			<description><![CDATA[I'm considering pursuing a dual degree at TESU: a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems. I have a bachelor's degree from a traditional university, but I want to explore these fields because my goal is to attend Georgia Tech for its master's program in cybersecurity, policy track. <br />
<br />
To do this, I've completed many Sophia, Study.com, and Coursera certificates to earn the required credits over the past year and a half. <br />
<br />
From my understanding, if you double major, you can't overlap more than three courses. To earn a dual degree, I would need 12 upper-level credits. Three will be from Study.com (Computer Science 302: Systems Analysis &amp; Design, Business 303: Management Information Systems, and Computer Science 303: Database Management). This leaves me with one more upper-level class to complete. While I could just take software engineering at TESU, I started to look for other options. <br />
<br />
I reviewed my old transcripts and realized I took a Data Mining and Data Warehousing class as an elective for my Hellenic American University MBA. I am wondering if this would satisfy an upper-level credit. The course is a part of their Master of Science in Informatics. Does anyone know if you can use a master's-level credit for upper-level undergraduate credit at TESU?]]></description>

1. Will TESU accept courses transferred in after one enrolls, or do they have a "last ## of credits have to be taken here" rule?<br />
2. I read another thread that says TESU will "dump" your information if you do not enroll within a year. I am currently a ILA student so what does this mean to me?<br />
3. My intended major has a required course that TESU says will need to be transferred in. Foreign Language BA, one of the major classes is a literature course taught in that language, which is going to be tricky to find. If I do find a source, can this be taken after I am enrolled at TESU? (Similar to #1 above)<br />
4. Can I take CLEPs after enrollment or do they have to be done before?  Some schools say they only accept CLEP if done BEFORE enrollment.]]></description>

			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://legacy.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-IBM-SkillsBuild-Cybersecurity-Certificate</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Has anyone transferred the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity Certificate</span> to <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">TESU or UMPI</span>?<br />
<br />
Just to clarify, I am talking about the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity Certificate</span>, not the IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate offered through Coursera.<br />
<br />
I completed the SkillsBuild certificate through <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">UoPeople</span>. The current ACE recommendation is:<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">ACE ID: IBM-0028</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">12 semester hours total:</span><ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>3 SH LL – Fundamentals of Cybersecurity<br />
</li>
<li>3 SH UL – Technology Management<br />
</li>
<li>3 SH UL – Cybersecurity Analysis<br />
</li>
<li>3 SH UL – Threats and Incident Response<br />
<br />
</li></ul>
So the recommendation is <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">3 LL + 9 UL credits</span>.<br />
My main interest is the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">9 upper-level credits</span>, so receiving only an introductory cybersecurity course would make a pretty significant difference for my planning.<br />
<br />
I found one previous DegreeForum data point where TESU evaluated the certificate as <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">CYB-1200 Introduction to Cybersecurity for 3 SH</span>. From what I can tell, TESU appears to have evaluated the certificate itself that way rather than simply placing it there because of the student's particular degree.<br />
Has anyone submitted <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">IBM-0028</span> to TESU since then and received a different evaluation?<br />
I would especially be interested in hearing from anyone who received <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">any upper-level CYB, CIS, CS, IT, or related computer credit</span>, even if TESU did not match the exact ACE-recommended titles. For my purposes, upper-level technical/computer electives could still be useful.<br />
<br />
If anyone has transferred it, it would be helpful to post:<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity Certificate -&gt; school equivalencies -&gt; LL/UL -&gt; where the credits applied in the degree</span><br />
Again, this is specifically <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity Certificate, ACE ID IBM-0028</span>, not the Coursera IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate.]]></description>

Interested in options on having post-bacc credits recognized (preferably by al mat) other than the ILA/Onetranscript/Registry.<br />

Would TESU take transfer credits as a visiting student if I took a TECEP? Would all those credits be on one transcript with my old completed ones from years ago, or would they be two separate ones?<br />
<br />
If I chose ILA, or any of the other credit registries, would those credits be "granted" or simply "logged"?<br />

I'm looking at TESU for the sake of having one consolidated source, but the cheapest option is what I will take if it meets my needs.<br />

Doing this for the prerequisites of a professional credential that wants those credits "granted" by an RA institution.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
<br />
Interested in the BACS here at TESU, here is relevant information about me<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Status</span>: US Citizen, Full time student, Ideally graduate from here as cheaply as possible.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Background</span>: Graduated with a BS in an unrelated field from a Four Year Regionally Accredited University in the United States. Currently pursuing an MS online aiming to graduate in late 2027 in the US as well<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Goal</span>: To use my BS degree to bypass the GE courses and electives which should total me to only having to take the 45 credit AOS (Area of Study) classes (I could be wrong). To complete this CS degree with only taking the capstone and maybe another course<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Progress:</span> Ive been on this forum and just understanding what i will be getting into. Now, looking through study.com and Sophia learning to find the TESU CS equivalents and mapping where to take what. I’m just planning until I pull the trigger on signing up for study.com to knock out ALOT of CS classes which i estimate will take me 3-4 months. But some of the elective stuff was hard to find/understand. Here is a breakdown I made, please let me know if this is right. I also realize I wont have to take the SOS-1100 class since I already have a BS degree (<a href="https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/en/current/undergraduate-catalog/university-policies-and-procedures/undergraduate-academic-policies/degree-policies/sos-1100-critical-information-literacy-institutional-requirement-policy" target="_blank" class="mycode_url">https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/en/curre...ent-policy</a>) outlined here which is kinda nice ?<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Bottlenecks</span>: <br />
1: I am currently pursing a MS degree which has one big challenge. Lets say I do all these study.com courses to fulfill the degree and then apply to tesu to take the capstone, and then graduate after the course. I would essentially need to make sure I graduate at TESU first and then in my MS program after. I can easily take less classes in my MS to focus more on this CS and graduate later but bottom line I cannot be graduating in TESUS CS program AFTER I complete my MS or else all that hard work from study.com would essentially be voided. They outline it on their website <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Second Bachelor’s Degree</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">If you have earned a previous baccalaureate degree, and wish to pursue a second, you must complete a minimum of 24 additional credits, including the required capstone, for the degree. These credits must be in the area of study and/or core of the degree. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">They must also be earned after the date your most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.</span></span><br />
 <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Worries</span>:<br />
1: I’m pursing a MS right now and while it wont be much more work on my plate id hate to be breaking some kind of rule here being dual enrolled. I could just not say anything but who knows. I don’t want to pause this masters and would like to get both done within the year 2027. The MS program is aimed for working adults so i figured i would just do the CS program "full time" and treat the MS as its intended purpose of being a weekend thing lol<br />
<br />
2: the Capstone in general, from the research aspect, time consumption, and ETS major field test. I know I can just grind out the research aspect in the 12 week period but I been seeing on here the ETS exam is pass or fail and you must pass so kinda worried once I get all this study.com stuff done, apply, to only then get booted out for failing a ets exam would be soul crushing. <br />
<br />
Again, I have yet to submit anything or even start admission now so any advice tips or tricks would be helpful and ill answer as best I can and I apologize if some things in here may not be accurate, please correct me if needed. Ill hopefully post again after applying and seeing what admission says about the course plan.]]></description>

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Bottlenecks</span>: <br />
1: I am currently pursing a MS degree which has one big challenge. Lets say I do all these study.com courses to fulfill the degree and then apply to tesu to take the capstone, and then graduate after the course. I would essentially need to make sure I graduate at TESU first and then in my MS program after. I can easily take less classes in my MS to focus more on this CS and graduate later but bottom line I cannot be graduating in TESUS CS program AFTER I complete my MS or else all that hard work from study.com would essentially be voided. They outline it on their website <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Second Bachelor’s Degree</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">If you have earned a previous baccalaureate degree, and wish to pursue a second, you must complete a minimum of 24 additional credits, including the required capstone, for the degree. These credits must be in the area of study and/or core of the degree. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">They must also be earned after the date your most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.</span></span><br />
 <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Worries</span>:<br />
1: I’m pursing a MS right now and while it wont be much more work on my plate id hate to be breaking some kind of rule here being dual enrolled. I could just not say anything but who knows. I don’t want to pause this masters and would like to get both done within the year 2027. The MS program is aimed for working adults so i figured i would just do the CS program "full time" and treat the MS as its intended purpose of being a weekend thing lol<br />
<br />
2: the Capstone in general, from the research aspect, time consumption, and ETS major field test. I know I can just grind out the research aspect in the 12 week period but I been seeing on here the ETS exam is pass or fail and you must pass so kinda worried once I get all this study.com stuff done, apply, to only then get booted out for failing a ets exam would be soul crushing. <br />
<br />
Again, I have yet to submit anything or even start admission now so any advice tips or tricks would be helpful and ill answer as best I can and I apologize if some things in here may not be accurate, please correct me if needed. Ill hopefully post again after applying and seeing what admission says about the course plan.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
I have a midterm coming up for one of my classes and I have not taken an exam on ProctorU before. It was confirmed in the syllabus, through exam registration, and via an online chat I had with ProctorU that pdf Textbook would be allowed during the test. <br />
<br />
I also have a bunch of pages of notes I took in google docs that I will pdf up for the exam so I dont have any weird issues with the proctor. <br />
<br />
Anyone experience any issues with using these types of resources during an exam? Should I transpose my notes over to paper to make sure they dont give me a problem? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm currently in the process of finishing my BACS, I have a few credits left. I'm going to cap the 90 ACE credits limit, and I have transferred a couple of credits from a EU university. As a result, I have 6 remaining credits that needs to be RA.<br />
<br />
This is the current plan. The bottom part is a BSBA that I might or might not complete at some point. The remaining COS-2130, COS-3300 and CIS-3010 I will do on study.com, bringing the total to 90. The purples classes are the ones that are RA (TECEP, foreign credits or normal TESU classes).<br />
<a href="https://ibb.co/xKKF57gh" target="_blank" class="mycode_url">https://ibb.co/xKKF57gh</a><br />
<br />
I'm planning on doing a 15 credits term at TESU with: SOS-1100, PHI-1300, CIS-1070, + 2 other classes. Then a final term with the capstone.<br />
These 2 classes are the ones I'm looking for. Ideally, they should have no proctored exams, or no papers (would prefer no exam unless there are really a lot of papers to do). If there are exams, then there shouldn't be a lot of dates to memorize. Fitting into knowledge of other cultures for the BSBA would be appreciated but it's not necessary.<br />
<br />
Any suggestion?]]></description>
