Questions regarding TESU, & TECEP

[aluminumace]

About me: Between Sophia and CC credits I have 86 credits (all lower-level, state government may be upper-level at transfer), and I’m currently attending Liberty online, and will have an additional 9 upper-level credits in early March. I’ve had some road blocks, and have fallen behind schedule, and am looking into alternative options to finish with a Bachelor’s Degree within next 12-14 months.
 
TESU’s BLS with no concentration looks to be a good option. The credit distribution for the BLS states “Students complete a total of 42 credits of Liberal Studies courses that include at least 15 credits at the 3000/4000 level and no more than 6 credits at the 1000 level.”
1.      What classes would generally be considered liberal studies? My 3 UL classes from Liberty would be Photography, U.S. History, and History of Graphic Design.
If my UL credits fell ideally, my gameplan would be to get 6 UL ACE credits to make a round 90s credit, add on 9 credits from Liberty, take 5 TCEPS, then take SOS-1100, and the capstone, and graduate. I’m aware of the ~$4000 waiver.
2.      Do TECEP credits count against the 90-hour credit limit? I imagine this might be my greatest question.
I’m currently in the pre-planning phase, and would likely get started with TESU in March, but wanted to see if there are any holes that would cause this plan to fail.

TECEPs don't count against the 90-credit transfer limit. The 90-credit limit is for ACE/NCCRS credits in total, then there is a separate 90 credit limit for CC, and no real limit for the credits from a 4-year university.

The BALS Wiki page should help you see the types of classes that can go into the AOS / upper level requirement:

Welcome to the board, it's great you're asking questions to get started, it's best to provide more details by filling in the addendum and template here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Liberal Studies can be anything (not applied or business related classes). TECEPs are RA credits, it can go towards the 30 RA requirement and you can transfer in up to 114 credits. If you provide the details requested on the addendum/template, we can help you further.
