers in. I just need to fill some RA credits for TESU.

I found Peirce College through Sophia Learning and they’re a partner school. They seem to be very transfer friendly allowing between 90-102 credit hours of transfer towards certain degrees. Their website, at least to me was transparent about this. I know it’s more expensive compared to other unis, but I think they’re comparable to UMPI or TESU in terms of accepting alternative credits.

Hi all, 

I’ve been lurking for awhile and finally joined this forum. Like the title says, has anyone recently enrolled at COSC? I know it’s no longer a top college for degree hacking, but I’m just curious if anyone has recently enrolled and is currently taking classes. I wonder what their transfer of credits is like for 2025.
