2 BA degrees

[gams007]

My question is if you do a BACS and BALS at same time is possible? or if you pay the flat fee to finished the capstone and the cornestone on the BACS you can  later bring 24 credits and have get them both?
the requirements are almost similar to each other.

You CAN get a BACS and a BALS at the same time; TESU considers it only one degree when the two have the same school (BA, BSBA, BS) and different AOS. But it doesn't really make sense to get a BALS when you're getting a BACS. A BALS is considered a "generic" degree while a BACS is a specific degree so you would be spending extra money for no real benefit. Instead, you might want to consider BACS + History, English, or Psychology. Any of these would be a better option than the BALS.

Yeah you should be able to do both, there are a few members who did both majors, the liberal arts major can be a concentration, some people like to take a concentration in Humanities, Social Science, or the NSM option, but they don't really want to major in any of those particular fields, so they mix and match a set of courses they're interested in.

For example, ArmstrongSubero did a BALS with NSM concentration and a BACS recently, his BALS NSM was a mix of CS/CIS/Math UL & LL courses that interest him. Another reason people take the BALS is because for most subjects in the Humanities & Social Sciences, you can apply and gain entry into a Masters program without further study unless it has specific prerequisites.

And regarding TESU's the new credit policy of 90 credit max how can it be done?
My other question is I found a course introduction to programming at MNJC and it has 4 credit value does this value count the same at TESU if a i transfer it??

Your other question was asked a few hours ago: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid326004 - It's NMJC BTW, and it should come into TESU as a 4 credit course as it should transfer in as the same amount of credits you received from the previous institution. However, it won't matter, you don't always end up with 120 credits for a degree, some people have much more than that. Even if it comes in as 3 credits, you should hit the spot.

And regarding the 90 credit max policy for alternative credits, it won't really matter if you have 24 RA credits already. If not, then you'll have to get over that 90 credit limit before March 1, 2021 - they should still allow you access to transferring more credits until that hard date/deadline. So, keep up the good work with the Alternative Credits, and keep pushing hard to get most of them done before then. I would refrain from going to UMPI then going for the BACS at TESU unless it's cheaper, easier, faster...

Thank you very much!  We did a ton, but one of the newer courses we really needed to add, and this code is perfect!

I’m confused on the duel degree idea. If you major in bacs and get 2nd area of study in bals do you have to complete Approx 60 additional credits or just 30?

IIRC, you only need 24 additional credits per AOS that do not overlap with one another.

[Pats20]

Oh Okay. Thanks. Do any of the additional 24 have to be upper level ?

Yes, 18cr have to be UL - and 3cr will be the capstone.
