<p>I am a sophomore in high school and my school doesn't offer that many advanced classes (I go to a really small school), and I want to take as many courses before I head off to a university so I started taking classes at my local community college. I have already taken 4 courses, 3 math and 1 English. I became aware that an Associate's degree in Computer Science could be acquired through taking primarily online courses, something that would work out for me as far as time. Should I try to get a degree before graduating? I am not that smart but I work hard and have done pretty well on most standardized tests, and all of my classes have been pretty easy to get A's in. Please don't ask why I want to, but any advice as to whether or not it would be too hard or too time consuming would be nice. If anyone wants to see, here is the link to the degree requirements.

Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>if you still plan on going to college afterwards, you should check the transfer policies. if you take a certain number of credits from community college you’ll have to apply as a transfer instead of a 1st year freshmen</p>
<p>You’d still be considered a first year student. You wouldn’t apply as a transfer. Transfer students are students who have attended college or taken college courses outside of high school. 60 credit hours is sometimes the limit allowed towards college credit. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what colleges have told me.</p>
<p>Sorry if the link title is confusing, but what I’m pretty sure it means that the Associate’s degree is part of a transfer program already set up so that students can directly transfer into a state college, UNO in this case, with 2 years already done for their Bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>from your 1st post it sounds like you want to do it. if it’s already part of a transfer program go for it. it doesn’t seem like you have any cons</p>
