Career and School Info for Computer Programmers in Wyoming

If any of the other students are like me, they want to cut out as many of the courses that do not directly relate to their major as possible. One thing I REALLY wish I knew before was that I should have decided on a University to transfer to and stuck with it.

My first two years of college were at a community college in Washington State in order to get rid of all of the classes I could so I could take what was left at a university I transferred to. The original plan was to finish two years at Centralia College, the community college I went to, and then transfer to Washington State University, of which I'd already been accepted to. I'd talked to a counselor about what classes I should take and how I should plan for things, and he explained how getting an AA would get rid of a bunch of classes that I did NOT want to take. I figured that worked with all universities. A few months before I earned my AA and was ready to transfer, I had a sudden change of plans and decided to transfer to the University of Wyoming.

After emailing a counselor for an indirect class preparation, I realized that I was going to have to take some classes that I planned on not taking. As it turns out, my AA would have kept me from taking certain classes… if I had stayed in Washington. Because my AA was from a Washington community college, it was only good to transfer with to a Washington university. No one had explained this to me. So this means that my change of plans, of which had no cost effect before, has changed to where I need to take extra classes as a Wyoming requirement. This kind of information would have been VERY helpful earlier.
