Does anyone have a list of upper class for BA natural science math??
I'm currently taking :
general biology II <--- 100 course
Principle of human nutrition <--- 200 course? bio 208?
microbiology <-- i saw that this is 300 course????
liberal art capstone <-- is this 400 course??
please help.

I'm afraid you're out of options for UL credits by CLEP, DSST, ECE and TECEP, with the possible exception of the following:
Pathophysiology (354)
Check out some of the other options listed in these threads:

You have to verify how TESC will transcribe these tests.

Here are 2:
MIS DSST
Network Tech TECEP
If you like computers you can take these 2 more computer courses at TESC to fulfill the 12cr requirement.

Oooh! Good catch! I didn't even think about computer science courses for this degree! Sure enough:
"The following areas are considered natural sciences/mathematics and may be used as a subject area in the concentration: biology, computer science, geology, physics, chemistry, environmental science, mathematics."
Thomas Edison State College: Natural Sciences/Mathematics
Not sure what else the OP can do exam-wise so I guess that just leaves taking courses for the rest.

3 UL credits will come from the Liberal Arts capstone, OP, you are correct about that.
What about Ohio University exams? They used to have some UL options in biology and mathematics.
EDIT: isn't there a Microbiology ECE exam, or am I mistaken about that?
Tesc BA Natural Science Math (Upper credit) - Sora - 12-27-2012
Thank you for the respone.
Since taking exam is out of the question.
I should take couple more upper class from my cc.(biology)
And I do like the idea on the cis.
I just need 22 credit more to get my bachelor.
With the current course I'm taking, it just leave me with 2 or 3 more course. (Depedning on how tesc assigns them)
Any other feedback will be appreciate.
Thank you again

Obviously, no one is reading my thread. I already listed the ECE for Microbiology, DSST MIS, and the TECEP for Networking. Why did I spend hours trying to help people if they aren't even going to bother with reading the thread?
IrishJohn:
I listed a ton of science tests that could possibly be transcribed as UL in the thread I linked to! Forget it. I might as well ask Shoto to delete the whole thing. I'll just make plans for myself from now on.
I can understand if someone just didn't click on the link, but some of the people here are already aware of the thread.

Having a bad day? Relax. We're here to help others the best we can, not stress out over things. People are going to miss threads or forget about them when posting quick responses - especially late at night. This particular major is outside of my experience so I'm not going to be as knowledgeable of all of the options out there. However, I did actually look at what you had in that thread for this degree last night but saw your comment of "question marks on all of these" for the 300/400 level, to which I didn't know the answer myself so wasn't going to steer someone towards an unknown like that. Besides, I also saw your link above so figured that was enough.
As I suggested before, given how threads are overlooked and get old really fast here you may wish to post these sample degree plans at Degree Forum Wiki so they're more easily accessible. You could add a link in your signature line directly to the page for TESC Degree Plans and point people to it who are asking questions this would help.

A lot of people don't read the Wiki either and it's not exactly easy to navigate for someone who is a complete newbie. That's why we still get questions on here that are answered in the wiki. My thread won't be lost if it's made into a sticky. I doubt people would even bother to read my signature. No one has confirmed that the network TECEP is counted as computer science. If they can, they can give feedback in the thread.
