Sample TESU BA Computer Science BSBA Finance Double Degree Plan
TESU BA Computer Science BSBA CIS Double Degree Plan[edit | edit source]
This is a degree plan to go for 2 separate degrees at the same time which was made approximately July of 2022. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
You will get 2 separate diplomas since this is considered 2 separate degrees and not a double major. One is from the Bachelors of Arts school and one from the Bachelors of Science school. On your transcript, it will also list 2 separate degrees.
Once you meet the requirements for a BA Computer Science degree, you would only need 4 more courses + the business capstone to have a degree in BSBA CIS.
To go from a BSBA CIS to a Computer Science degree is a bit harder since the level of difficulty of courses is a lot harder. You would need in addition, Discrete Math, Data Structures, Computer Architecture, Calculus which by themselves some students take 2-4 weeks or more to complete each individual subject. Otherwise the process is basically the same.
30 Credit RA Requirement for TESU[edit | edit source]
Each degree has a limit of 90 alternatives credits which are accepted. The RA credits and alternative credits can apply to each degree so that you only need 30 RA credits total for both degrees.
To RA credits, you can get credits from ONU, Tel Learning, UMPI or other options.
Avoiding the $3192 Residency Waiver Fee[edit | edit source]
You will need to take 16 credits at TESU in order to avoid the residency waiver fee. You could take the flat-rate term to avoid the residency waiver fee for $4639.
Associate Degree in Business, Computer Science, or Math Degree Plan[edit | edit source]
If you follow the degree plan below, then you should be pretty close to obtaining an Associate Degree for free without having to take bunch of additional courses. It's recommended to at least get an associates if you don't get the additional bachelor's degree.
If you are going for both bachelor's of CS and BSBA CIS, then you can look into the Math Associates as it only requires a few more additional courses for that degree.
If you are doing the CS degree, then going for the associates in business would be quite easy.
If you are doing the BSBA CIS degree, then going for the associates in computer science would be easy and require very few additional courses.
