Help to finding A degree/plan.

I'm considering getting both a BALS/BSBA, since i'll be able to transfer a lot of the credits to the other degree.. How many new credits do I need to obtain for a second degree?

Keep in mind that the Capstone courses for the BALS and the BSBA are not the same. That would mean that even if you can crossover some of the credits you'll still have to take each Capstone course - at approx $1000 to $1500 each.

Yeah, I was aware of that. But is there a max for how many courses I can transfer over for a second degree?

I believe the max is 9 credits can be shared with a second degree at TESU, assuming both degrees are conferred in the same graduation cycle.

According to the TESU Catalogue, if you come back later to get the 2nd degree, you'll need 24 credits in the core/AOS of the new degree which must have been earned after the date of the most recent degree. That suggests no credits will transfer towards a second degree earned at a later date, and you can't take advantage of any unused credits you may have left over either.

You cannot get those 2 degrees at the same time - they aren't from the same "school" within the university. So you could get 2 BSBA's at the same time with 2 different concentrations. Or 2 BALS's with 2 different concentrations. Or 2 BA's, like a BA in English and a BA in History.

If you wanted a BSBA and a BALS, then you would have to get them at different times, and the 2nd one would have to be 24 new credits in the AOS earned after the first was conferred. You would really have to plan it out so that you wouldn't share too many of the same credits, although it's not too difficult to do with 2 very different degrees.

Okay thanks, so I guess I would have to wait a year, before I can get my second done aswell?

No, you don't have to wait a year.  You just need to wait until after degree conferral (you'll get a letter).

I got a certificate from LTI (Language testing international), they have a service where I can have my certificate sent to TESU, will it yield credits then or will they even evaluate it?

How exactly does English Composition 1 and 2 work on Study.com? Do I just need to write 3 assignments in each course and thats it? I tried to read the syllabus and it says something about some exams as well. I haven't taken a study.com course yet, so i'm unsure how it works.
