Hi all, Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their contributions on the site...I have read many threads and especially the "how to start" a few times Thank you for your time and effort. In light of my research, I have a few questions and I need some advice. I need to get my BSBA in Computer Science, in the next 24 months...before 2020 basically...my family and my livelihood depend on it....so no pressure I have been in the IT field for over 20years, so I have done support, development, project management, and application management (in a nutshell) ( I also have several industry certifications - N+, Server+, Linux+, Security+ from 2004-2006 Ok, this is what I have (it looks like TESU) will be my college of choice, I have a spreadsheet slightly modified based on TESU requirements for the BSBA in Computer Information Systems. A few questions: 1. Should I register @ TESU while I am doing the courses below or should I wait until I have about 20 - 30? I read that there were 2 opinions on this. 2. There are a few courses that I am not sure are still available, if anyone has any update that would be great. 3. Do the course list look complete? Below is my outline (I couldn't upload it).

Comment: Computer Science and Computer Information Systems are not the same and the courses may not be interchangeable. Question: Do you have any college courses completed at this time? Edit: A quick look shows that the Saylor course in Operating Systems is not for credit - https://www.saylor.org/credit/#available-courses
@decimon nothing that is listed here. Thanks for the url I will check the rest and maybe use a clep or dsst replacement?
Paging doesn't work in this forum. Some better respondents will probably weigh in once they've sobered up. I'm just trying to lay some groundwork. They will likely want to know what courses you have in the bank.
LOL, you’re using a very old template I created using the cheapest resources at the time - last year, it is severely outdated as 3 providers no longer offer credit for their courses listed. Your best bet is to read my Sticky thread, Beginners Guide and download the newest templates I have for TESU. There are 5 templates, you only need the BSBA GM and the BSBA CIS on my Dropbox.
