Hey everyone! Here's a TESC degree plan for a BA Communications for my second sister.

She's enrolled under the old catalog, and doing the Per Credit Tuition plan.
She's taking some early childhood credits from a local community college, in order to work at a preschool; I pretty much filled free electives with those. (CC courses are all lower level at TESC, right?)

What I'm mainly looking for is UL options in her area of study (Communications). If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Straighterline has Business Communications. Straighterline claims on their equivalency chart that it will transfer in as COM 300.
Saylor has Managerial Communication recommended for credit by NCCRS, but it duplicates the TECEP.

You might ask if they would accept Penn Foster's Business & Technical Writing ? I think it would be a great fit, it transfers as ENG-216 and does not duplicate DSST Technical Writing. The recommended straighterline course along with the capstone totals the necessary 18 UL credits, so she's all set.
