TEEX Cybersecurity Equivalencies

Warning: As of November 2020, TESU is not accepting the combined courses of Cyber 101, 201, and 301 as they used to in the past. If you are getting a BALS or otherwise using these for elective credit, it is highly recommended that you add these courses to your transcript individually instead of in groups. If you were wanting to use 101 or 301 for free CS/CIS credits, you are seemingly out of luck at the present moment in time.

TEEX Cybersecurity courses are one of the free sources of credit available to students. (They also offer some non-free courses that some students may find useful.) There are two options when it comes to how to add them to your ACE transcript. You can add them individually or in groups. Cyber 101, for instance, consists of 3 individual courses that can be added to ACE as Cyber 101 or as the 3 individual courses. With that in mind, the following equivalencies have been found:

Cyber 101
Together, the all of the above courses combine into CAP-295 Intro to Security Basics at TESU for 4 credits. Use the individual courses if you want to do fewer courses and/or you need an ethics course.

Cyber 201
Together, the all of the above courses combine into CYB-120 Introduction to Cybersecurity at TESU for 3 credits. There appears to be no functional difference between combining the courses vs. transcripting them individually.

Cyber 301
Together, the all of the above courses combine into CIS-244 Computer Security at TESU for 3 credits. Transcribe as a block if you want to use as a GE credit or in the CIS area of study. Transcribe individually if you need an UL credit.
