TESC: Officially Amazing

[dcan]

You would never know just how specialized the programs can be unless you get someone on the phone. They can be very accommodating.

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? What is customizable and to what extent? Do you mean an LDAS or something else?

I'm planning a BSBA/CIS with a more technical/math concentration for the CIS part while still getting the business training (well, CLEPs etc) that I want. Is this the kind of thing you mean?

Thanks!

What I am referring to is being able to use ACE approved penn foster courses to fill UL courses in the specialization area. Or SL used for business communications. Another example, there may be a course in a similar area of your degree specialization that you are interested in taking but it is not listed in the recommended courses. You can petition the Dean and it possibly be accepted.

Separately, if the grad request cutoff is April 1 for June graduation and you are completing courses/tests by the end of April (sometimes early May) they have been known to accommodate those students in the June graduation. I've said this over and over but for some reason people will still wait to submit the request on July 1 for September and complain they had to wait so long. Situations like this are what I mean by accommodating.

I had a couple issues with TESC the new software gradeing system for physics and the online proctor and the bursars. But I still love the experience and my advisor is an awesome person.I have needed to finish my associates degree for years . I whipped through that and now finishing my Bachelors with 2 exams to go .Then my masters can get started. She help me find the right ACE accredited courses to supplement my full time education at TESC to help me do what I though would be next to impossible. I am proud to have done what I have this far and frankly feel pretty great-full to have the advisor I have. First in my namesake lineage to have a BAchelors now my wife has one too so now there is no excuse for my little one and career doors are opening.TESC is GREAT!
