Computer Science Degree Plan
Here is a Computer Science Degree plan for Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) as of approximately May 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.
Taking Alt Credit Courses Not on a Equivalency List
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
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
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?
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.
Source of Credit
This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.
CLEP, DSST, AP Exams Equivalents and other Alt credit equivalents
General Education Requirements (42cr total)
There are a total of 42 credits worth of General Education Requirements.
Please refer to the SNHU GE Requirements Roadmap for details and suggestions on courses that will fulfill this requirement.

IT140 | Introduction to Scripting | 3 | Sophia or | Introduction to Python Programming or
Intro to Programming (Python) or CS 109: Intro to Programming (Java) or Google IT Automation Cert Note: SDC Data Structures assignment is in Java so you need to learn Java at some point. |

CS210 | Programming Languages | 3 | Study.com | CS 113: Programming in Python
Note: Not 100% sure this course will transfer in, but pretty sure you can find a programming course to transfer in. |

CS300 | Data Structures and Algorithms | 3 | Study.com | CS 201: Data Structures & Algorithms | 3 |
CS231 or DAD220 | Database Systems or Intro to Structured Database | 3 | Sophia | Introduction to Relational Databases | 3 |
CS230 | Operating Platforms | 3 | |||
CS250 | Software Development Lifecycle | 3 | Study.com | Computer Science 307: Software Engineering | 3 |
CS255 | System Analysis and Design | 3 | Study.com | CS 302: Systems Analysis & Design | 3 |

CS320 | Software Testing, Automation, and Quality Assurance | 3 | |||
CS330 | Computational Graphics and Visualization | 3 | |||
CS340 | Client/Server Development | 3 | |||
CS360 | Mobile Architecture and Programming | 3 | |||
CS370 | Current and Emerging Trends in Computer Science | 3 | Note: CS 310: Current Trends in Computer Science & IT ACE credit recommended credit has expired and can no longer be taken at Study.com for college credit. | ||
CS465 | Full Stack Development I | 3 | ** Reports are they are using the MEAN stack. | ||
IT145 | Foundation in Application Development | 3 | Sophia | Introduction to Java Programming | 3 |
MAT350 | Applied Linear Algebra | 3 | Coopersmith | Applied Linear Algebra
Note: SNHU Student Feedback Quote: matrixcalc.org is what I used. Everything it can do you could do with Matlab, but it's so much quicker to just enter in your matrices and click the operation you need. |

CS499 | Computer Science Capstone | 3 | |||
MAT230 | Discrete Mathematics | 3 | Study.com | Math 108: Discrete Mathematics | 3 |
PHY150 | Introductory Physics | 3 | Study.com | Physics 101: Intro to Physics
Note: Confirmed this came in as PHY-150 Intro Physics: Mechanics. However, transfer equivalent says transfer in as PHY101 - Principles of Physics for both SDC and SL. |
