Degrees and certs at the same time, TESU

[swalke321]

If you do a second Bachelors at TESU you have to wait until you have officially graduated with the first bachelors before earning the new credits. If you plan on graduating in Dec 2017 then the earliest you could start earning the new credits for the second Bachelors would be Dec 2017 but the courses exams would have to be completed after the conferral date, TESU will give you the exact conferral date. You can start on courses or start studying for exams before that time but can't complete anything until after the conferral date. There is still not much known about the residency waiver fee. Some are saying it is effective for a year after paying it but no one knows for sure if that means it would apply to two degrees. So you would have less then a year to earn the new 24 credits. It could be doable. If you choose a degree that has more than 24 credits required in the AOS then you could start working on some credits before graduating. The capstone course is required for most degrees at TESU so if you did a BA degree then you would have to take it at TESU. It would give you a gpa but for only one course. I think some of the BA degrees have specific requirements that must be met so it might be more challenging to find alternatives for them.
