If you make TESU aware that you are planning on graduating both degrees at the same time, will they put up both degree plans for you?  Or do you need to complete one before they add another?

Students who desire to have two different Thomas Edison State University baccalaureate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 24 credits are different in the second degree's core/area of study. In addition, all requirements for both degrees must be satisfied.

I was hoping they could comment on the information that I received from a supervisor in TESU academic advising about how the degrees must be done in series and not concurrently. (I guess I am really hoping that the information I got is incorrect, even though it comes from a supervisor, and that someone has actually experience in doing them concurrently.)

Thanks!

I would definitely add both degrees to your degree plan. I had 4 degrees total added by TESU, 2 bachelor's, and 2 associates. Adding the degrees ensures that the requirements are locked in, so you aren't affected by changes.

I wrote the dual BACS & BSBA CIS dual degree plan on the Wiki.

I graduated with all the degrees at the same time. There is a form you fill out when you want to graduate. Then you fill out a separate form for each of your other degrees.

Technically they will audit your degree, but that should be a formality if it says you met all the requirements.

Is he fully enrolled? If so, simply email advising and say "I would like to have Computer Science added to my degree plan. I do not want to remove the BSBA CIS." They may come back and give you some nonsense about getting both degrees at once to be impossible or whatever. If that happens, ignore the warnings and claim that you're still deciding, but you want both plans on your account to help you decide.

If he's not enrolled yet, he really should be. It'll help keep track of classes and ensure that he's not stuck if they suddenly decide to stop accepting a class that he's already taken. That doesn't happen often, but it can happen.

Once you have a computer science degree, you only need 6 more courses + the capstone BSBA CIS.

An alternative would be to pick up the associates in business admin for free without having to take extra courses.

If you find any errors, let me know.
