Transferring credit out of TESC

[uselezzz]

I am quite uninformed on TESC.

My college accepts TESC transfer credits. I'm studying math/cs. The math and CS classes that I want to take at my school are only offered at certain semesters and it is really frustrating trying to plan around this and all of the prerequisite requirements.

Essentially, I want to take Calc 2, Discrete Math, Physics 1, and Linear Algebra from TESC and transfer them to my university. Is this possible? How does transferring credits out of TESC work? And do you pay per semester or class or what? Does TESC support taking only a few classes and then transferring them?

Thanks.

Hmm, this is a funky question you've got, it's usually the opposite way around. Which university and program are you transferring to?
What is your budget for each course? Do you have any other options that you've looked at such as a community college or another 4 year college?
Have you got other college credits to transfer over to the university in question? You should look at the website for more info before you decide.

Ferris. Here is the program: Applied Mathematics/Computer Science Concentration - Ferris Course Catalog

I am also taking classes at the local community college. Cannot schedule the math classes like I want to there, either. The CC was very good for gen eds, but not for math, I'm finding.

Yes, I've got 60+ credits through the CC, the 4 year school, and Clep tests. The first part was easier to speed through, but now I'm battling these prerequisite requirements.

I highly recommend not taking courses at TESU for two reasons, COST is $1500/course and TIME (12 week courses)
Your best bet is actually APUS, and Straighterline, they and a few others are actually part of the Transfer System that Ferris uses.
I would take Straighterline's Calculus II and everything else from APUS (8 weeks?) from the list you have mentioned below.

Note: The courses that are showing on their transfer system are all for lower level (meaning 1st/2nd year courses)
You need to speak with an advisor to verify that the UL (the Calculus II and all others) come into their degree.

To actually answer your question, there's no problem taking courses at TESU and then transferring them away. You just pay a $15 transcript fee. One thing you may want to do is apply to TESU as a degree seeking student... The tuition is slightly higher for a non-matriculated student.

I'll copy and paste my post from a different thread, about math options:

LSU has Linear Algebra or Multivar (Calc III) for 3cr each, $728 per class. Elementary Differential Equations with Linear Algebra for 4 cr, $973. All self-paced.
UND has 3 credit classes: Linear Algebra, Calc III, Discrete Math, or Elementary Diff Eq...$278/credit with no additional fees ($834 per class). This is a little more than AMU/APU, but the advantage is, they're all self-paced, enroll anytime options.

My college accepts TESC transfer credits. Which means your college accepts regionally accredited credits from almost every 4-year university. That's awesome!

I'm studying math/cs. The math and CS classes that I want to take at my school are only offered at certain semesters and it is really frustrating trying to plan around this and all of the prerequisite requirements.

Essentially, I want to take Calc 2, Discrete Math, Physics 1, and Linear Algebra from TESC and transfer them to my university. Is this possible? Yes, easy, however, TESU is a pretty expensive option. Have you considered other colleges that offer these courses? TESU will cost you no less than $1,500 PER COURSE. You can find these courses elsewhere for much less. If your college doesn't require the credit to be from a 4 year college, you can use a different community college and get these closer to $300 PER COURSE.

How does transferring credits out of TESC work? Upon completion, you request your transcript, and it is sent to your college.

And do you pay per semester or class or what? Per CREDIT. $499 is the current cost per credit for out of state students. # credits you need x $499 = ouch.

Does TESC support taking only a few classes and then transferring them? . Their price structure discourages it. Most people reverse the process and they BRING their credit to TESU. This costs nothing, so you can see why that's an incentive! I suggest you consider other less expensive colleges to work your plan. What you want to do makes sense, but the school you're choosing to do it through doesn't. .
