TESC offers a "Bachelor's to Master's" program, where an undergrad student can take nine credits worth of graduate credit that will apply as upper level credit for the BA AND then carry over for the Masters. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I have a question about the wording of the requirements however.
Requirement 1 states: "earned at least 60 undergraduate credits toward a bachelor's degree at the College"
Does this mean one must complete 60 credits specifically through TESC (regular classes) or does it simply mean that one must have 60 credits recognized at the college (CLEPS and other tests on your transcript)?
Thanks for any help,
Jamie

I would guess that any 60 credits would apply, but if you are interested in that I'd talk to an advisor. In my case they didn't have a masters in my area so I didn't even look at it.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.

Timing! Within the MA in Liberal Studies, they've just recently introduced an
area of study in Professional Communications.

Yeah, I've seen that, just not what I'm interested in. That has a few writing courses mixed in with the rest of the liberal studies program, my program has 100% communications coursework and is cheaper too. I have nothing against liberal studies if someone is looking at it, but for me I wanted something more specialized and managed to find something cheaper than TESC which happens to also be closer to home too. Getting back to champ0608's post, I would encourage anyone interested to look into it, it's hard to beat undergraduate pricing on graduate coursework.
