Majoring in hospitality, tourism, or event management—any advice?
#11
Electives can be any classes from Sophia that were not already used.

My recommendation is to put together a spreadsheet with a tab for each possible choice school and do the best that you can in mapping the possible credits that could be accepted:

-For TESU, use the degree maps available - the business degrees are very similar and the Sophia courses will go mostly into the general education, a little bit in the business core and into electives. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:TESU
-For Cumberlands, the following thread has a pretty good listing of what transferred in from Sophia for a business degree: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/attachm...p?aid=4735
-For Columbia Southern, check the required courses for the degree and use the Sophia page to map what your son already has.

This will give you a solid place to start. You can also share your spreadsheet (read only) here from Google Sheets so others could provide better advise.

With TESU, it is a good idea to just apply to lock in the catalog and get your upfront initial evaluation: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Th...University

Upon reviewing the Undergraduate Admissions requirements, I noticed that while it states, "Applicants must be at least 18 for admission to Thomas Edison State University. Applicants between 18 and 19 should review the steps listed on the Undergraduate Admissions page" - it appears that these specific steps are not clearly outlined or may be missing from the linked section.

The minimum age is now 16:

Applicants must be 20 years of age or older, or be at least 16 years of age and demonstrate self-direction in a number of ways for admission to TESU. Applicants must also possess a high school diploma, GED, or a secondary home school diploma that meets the requirements of the applicant’s state of residency. To submit documentation demonstrating self-direction, please complete the Age Waiver Petition Request Form https://eforms.tesu.edu/appnet/adm20.html

Applicants between 16 and 20 years of age and unable to meet any of the self-direction criteria indicated will be required to complete a no-cost online orientation course https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mpm-...W4WTw/edit

Oh, you see what I mean about information overwhelm; I just read that applicants must be at least 18 for admission: https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/apply.ph...c07a72b7-0

Thank you for your help!
