Getting Art Degree from TESU: My Experience |

I just completed my BA in Art from TESU and will graduate this month. When I first started this journey, it was mentioned here that the Art degree at TESU is not well researched because few attempt it. I thought I would post my experience here to help add to existing information. My background: I started an art and graphic design based degree many years ago. When I applied to TESU, they took nearly all my old credits, even the older computer design classes. By comparison, my local community college practically laughed me out the door when I showed them my old Adobe classes. I was fortunate in that I did not have many studio classes left to complete. Studio classes are classes like painting, sculpture, etc and are very difficult to find online options for. TESU does not offer these classes and you have to bring them in from somewhere else. In my case, I was able to take my studio classes at my local community college, and TESU readily transferred them in. I also noticed they gave me upper level credit for some of my community college art classes which was helpful. If there is other information that would be helpful, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer!

US Citizenship Should Not Be Required for Entry into the University |

I am aware of Universities such as Western Governors University that require you to be a US Citizen in order to apply to their University. I don't agree with this policy. I would like for Western Governors University to open their University to International Students.
I am also interested in finding a program here which does accept international students and doesn't require you to be a US Citizen, in order to be a part of the University. I haven't checked out the other institutions yet, besides Western Governors. However: This is certainly an important issue before I proceed.

Lamar University is offering free graduate and undergraduate level courses for non-degree seeking students. It is stated for the Fall 2025 term, about half of the courses have already started, with the other half starting in October. I applied and it took 2 weeks to hear that they accepted me.
It is first come first serve, but it also mentions a waiting list, so possible they extend this into Spring 2026

Prep for UMPI MAOL |

Hello World,
I have applied and gotten into UMPI MAOL (Master of Arts Organizational Leadership) starting on October 27th. I graduated with a Bachelors in History and Political Science (Summa Cum Laude) from UMPI in 2024. I transferred in almost 90 credits of undergrad classes in from Sophia.org.
I plan to use this degree as a backup plan to teaching if I ever want to leave the profession. My backup plan would most likely involve some sort of civil service, city government or non profits. If I continue teaching long term, this masters can take me into admin/coaching within the school system.
Is there any way I can accelerate or make my workload easier before the start date based on my undergrad history (listed below)?
Thanks!
