For the Associate in Arts Degree (AA) at TESU I don't see the Cornerstone listed as a requirement like I do in other Associate Degree tracks. https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/aa/index
Is it required for the AA Degree or not? I will email them but I thought maybe I could get a quicker answer here first. Thanks.

I would think that it is. This wouldn't be the first page at TESU that isn't up to date. However, if you get the Study.com affiliation, the requirement is waived.

There are a few Associates at TESU that do not require a Capstone and can be tested out of;
Associate in Arts (This is the General Associates)
Associate in Science in Business Administration
ASNSM in Mathematics
ASNSM in Computer Science
ASNSM in Biology (possible test out)
EDIT: I first read Capstone, I see that you mentioned Cornerstone. The Cornerstone is easily waived by taking a course (or more) through Study.com as just mentioned for the other associates I listed (that may have more applied job market value). Many TESU associate degrees do require a Capstone, that is far too much $ for that level of a degree (imo) - the required residency waiver is costly enough.

Even if it's not listed on the website for each individual degree, the cornerstone is required for ALL degrees at TESU (AA/AS and BA/BS).

If you read the full post, you can see that there was an edit, where allvia mentioned that he/she didn't realize you meant cornerstone rather than capstone.

I did indeed mean Capstone - many of the TESU associate degrees Do require a Capstone. Not the same Capstone that is required for a Bachelor degree, but it means you have to take (& pay for) a 3 credit course at TESU in addition to the residency waiver. https://www.tesu.edu/academics/online-degrees for details.

I noticed in your signature that you have an Associate Degree in CS from TESU. So you had to take TES-100 Cornerstone: Lifelong Learning Strategies or have it waived with Study.com AND you had to take a Capstone/3 credit course? Can you take any course you want or is there a course number for the Capstone? This is news to me. I had no idea that you had to take 3 credits with TESU.
