Getting back into the swing of things...TESC related - JBS - 04-08-2015
I've researched TESC time and time again on this forum but was never quite ready to start. I'm now ready to take the plunge, but I'm completely unaware how things work now at TESC. Any major changes since early 2014? Any new requirements? I've had my credits evaluated in 2013 (48 accepted) but I'm pretty sure it's no good anymore. After having them re-evaluated, what should be my next step? I'm aiming for a Social Science degree. I apologize in advance if I'm asking a question that already been addressed.

I don't think much has changed. I know all community college credits are lower level now. I know you will have to reapply and get reevaluated. Once you get your academic evaluation just start knocking out courses or credit by exam.

Thanks for responding! So after the credit eval, I should start taking tests and THEN enroll and complete the capstone?

You can do that or enroll in the pay per credit plan and utilize TECEP's to fulfill the residency requirement. I believe you only have 6 months before you have to enroll if you opt to not do the pay per credit plan. The pay per credit plan will be cheaper if you utilize TECEP's.

Take a look at the new degree plan. Thomas Edison State College: Social Sciences
At one time the ethics course was strongly suggested, now it's required. Under the Personal & Social Responsibility section:
- DSST Ethics in America / Straigherline (SL) Business Ethics fills the Ethics slot.
- CLEP or SL Intro to Sociology and SL Cultural Anthropology or Intro to Religion fill the Diversity slots.
Area of Study:
You could then use TECEPs PSY270 Psychology of Women, SOC210 Marriage & the Family, and PSY350 Abnormal Psychology in the Area of Study. Also, consider using TECEPs POS-101 Introduction to Political Science and POS-282 Introduction to Comparative Politics.
Thomas Edison State College: All TECEP® Tests
Are you using financial aid? If not, take a look at the new Pay Per Credit Tuition Plan. The thread is linked in my signature. In my post I also list recommended TECEPs. You can use 7 TECEPs and the capstone to complete degree for less than the enrolled options plan.
Good luck!

Thanks so much again for all the help. The pay per credit plan is looking pretty good, but I still need a little more clarity. Can the degree be completed using only TECEPs/Capstone or will I still need tests from outside sources to go along with them? Like I mentioned before, TESC previously evaluated my transcripts and accepted 48 of my credits.
