Liberal Arts TESU Degree just some questions (Complete newbie)

[dfrecore]

Quick question, I was giving a second look at the General Management degree and remembered that this is supposedly the quickest/cheapest route towards a more notable degree, I also remember a while that there is a loophole to get around the Capstone, bust as I was looking around yesterday I was looking around and saw that because of the residency waver and no longer the need of TECEPS, the loophole involving the Strategic management TECEP is closed, can anyone confirm this? it isn't that I doubt the information just need some clarification is all, wouldn't the Penn Foster course still be a viable option or is that door closed as well?

the tl;dr, if I go the route of a General Management degree do I still to take the capstone? I haven't applied yet to TESU and only have 06cr

The "loophole" was never getting around the capstone - it's that you can take the Strategic Management (capstone) course as a TECEP exam, which means that it only costs $114 (instead of $1500 for the course through TESU). It's still available.

The former way of getting residency at TESU could be met by taking 24cr worth of TECEP's (and then later, 16cr) - that is no longer the case. So you now don't NEED to take TECEP's if you don't want to, but you can if you'd like to. I imagine most BSBA students will take the TECEP.

As for Penn Foster's Strategic Business Management course, that option is going away - TESU will no longer be accepting the course as the capstone after July 1. There is some question as to whether you have to finish the course by July 1, or whether you only have to enroll by that date, but for someone who is not enrolled at TESU, I imagine that it doesn't matter - they will not accept a transferred-in capstone course after July 1 if you're not a student.
