Which School to Choose for a Dual Baccalaureate Degree, COSC or TESC?

[Chicagoinvictus]

Hello and Thanks to all for some excellent suggestions and input. I e-mailed COSC yesterday to get input on enrollment and the dual degree, so far I have not received a reply. I attempted to call TESC today and could only leave a detailed message seeking information on enrollment and dual degree. I also e-mailed the TESC academic advisor at Great Lakes and asked to setup an in-person counseling session. Hopefully I will hear back from them in the next day or so, I will call Great Lakes tomorrow too.

With that said, from what I am reading it appears that TESC may suit my purposes best. I am seeking a dual degree with both listed on the diploma and transcripts. I may look into getting a joint social science/history or criminal justice degree. I didn't realize that I am finished with the requirements for the social science degree already. This site and the people on here are an awesome source of information!

I do have some questions:
1. What degree would be best for a future Masters degree, social science or history?
2. If I go the TESC route there is no cornerstone course, only a capstone?
3. If I do a dual major do I have to do two capstone courses?
4. Any suggestions on pursuing my Masters degree at TESC and how many of my existing baccalaureate credits could I use towards it?
5. I was planning on enrolling as a per credit tuition plan, someone recommended the Enrolled Options Tuition Plan which appears to be the more costly approach, any advice?
6. How fast can I get this done? I sent my SMART transcript and my official college transcripts to TESC on February 20,2014 and haven't heard anything. I will apply tonight.
7. What is the big difference between a dual degree and two separate degrees at once? Aren't they essentially the same thing? I didn't follow the advice about getting two separate degrees at the same time, what is the advantage?
8. Can I enroll and begin graduate level classes while finishing my Baccalaureate degree?
9. Any suggestions on a fast Masters program that is priced right?

My goal is to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and move on to obtaining a Masters degree. I am seeking the Masters degree for personal satisfaction and as a credential for future plans, one of which is to teach at the collegiate level one day. Any advice on the Masters degree would be appreciated too. I am thinking of either history or criminal justice, both are fields that I enjoy and am familiar with both professionally and as a hobbyist. There is so much information out there, I have researched the boards for awhile and figured now was the time to act.

Thank you all!
