TESU BA psychology

[mysonx3]

Note: Your Capstone is not included in this 18, so in total, a minimum of 21 credits are UL.

The Capstone IS included in this 18. Only 15 additional UL are needed.

[Supermind]

In my academic evaluation, there are three electives sections:
Gen-Ed electives (18) , AOS electives (6) & Additional Electives (21).
Two of my UL courses have been included as AOS electives. One other course has been included in the requirements section. I am presuming the 4th will come as an additional elective.

My understanding is this:

If your AOS electives are full, GenEd electives should be next on the hierarchy UNLESS you have a Knowledge of Human Cultures slot available, in which case that particular course should go there. If both Knowledge of Human Cultures and GenEd electives are full, then it will go in Additional Electives.

So basically there's no way to have Organizational Theory, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, and Psychology of Personality all count towards your UL requirement.

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Two of my UL courses have been included as AOS electives. One other course has been included in the requirements section. I am presuming the 4th will come as an additional elective.

It needs to be in the AOS electives section if you want to use it for UL credits. Pretty much any Psychology course can be included here though, it shouldn't fall into section III / other electives unless there is no better match elsewhere.

If it is slotted in section III, you can always challenge and ask for it to be moved to AOS electives.

The reason it wouldn't count towards his AOS electives is because he's already filled both slots (there are only 2 AOS elective slots for Psychology). Sure, the new class could replace one of the ones currently there but that doesn't help him as that would be replacing UL with more UL. Unless you can get TESU to allow additional AOS electives beyond the normal two (which seems extremely unlikely to me)

My Gen-Ed is partially full, and Knowledge of human cultures (12) is available. If they can push Intro to psychology to human cultures section, and accommodate I/O Psychology in the AOS, that might be very helpful.

I/O Psychology transfers into TESU as an UL course.

Oh poopers, yeah, that was a typo on my part. What I wanted to elaborate on is this...
See below: You need 18 UL credits total, it doesn't really matter which ones you choose from.
Note: Your Capstone is not included in this 18, so in total, a minimum of 21 credits are UL.

III. Electives 21

Basically, grab 18 UL credits that will fit into Required Courses/Psychology Electives.
Use any Saylor.org course you haven't taken and have that moved to your Gen Ed or Free Electives
In total, you can use pretty much anything they offer to get you the 17 GE +21 FE credits required.
You should create a spreadsheet or grab the one I have on post #27/28, stick everything you want to work on into it.
Then, you won't have to worry about picking/choosing a course, you'll already have a plan and get it done promptly.

Thanks bjcheung. I am about to complete a few courses this week. I actually have a spreadsheet modeled after yours. I will put all these courses and post it here for all of you to comment. I think that might give a clearer picture of my situation.

My Gen-Ed is partially full, and Knowledge of human cultures (12) is available. If they can push Intro to psychology to human cultures section, and accommodate I/O Psychology in the AOS, that might be very helpful.

If they push Intro to Psychology to the Knowledge of Human Cultures then you would be missing that requirement in the Area of Study

I thought I might just post my academic evaluation here, for you all to see. My comments/time schedules for completion of courses are in brackets. I plan to schedule a meeting with an academic advisor. But if you could all help me with suggestions that I can offer during my meeting with the advisor, that might be very helpful.

In the worst case, I might have to opt for two Uexcel exams- Abnormal Psychology & Social Psychology. And this is the decision I need to make within the next 10 days or so. Bcos I am studying for Advanced Social Psychology course on SDC at the moment. I haven't yet given the test. Should I refrain from testing for this topic, and just decide to do the Uexcel test? Whatever I have studied might serve as a good prep for that.

I'm pretty sure they'll allow you to give up free elective space to add UL to your Psych AOS space. Make a phone call or send and email to advising.

Thank you. Will do.

[Supermind]

Update on my situation: So far, two emails from advising seem to suggest that nothing can be done to accommodate I/O Psychology (PSY-401), even though it is UL. But I am requesting them to somehow help me accommodate this course and meet my 12 AOS credit requirement. Any added suggestions? What do I tell them?

[jsd]

Did you specifically ask if you could add it as an additional AOS elective by giving up 3 free elective hours (giving you an overage in AOS electives)

I have. They are yet to reply to that email.

---

I think they initially got a bit confused if I am suggesting that the I/O course be used in lieu of some other AOS requirement like research methods or abnormal psychology. I had to clarify that I do not intend to supplant any other course with this. I do plan on completing all of the other courses. It is just that if this goes through, I will only need to look for one more UL option. If not, I need to look for two.

[Supermind]

They have ruled out any possibility of including I/O Psychology. This makes things difficult for me. I now need two more upper level credits either through Uexcel, TECEP or study.com. Please suggest options.
