Here is a Business Administration Degree plan for [[Southern New Hampshire University]] (SNHU) as of approximately January of 2022. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
Here is a Computer Science Degree plan for [[Southern New Hampshire University]] (SNHU) as of approximately July of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.


The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.
The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.


=== Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses ===
=== Taking Alt Credit Courses Not on a Equivalency List ===
Start with Sophia, do English Composition first. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so after you start English Comp, do a course that doesn't have any touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, start doing other alternative credit courses.  
Check with the equivalency list to make sure the course number match up. In the event a course is available but not on equivalency list, you need to get those courses approved before taking them. Contact the SNHU advisor to get courses approved.  


=== How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits? ===
===MAT-243 Requirement ===
Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU.  At that rate, it would take 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.   
The computer science degree requires Stats (MAT-243) however if you take Sophia stats (MAT-240) and take IT-140 intro to programming then SNHU will accept MAT-240 for the MAT-243 requirement.

===How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?===
Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU and max of 3 courses per term once you done a couple of terms.  At that rate, it would take 8 to 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.

Computer Science Degree Plan[edit | edit source]

Here is a Computer Science Degree plan for Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) as of approximately July of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.

The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.

Taking Alt Credit Courses Not on a Equivalency List[edit | edit source]

Check with the equivalency list to make sure the course number match up. In the event a course is available but not on equivalency list, you need to get those courses approved before taking them. Contact the SNHU advisor to get courses approved.

MAT-243 Requirement[edit | edit source]

The computer science degree requires Stats (MAT-243) however if you take Sophia stats (MAT-240) and take IT-140 intro to programming then SNHU will accept MAT-240 for the MAT-243 requirement.

Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses[edit | edit source]

Start with Sophia.org, do English Composition first. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so after you start English Comp, do a course that doesn't have any touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, start doing other alternative credit courses.

How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?[edit | edit source]

Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU and max of 3 courses per term once you done a couple of terms. At that rate, it would take 8 to 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.
