You will still get to use it in your future degree there, so saving ~$1400. There's nothing that says they won't accept the TECEP towards the degree in the future, just that they're no longer offering it after the June term.
Ok, so I will plan to do the TECEP. I'm still worried about losing the option to substitute the exam instead of capstone:
In that other thread, socsci said "You would need to be enrolled at TESU quickly to lock in this years degree plan. I guess if you applied, did the TECEP and got the credits onto your degree plan, then you are good to go for one year. If you enroll after the change then you will have to follow the new requirements." So I guess it's uncertain if TESU will add a rule about not accepting this previously-taken TECEP. It seems likely they will add some kind of restriction saying a capstone has to be taken there, no substitutions, etc.

COSC has the rule and needs 30 new credits.

Yeah, that's why I'm trying to decide if I "have to" do the COSC Psych degree first. I think that all the GRE credits will go to waste unless I do COSC first. However, if I do COSC first, I miss out on the capstone exam TESU option.
dfrecore Wrote:Fourth, If you plan out the Psych degree at COSC, and then plan out your BSBA at TESU, I'm sure you can easily find 24 new credits that you'd need at TESU to finish the degree (between the Core and AOS).
Yeah. It's just that I would miss the capstone exam option, if the other post was correct.
