Hi everyone!, I'm having such a hard time picking between WGU and TESU for their respective computer science degrees. To me, each of them have their own pros and cons.

TESU Pros - 
• I already have college credits that I can transfer in 
• The degree doesn't require as much math as WGU
• TESU is a public university.
• Degree could be completed quicker

TESU Cons - 
• The diploma itself only says "Bachelors of arts" leaving out any mention of computer science (this kind of just rubs me the wrong way).
• No certifications included in the program.
• I'm concerned with how employers would perceive a "Bachelor in Arts" CS degree.

WGU pros - 
• Certifications included (really nice since FASFA would be covering the terms for me)
• ABET accredited 
• The diploma states "Computer Science".

WGU Cons - 
• Degree requires Discrete Math II (I'm worried about this class to be honest) 
• I'm also worried about the credibility of the school in the years to come (I don't believe that WGU is a degree mill at all, I'm just worried about other peoples perceptions).


I would really love to hear all of your guys' thoughts and opinions!

Out of curiosity, has anyone here actually done or considered this program?

The PUG Analytics plan guide on the Wiki is very helpful and I'm very grateful! 

There are some classes that are not listed as having alternative options: IN300, IN301, IN400, IN401, IN402, MM325, and of course IN498 which is the Capstone. 

However, there are also a number of specializations, and the wiki doesn't seem to notice them. Are these optional? Whether so or if not, I'd be curious for alternatives for them! 

If someone has any info, or could guide me on how to find out for myself, I'd be extremely appreciative.

Best, 
Nick

Disregard my original question. I just realized the Workplace Writing course is numbered ENG 1020.

I just completed the course and can say the reviewers were very fair compared to the horror stories I read about with English Composition II.

It is definitely the most involved Sophia course I took and I have taken 28 of their courses so far.

WGU allows StC "Math 108" to transfer as D420, but my WGU degree would still require D421.  Is D421 dependent on D420?  Would it be a bad idea to take D421 at WGU without first taking D420 at WGU?

These are the first new Study.com ACE credit courses in a while:

Computer Science 104: Intro to Web Development at Study.com
Computer Science 104: Intro to Web Development (ACE National Guide)

I've seen complaints about the assignments in Sophia's Introduction to Web Development. Now they have direct competition. At a quick glance the assignments for this Study course seem reasonable.

Business 112: Intro to Project Management at Study.com
Business 112: Intro to Project Management (ACE National Guide)

Business 112: Intro to Project Management has a lower-level credit recommendation and is assessed entirely by chapter tests (quizzes) and the final exam. Study also continues to offer the separate course Business 311: Project Management, which also has two required assignments and has an upper-level credit recommendation.

ACE recommended for 3 upper-level credits starting June 1 this year, and live online now.

18 challenges, 4 milestones, no final milestone. 3 touchstones: a 750-100 word essay, an 8-12 slide show with speaker notes, and an 8-10 page strategic improvement plan for a suburban primary care clinic described in a case study.

Hi all!

I realised an assumption I made may not be correct.  The assumption was it would be obvious on what would count as a elective for the BACS, however it dawned on me that this may not be the case.  

So is it anything that starts with ITS, COS, CIS, CYB, CLD counts for CS Electives in the BACS, with the 100 and 200 being LL and 300+ being UL?

Thanks!

Looking for the fastest business courses offered by UMPI, ranked by the number of milestones required—1 milestone being the shortest, with more milestones indicating longer courses.
