I see other people in this thread saying a cornerstone is required for the AA but I have never read anything about a Capstone being required for an Associate Degree. I hope that is not the case.
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 read the full post. I was referencing the "EDIT" that you are talking about, I highlighted it.
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.
As stated in my previous post the ASNSM in Computer Science does not have a Capstone requirement. I am graduating (this year) with my Associate Degree in CS at the same time as my BSBA, so I only pay the residency waiver (& graduation fee) once. It is a free 'add on' degree for me since it does not have a Capstone course. The only Capstone course I had to take (& pay for) is for the BSBA. I do not have to take a Cornerstone for either degree due to having Study.com courses transferred in (that I actually got for free due to the Guardian Scholarship). When I applied to TESU I had a very high number of LL CS courses already through CC B&M schools - it is however one of the degrees that can be tested out of, plenty of LL CS options available.
Again, these are the associate degrees at TESU that do not require a Capstone course (& can be tested out) -
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)
Amberton - MSHRB
TESU - ASNSM/BSBA

I was browsing the "what if I want this degree machine" on the tesu site and noticed one more that doesn't mention a need for a capstone:
AAS criminal justice
Not sure if you can test out of the required 21 CJ credit hours or not but someone might find that useful.
