Have been reading related posts, getting started and wiki. Can post all credits if helpful but this specific question relates to this coming Fall semester at a North Carolina Community College which is RA transferring later to TESU. These are the classes we are currently registered for this coming Fall semester.
From the TESU website are the Course Equivalencies:
NC CC HEA 110 = TESU HEA 106 Personal Health
NC CC HUM 115 = TESU HUM 105 Critical Thinking
NC CC COM 110 = TESU COM 120 Intro to Mass Comm
However when we type in BUS 139 which is Business Entrepreneurship at CC there is no Course Equivalency for TESU. Can we assume that since the CC is RA this will transfer to TESU as an elective?
We are just starting on the TESU/alternative credit idea and want to make sure that everything will transfer to TESU at least as an elective.
There is also an option of taking BUS 240 which transfers to TESU as BUS 211 Intro to Bus and Society, but because of Professor ratings and managing course load with job and other obligations BUS 139 is a better fit for this semester.
Still trying to figure out the ultimate degree but it is likely any Bachelors. It seems like the BALS is the most obvious at this point.
Thank you in advance!
You keep saying we, are you planning this for someone or is this for you? I ask because if you're planning for someone, I wonder if you're getting free dual enrollment? If so, that changes my answer- because if I'm totally wrong and you're just taking classes, this may not end well for you.
TESU works as a super-affordable option because the credit you're earning somewhere else is deliberately lining up with your TESU degree for the purpose of a 114 credit transfer. You won't be able to get more than 80 (or is it 90?) through the community college, and so to do that, they have to be selected perfectly. Then, you still need to plan for the remaining 40ish credits using either alternative credits or at the very least, TESU credits. If you plan to take courses at TESU, you're about to spend a fortune of money. If you have a fortune to spend, there are so many other options.
I happen to live in NC, so I'm super familiar with their CCs and universities- can I help you a little with this? If you're willing to share a bit more about what you're doing and where you want to end up, I'm sure I can improve your efficiency with the process.
PS yes, your courses will transfer to TESU at least as an elective, but it's better to match them up to the requirements instead. You only have a max of 27 elective credit slots (9 classes) and you can fill those with credit that is free (literally $0) so using CC courses expends a lot of work just to get elective credit.
