Using Electives to help with a 2nd degree TESU - airricklee - 11-11-2016

Can you use your electives from your first degree to help fulfill the requirements on the second degree at TESU?

For instance if you have BSBA in Computer Information Systems from tesu then you are trying to get your BA in History at tesu.
If you took Civ I Civ II as electives for the first degree would that meet the required courses for the history BA? Does it work the same for the electives? If I took DSST history of the soviet union for my first degree can I then use it to fill the UL electives under the history BA?

Also, In the BSBA CIS for example Algebra is required for the degree does that fill the GE requirements for math as well?

Thanks for the help, Couldn't find this information exactly.

I don't know the answer to this question, but TESU will evaluate the transcript for free for a second degree for TESU grads.

They will apply just fine. But it may not be wise to do, as you need another 24 credits in your area of study. So that would make it more difficult to obtain.

When earning a second degree you have to have 24 new credits in the AOS. The new credits have to be completed after the first degree is awarded. So if you wanted to do a BA in history you would have to wait until you graduate with the BSBA before you could start doing the history courses.
