Associate in Arts TESC Plan

Intro to Criminal Justice is almost always going to be coded as AOJ-102. TESC has this course listed as a social science. It is erroneously listed as a human services course on the DSST page. I had an Intro to CJ course coded as AOJ-102 and transcribed as a social science without even asking. Just because a course is transcribed as an AOJ course does not mean it will automatically not be counted as a social science. For CJ courses that are not offered by TESC, TESC will have to determine if its contents warrant it being a social science. For Intro to CJ, TESC has already determined that it is a social science. In other words, if TESC transcribes the Intro to CJ course as AOJ-102, it means that the contents of the course match the course at offered by TESC and it is automatically a social science. If it weren't, it would not be coded AOJ-102. There is a member on here who used several AOJ courses from Penn foster for his social science degree. I used a few AOJ courses myself.

Don't even bother calling the advisor hotline about this. An advisor told me that the DSST for Fundamentals of Counseling would not count as a social science because it's listed as a human services course. I think this was also the lady who hung up on me. When the test score got to TESC, it was transcribed as PSY-331 like it was for umpteen million other people on this forum and went into my social science area of study. By the way, this lady also couldn't tell me if Intermediate Algebra would fulfill the math requirement for my degree. It did.

If you want to see for yourself, TESC has 5 of its own AOJ courses listed as social sciences including AOJ-102.
