I just completed my BA in Art from TESU and will graduate this month. When I first started this journey, it was mentioned here that the Art degree at TESU is not well researched because few attempt it. I thought I would post my experience here to help add to existing information. My background: I started an art and graphic design based degree many years ago. When I applied to TESU, they took nearly all my old credits, even the older computer design classes. By comparison, my local community college practically laughed me out the door when I showed them my old Adobe classes. I was fortunate in that I did not have many studio classes left to complete. Studio classes are classes like painting, sculpture, etc and are very difficult to find online options for. TESU does not offer these classes and you have to bring them in from somewhere else. In my case, I was able to take my studio classes at my local community college, and TESU readily transferred them in. I also noticed they gave me upper level credit for some of my community college art classes which was helpful. If there is other information that would be helpful, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer!
