Sample TESU BS Cloud Computing Degree Plan
Generic BS Cloud Computing Degree Plan
This is a generic degree plan that applies to Thomas Edison State University for a Bachelor of Science in Cloud Computing as of approximately September of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
Cost
If you transfer in max credits, you should be able to finish the degree using one flat-rate terms taking 16 or less credits per term which would keep the total cost below $5,000.
General Education Requirements
As of 2021, students will be required to have a minimum of 30 RA credits to complete their degree. See the GE Requirements Roadmap for details and suggestions on courses that will fill this requirement.
Prerequisites Scientific Knowledge
7 credits required (can be fulfilled in either the General Education or Electives sections of the degree plan)
*Note: I'm not sure if these 2 courses are reqiured or suggestions, check with TESU advising. Physics II is reqiured so it may be hard to take Physics II without knowledge of Physics I.
