TESU BACS degree plan

[rachel83az]

I really appreciate ya'll's help. I'll call tomorrow and schedule an advising appointment with Don.

Somewhat unrelated, I looked at the eval for an AS in math and it says I need a quantitative literacy class and suggests MAT-121. I have MAT-121 but they put it in an elective spot. Will discrete math fill the quantitative literacy requirement?

Also, how many associate degrees can I get? I found I have all the credits except the capstone for the AAS Health Studies and (like bj mentioned) the AAS Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies. I'm also only one extra class (and the capstone) away from an AA in Human Services. I certainly don't need 4 associate degrees, I like free stuff.

For the ASNSM Math, literally any math will fill the quantitative literacy and elective slots. Quantitative Literacy will generally be the lowest math you've taken, but the AOS will fill up first. If you take (or transfer in) MAT-1050, that will wind up in Quantitative Literacy for the ASNSM Math and everything else will wind up in the AOS.

As for which Associates to get, I would go with whatever will look best on a resume. IMO, this means skipping the AA in Human Services. Do the ASNSM Math (and, if desired, the ASNSM Computer Science). Plus the combined AAS Health Services and AAS Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies. IMO, this will give you the most bang for your buck.

Out of curiosity, did you complete the AAS/AA requirements with alt credits or prior RA credit? I'm assuming the latter, but would be interested if it's the former.

Sorry, didn't mean to ghost! My AAS/AA requirements are filled by 60%ish RA credit.

I couldn't find the ASNSM in the academic evaluation. Is this expected?

Thanks for all your help!

The ASNSM Math in the What If Academic Evaluation should now be under something like Mathematics, AS

Thank you!

Is it possible to transfer ENEB classes to TESU? I just submitted my last paper for the Big Data masters. I don't even know if any of the classes would be useful for the BACS.

Yes. If you get the final transcript evaluated by specific accreditors, as per https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB

Will they be useful? I don't know. I would probably go for the "graduate certificate" and not the "Bachelor's degree" by ECE. The graduate certificate has the most chance of giving you UL credits that might work for the BACS.

I'm guessing that you aren't going to have to take the Capstone, since you already took it (it does not have to be related to your major). And of course no cornerstone since it's a 2nd bachelor's degree. No GE's required, so you won't have to fulfill Quant Lit.

So you can do a 15cr term and literally take anything you want (I think that's a first on here). Or if you want to go fast, just take everything you need via alt-credit, and pay the residency waiver (AGAIN) - but this time, you're just paying for that and the other fees, no courses at all needed through TESU. If I were you, I'd do that.
