Quickest diversity, Civic, and Ethics classes/tests to fulfill TESC degree? - Peter123456789 - 12-13-2015

For the diversity requirement I found intro to sociology to be easy. It's available as TECEP, CLEP, SL.
Quickest diversity, Civic, and Ethics classes/tests to fulfill TESC degree? - dfrecore - 12-13-2015
Diversity: Sociology is probably considered the easiest, SL, CLEP, TECEP
Civic: American Gov is the only test available, CLEP, SL
Ethics: Environmental Ethics TECEP, Business Ethics DSST or SL, Ethics in America DSST
If you're looking to get your degree from TESC and need TECEP's, I suggest taking those when available, especially if they're multiple choice.

TESC just posted this for me:
Ethics (DEGREE REQUIREMENT) (Completed)
Src Course # Title S.H. Grd TESC # Notes
2.. PHI-287... Ethics in America........ 3.00 CR PHI-287 *NE
TESC does not use the KISS principle that EC and COSC does.

So far I am not impressed with TESC. Still waiting on COSC and EC academic evaluations.

Thanks a lot for this feedback all. I do not have any TECEP's yet. Are there many upper level TECEPS? I am already at 92 credits (with 10 TECEP's needed?).

The TECEPs can be used to satisfy the residency credit requirement for the pay per credit plan. The pay per credit plan requires 24 residency credits which can be satisfied with 7 or 8 TECEPs depending on if a capstone course is required to be completed at TESC. 7 TECEPs for BA, 8 TECEPs for BSBA. The TECEPs cost $111 per exam. The TECEPS do not have to fit in your degree plan, you can choose any TECEP you want, but it is recommended to choose ones that will satisfy degree requirements.

Be careful about your TESC ethics course. While it's clear that the DSST Business Ethics and Society TE's to Bus 302, it may not be counted as a Gen-Ed since Bus is not a Liberal Arts subject. Check with your advisor. The environmental Tecep ethics will work if you don't have an advisor yet to look at other options.

A TESC advisor told me that business ethics will satisfy the requirement, they consider it to be philosophy course. I think other students have used it.

If you're a BSBA, they actually recommend that you take a Business Ethics course to satisfy the Ethics requirement (rather than just any Ethics course), but they will accept any Ethics course.
