TESU AA question

[bjcheung77]

Hey BSINSC, Info Lit is required to be taken in at TESU, it's the Cornerstone course, every-booty from catalog year 2019a onward will need it.  The other course is the Capstone for Bachelor degree seekers, those are the only two required courses, the rest can be transferred into the degrees.

You can take the course for residency requirements towards a Bachelors degree if he's going for one, then he'll have to get more credits and slowly work towards that Bachelors.  I would recommend him paying the residency waiver fee of $2800 if he's transferring everything over.  If he's doing more courses at TESU, he needs 16 credits to meet residency requirements, do a calculation and see which one would fit his budget (or yours actually since you're most likely the one paying for it).

So, to recap, with Study.com discount: $379 x 16 credits = $6064 for an Associates & Bachelors degree
This fee can be cheaper if he takes 3 months to do ALL those credits, it'll just be under $4K ($3,963 flat rate)
Paying the residency waiver: $379 x 6 + $2800 = $5074 for both the Associates & Bachelors degree

Note: If your son needs or wants to attend a local public university or just wants to get graded credits, paying the extra grand will generate 16 graded credits for GPA purposes.  Looking into the future: If he's not sure what degree he wants, he might want to get a BALS now, or if he's wanting to get a degree in Business, he can go for the BSBA.  90 credits can overlap (actually 99).
