TESU SOS-110

What courses satisfy TESU SOS-110 Living in the Information Age OR Critical Information Literacy (Information Literacy)? Will Tech Writing satisfy?

Unfortunately, nothing will. SOS-110 MUST BE TAKEN AT TESU! No exceptions. (unless you already have a bachelors degree)

On a side note, I wish there was some way to put this at the top of the forum or in the FAQ or something. A lot of new people keep asking about this.

Thanks for the reply, that's what I thought, now you said "unless you have a Bachelors Degree", do you mean a TESU degree? or a Degree from any where?

Not sure. I know for if you have a prior TESU degree you are exempt (TESU told me this via e-mail), however, we aren't sure about degrees from anywhere else. I don't believe anyone on this has earned a bachelors degree from somewhere else and then went to TESU as of recent. And if there is anyone in this circumstance, they haven't posted about whether or not they have to take SOS-110.

Also, just as an FYI, TESU's second-degree policy is that you must earn 24 new credits in the AOS and these 24 new credits must be earned after the first-degree conferral. They are strict on this and don't budge on it.

With these changes along with an increase in residency wavier, TESU is not as cheap as it used to be.

It's literally only the two courses that you mentioned that will fulfill this section of your degree program. Living in the Information Age was the required cornerstone course after TES-100 was phased out. Critical Information Literacy is the new cornerstone course that will be required as Living in the Information Age is being phased out.

Critical Information Literacy and Living in the Information Age are the same thing both have course number SOS-110. Just anyone takes SOS-110 before July 2019 takes living in info age and anyone who takes SOS-110 takes critical info lit. Just a different name and some different material but much of its the same.

Got it, either way, more money to pay.

Hmm, This is interesting... Just wondering which degree are you going for timblackwell?
You're not on the 2019a catalog are you? Did you add another degree to your plans list?

Also TESU has made it very clear no matter what catalog you are on, if you don't finish TES-100 by July 1st 2019 at midnight you have to take SOS-110 instead. So at this point basically everyone has to take SOS-110 no matter what if they didn't do TES-100.

I'm on the 2019A plan for Computer Science. 2nd Degree, first Degree from Excelsior. And I do have additional 24+ credits.
