Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/go...r-AA21tqmC

In 18 months, Google went from 25% AI-generated code to 75%.

Imagine where we'll be in 6 months.

  Upper-level Credits Required for Dual-AOS Bachelor Degree
Posted by: csbachelor - 04-22-2026, 12:06 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (9)

If you're doing a TESU bachelor's degree with two areas of study, do you need only 18 credits to be upper level for the whole degree?  Or do both areas of study need 18 upper level credits?

Take a BA in Math and Biology for example.  Not really any overlapping upper level classes in these subjects, except the capstone can be double counted.

So does this degree require 18 upper level credits, or is it (18+18 - 3 for the capstone) 33 upper level credits, split between the two subjects?

  Associate's in Computer Science Plan - Audit me :)
Posted by: kevinmane - 04-22-2026, 11:59 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (1)

My goddaughter has narrowed down her choices to UoPeople's A.S. in Computer Science or A.S. in Health Science.

I know these courses are already pretty cheap, but I know she would prefer to take as many courses elsewhere as possible.

Would this plan work for the Computer Science one?

Sophia:
General Education Core

  • English Composition I
  • English Composition II
  • Introduction to Sociology
  • Introduction to Psychology
  • US Government
  • Environmental Science
  • Human Biology
? ~21 credits

Math
  • College Algebra
  • Introduction to Statistics
  • - 6 credits
12 credit elective:
Cybersecurity through IBM via UoPeople (12 ACE credits)

Straighterline 
Networking Fundamentals
Ethic
-6 credits

Then AT UoPeople:
[*]Programming 1
[*]Programming 2
[*]Discrete Mathematics
[*]Data Structures
[*]UNIV 1001 (required intro course)

  Just approved to sit for the CPA exam in my state!
Posted by: udi - 04-22-2026, 11:07 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

I just wanted everyone to know that my TESU degree and NCCRS and ACE-transferred credits, etc. were accepted and I will be able to sit for the CPA exam. A lot of my courses came from Study.com many years ago.

I wanted to post this because I was worried about TONS of stuff and have been for years. I will point out that depending on your state, your experience may not be the same. I don't know exactly how my credits were evaluated by the NASBA because they didn't provide that information.

My biggest concern was that courses that generally might be considered upper level were posted as lower level on the TESU transcript. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough upper level credits (to the NASBA), but somehow, this was not an issue. I was expecting to have to take one upper level course and spent a ton of time thinking about how I would fulfill that.

There were also rumors that transferred in credits wouldn't appear on the TESU-mailed transcript. NCCRS and ACE credits appear under 'Assessment Credits' and were included.

So, we tend to worry about stuff and a lot of the stuff we worry about never actually happens. If you have a really strict state, you might have problems. Once I become a CPA and then have to look for work, the issues with mobility and qualifications might come up at that point, but for now, I am going to sit for the exams and pass them which is the biggest hurdle.

  Looking for online, self-paced computer science core courses that offer RA credits
Posted by: mylo - 04-21-2026, 04:04 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I want to reduce costs as much as possible, and ultimately keep the cost of each course around $500.

Oakton College rejected my application, stating that they do not serve areas outside the United States, which is puzzling, even though I could access their system smoothly.

I have received an offer from TESU's BACS program, and I plan to apply for a higher-level graduate degree program later, so RA credits in key courses are very important to me.

I need to complete the following courses: 

  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Linear Algebra
  • Data Structures
  • and Computer Architecture
I've found two courses at Westcottcourses, but they're a bit over budget.
  1. https://westcottcourses.com/course/linear-algebra/UM
  2. https://westcottcourses.com/course/discr...uctures/UM
If you have a better place to go, please let me know. I would be very grateful!

  Update to PUG IT Degree Plan | No More Concentrations
Posted by: LevelUP - 04-21-2026, 09:50 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - No Replies

So PUG has changed its degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.
https://catalog.purdueglobal.edu/undergr...eeplantext


The major change is that there is no longer a concentration requirement, which makes it easier to complete the IT degree. I have also updated the courses to reflect the current requirements.

If you notice any errors or have any suggestions, let me know.

  Purdue Global ExcelTrack Policy Limits Courses per Term
Posted by: LevelUP - 04-21-2026, 09:44 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - No Replies

Email sent to students around 4 months ago.

Quote:Good afternoon,

The School of Business and Information Technology would like to share an important update regarding Purdue Global's ExcelTrack registration policy. Please see the message below from Purdue Global Provost, Dr. Carolyn Nordstrom.

Dear ExcelTrack Student,

I want to explain an update in the ExcelTrack registration policy that will be effective with the January 7, 2026 C-Track start. Our intention is to continue to support your goal to accelerate the completion of your degree, as your schedule permits. The way you will do that, however, will change slightly.

The new ExcelTrack policy will allow students to register for up to 18 modules at the beginning of the term. Once you have successfully completed those modules, you may register for up to an additional 18 modules. We encourage you only to register for what you believe you can reasonably complete. With 36 successfully completed modules, you may submit an appeal to the Dean of your School proposing additional modules.

In fact, more than half of students who register for ExcelTrack modules do not complete all of them. Advisors spend significant time registering students for individual modules and then the university spends significant time unregistering students from thousands of modules that were not touched or never finished at the end of the term.

In addition to the operational impacts of current registration practices, there are questions about academic integrity and the value of a Purdue Global degree. When students attempt to complete the equivalent of 8 or 10 courses term after term, we and others question how they can do it so quickly and how much they are learning. A diploma should represent substantive knowledge, reflecting thoughtful time on task. It is in all of our interests to protect the integrity and reputation of the degrees granted by Purdue Global. This change is to support that goal.

Student progress data for Excel Track says this change is not likely to alter the pace most of you have been keeping. We will continue to monitor student progress overall and adjust based on what we learn. Thank you for helping us maintain strong academic programs and standards that assure your degree carries the credibility it deserves, as well as the respect our university has earned.

Hail Purdue Global!

Carolyn Nordstrom, Ph.D.
Provost

5 or 6 modules = 1 course.

You will most likely need at least 9 courses to graduate.

That makes it very important to maximize transfer credit so you do not get slowed down. Could this still be finished in 2 terms? Maybe if you complete 6 courses in the first term and 3 in the second, including the capstone.

  Questions about applying for a CBE degree at East Texas A&M University
Posted by: Jin Wang - 04-21-2026, 12:44 AM - Forum: ETAMU - East Texas A&M University Discussion - Replies (6)

Hi everyone, 

  I'm currently pursuing a Computer Science degree at the University of the People, having completed 127 credit hours, including 64 RA credit hours.   

  I've also earned many ACE credit hours on Sophia and Coursera. I'd like to transfer to the BGS program at East Texas A&M University. 

  What should I do? I've already submitted my application.
