Anyone able to transfer their TESC degree to a B&M school?

New Mexico Junior College is an excellent alternative for this plan if your in one of the states where CC isn't cheap....classes start in just a few days though.

Yes, good suggestion- and without checking I think California is cheap*cheap*cheap if you are a resident (OP didn't say their state) but I think it's around $35/credit if I remember. All the New Mexico schools have excellent tuition. I don't know about the credit cap do you? I know the University of New Mexico has that crazy 6 credit cost cap.....sorry, normally I look up answers to my own questions lol, it's been a lonnnnggggg day.

In another thread, the OP expressed an interest in an AAS in Polysomnography at TESC. I'm sure it is a growing field, but I don't know how many colleges offer this degree. My concern with this or any transfer is expecting to be a junior but having to start over as a freshman again. Successful transfers usually require careful planning.

Ohhhhhhh, excellent catch. In that case, my suggestions are also completely different. The question asks about an AA degree, not an AAS. <sigh> An AAS does not transfer (meaning that you'd still be a freshman upon completion- maybe second semester, but by no means a junior) no matter what school (TESC or AnyStateU) so that's a difficult situation.

People who pursue an AAS should not expect that they can earn a BA as part of that plan. You have to think of them as different entities. AAS degrees are career/technical training which are often "terminal" meaning- there is no "next" degree. There are about a zillion exceptions and loop holes, with some not-so-obvious work arounds, but all the info up front is the best way to get the best answer.
