Does anyone have examples of TESU allowing a BS LDAS degree option in a scientific discipline? I am proposing a BS LDAS degree and would like some feedback before I submit the application. I am applying for the A/A Meteorology Degree within the next month or so, and I am 85% complete with the proposed degree, and credits range from traditional and online courses, JST/ACE, CLEP & TCEP, Saylor, and PLA. The fallback degree option is the BA.LS Natural Sciences.
My proposed degree is as follows:
