I agree with everything Stephen said.

I thought I was asking if the course credit was good for anything other
than a CIS associates degree.  I didn't disparage the course content.
Nor did I whip out my BS in CompSci and slap around the lesser
educated.  All I want to know is if the course credit side sweetens the
deal in any way for someone not pursuing their CIS degree.  Does it?
Can I mix in my Financial Accounting credits, with this credit, take a
golf class for "free" lessons, and a dance class to pick up hot chicks,
and get a general studies AA in the process?(this IS community college
lol)  Anyone?  I know we have a mix of Pima students and profs on this
list.
