My grandpa has a bachelors of science in Natural Science from way back and he had a teaching career as a 9th and 10th grade science teacher for many many years. He is one of the smartest people I know so I will be very happy to have a Natural Science degree
BSBA CIS from TESC, BA Natural Science/Math from TESC
MBA Applied Computer Science from NCU
Enrolled at NCU in the PhD Applied Computer Science

Bunbu Wrote:I'd do something like this:
Required courses:
Straighterline - Calculus I
Straighterline - Calculus II
LSU - Multidimensional Calculus
BYU - Linear Algebra (3U)
Straighterline - Statistics
Electives:
BYU - History of Math (3U)
COSC - Math Logic
Straighterline - Precalculus
BYU - Differential Equations (3U)
ESC - Discrete Math (3U)
LSU - Probability (3U)
They won't let you use pre-calc as an elective, it would go into gen ed requirements. I don't know how good a job TESC does at explaining it but all the other math programs I've looked into make it clear that at the minimum a course needs to be 200 level or better in order to count towards
the major. So COSC's math logic is out too (that class has nothing to do with being a math major).
Steelogre, the other three schools are great for upper level math credit but make sure to check that all three will honor Straighterline courses the way you need them to. I'm not sure what money difference exists between the three, but I believe you can do all the electives you need through ESC alone. Even if you use BYU and LSU you will still need another school in order to get all six electives in.

Linda, that's exactly how I planned to do it. If you wrote Bachelor of Arts in Natural Sciences and Mathematics would it be incorrect or a lie?
I was also going to stick to B.A., Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
The concentration vs. major thing still boggles me. I understand engineering, nursing ,etc. but I have given up on trying to understand it lol. I'm just glad to be finishing college and I have already started to put TESC on my resume and noted what degree I anticipate and employers haven't made anything but positive comments.

No one has questioned my wording. When I am interviewed I do make a point of saying I have a total of 60 Science and Math credits.

Why do you mention that? ..just out of curiosity.
BTW, what kind of positions are you interviewing for? I'm just going to be interviewing for executive assistant positions and it seems to me that I know many EAs that just have a BA degree, period..liberal studies..music..fine arts. I think they just want to know we have a Bachelors for the most part,so I hope they don't look at my degree and think I'm going to skip town on an EA job for something more math/science related.

I mention it because I am interviewing for either a Math/Science teacher or a laboratory job.

Oh I see! I'm thinking that for my EA jobs I may as well just put
Thomas Edison State College
2011, B.A.
and just keep it simple if they are afraid to see the NS&M for my office support positions..hopefully not. I'm actually only finishing up my B.A. in NS&M because practically all of my credits transferred over for it, it comes a little more naturally to me and it looks decent on a piece of paper (ie. resume) vs. B.A. Music or B.A. Liberal Studies, which are totally fine for my positions, but I feel like there is something about B.A. Natural Sciences & Mathematics that has just a bit more edge to it. :roflol:
