Computer Science Degree Plan[edit | edit source]
Here is a Computer Science Degree plan for University of the People (UOP) as of approximately September of 2023. 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.
Limitations of nationally accredited college[edit | edit source]
- Transferability of Credits: Credits earned at nationally accredited colleges may not always transfer smoothly to regionally accredited institutions.
- Limited Recognition: Some employers and graduate programs may prefer or require degrees from regionally accredited institutions.
- Licensing and Certification: Some professions, such as nursing, teaching, and engineering, may require specific accreditation from specialized agencies that often align with regional accreditation.
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 2-4 courses per 9 week term at UOP. At that rate, it would take 7 to 11 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.

This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.
