TESU 2nd Area of Study

[katelynn]

I just want to confirm my understanding of this based on information gathered from a few different threads on here:

If I wanted to do a second area of study, I would:

A. Make sure that it's within the same "type" of degree (in my case, Bachelor of Arts)
B. Complete the Gen Ed requirements for that degree
C. Complete both areas of study

And that's it? Are there any other roadblocks/obstacles? Also, I just want to confirm that the second area of study essentially replaces your free electives, is that correct? Are there any potential issues if the Gen ED + AoS 1 + AoS 2 add up to more than 120 credits (other than obviously having to do a few extra credits)?

Thanks in advance!

I was actually just talking about this with someone over lunch today. I think you can only bring 9 area of study credits into your second degree, but I might be wrong (probably am, honestly).

I wonder how many credits would transfer to a completely different degree type? Both your Gen Ed and elective credits, leaving only the 2nd degree's area of study credits to work on?

Yeah I read the 9 credit overlap rule here earlier today while looking into this:

Not a huge concern for me personally as the two AoS's I'm interested don't overlap much (History and Psychology), but good info to file away

Do you have to have separate elective credits (outside of Gen Ed electives, of course) if you do a second Area of Study, or does the second AoS essentially replace the free electives? (Edit: realize now that you probably meant different degree type as in Bachelor of Arts vs Bachelor of Science). Question still stands in general, but not related to what you said as I now understand it.)

Yeah, I think we both have the same question except you want a 2nd AoS and I want a 2nd degree type altogether, but still want to use the same elective credits. Either way, we both need answers haha.
