My suggestion, get the BALS with Social Science concentration, go for a MS CJ at Walden. Be done with it... Another option is, if you're going the BA CJ route at TESU, is to double down with the BS Homeland Security, two degrees, it'll take you a little longer but you can use the 16 credits for residency instead of paying the residency route... this is just two, there are so many options with TESU, find out if you have the commitment, energy, time to get this done... if you have too many on your hands, decide which options are best for you...

Unless you're already enrolled at TESU, and have been since May or earlier, that's not actually the correct catalog to follow. It's confusing students, but they haven't updated their site to fully reflect the new catalog. The correct requirements for that degree are here: https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/Current/...al-Justice

Only 45 Gen Eds are needed. 45 credits in the AOS. 30 free electives.

That said, the CJ degree at UMPI would probably be faster, easier, and cheaper than continuing with a TESU degree. The only thing you're definitely missing for an enrollment at UMPI is the science-with-a-lab from Study.com. UMPI's assessments are mainly papers (and not exams), but the CJ courses you need to take for TESU are probably mainly papers - and possibly a lot more of them - anyway.

Thank you so much Rachel

UMPI is a good option as well, so is the Walden option as both will require you to take 30 credits through them (75% is transferable to both). You should again, get all your lower level with CLEP/MS and Sophia.org combo. Then finish off the remaining credits at either CBE option... if you don't know what courses to take, apply and see where these come in, you may check the Sophia.org and school websites for transfer equivalencies (if any).

This degree at TESU is going to be more expensive than others, so I'm not sure why you're doing it. But if you really, really want it, my suggestion is to first plan this out better. You have SO many credits, they can't all be used already - no need to continue taking/paying for courses you don't need. You need to figure out where you're going to get 1) the required courses; and 2) the UL courses you need (15cr + capstone).

A. INTRO TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE: Study.com, DSST, SL, Coopersmith
B. CRIMINOLOGY: Study.com,
C. LAW ENFORCEMENT: DSST
D. PROCDURES: PF
E. CORRECTIONS: PF
F. JUVENILE JUSTICE: CJ 305: The Juvenile Justice System (SDC - UL), SOCx320: Juvenile Delinquency (UExcel - UL)
G. RESEARCH METHODS: CJ 306: Research Methods in CJ (SDC)
H. ETHICS IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM: SOCSCI 108: Ethics in the Social Sciences (SDC)

I am unclear on the new requirements at TESU for the UL in the major - will the Sociology electives count towards the UL? If so, Study.com's SOC 305: Sociology of Work will work. That with the TEEX course, the capstone, and the Juvenile Justice course counts as 4 UL courses, so you need 2 more. So, if I were you, I would take 2 UL courses at CSUP that meet both the requirements you need, and are UL:
B. CRIMINOLOGY: CRIM 310 Criminological Theory
E. CORRECTIONS:CRIM 359 Community Corrections or CRIM 353: Penology

If you need another UL in CJ (rather than SOC), then you're going to have to take another one at CSUP.

Obviously, you need to talk to TESU to see what the requirements are and how those courses will come in (which means you need to be enrolled).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd definitely consider UMPI.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would not add on the HLS degree, as it will require too many courses you can't find elsewhere (almost no alt-credit available); and a 2nd capstone. it would be VERY expensive.

I forgot to mention:

ACTFL :
Arabic Speaking Proficiency - Advanced High          12C (6cr UL, 6cr LL)
Arabic Reading Proficiency - Advanced High             6C (this is not worth any credit, it's not on the list of languages available - check ACE national guide)
Arabic Listening Proficiency - Superior                     6C (this is not worth any credit, it's not on the list of languages available - check ACE national guide)

At TESU, you will get 12cr LL here total, and 9cr can go in Humanities and then the electives section of GE, and then 3cr will go in Free Electives.
