TESU BA ENGLISH, Help with final courses, please! Eval included. - ricohh - 11-20-2018
Hello all,
I need to finish this degree ASAP so please let me know if I am going about this the right way.
Regarding my evaluation are any of my "other" courses really not eligible for any of the missing criteria that I currently have?
I wish to utilize study.com as much as possible but regarding this degree what classes can I take?
These are the classes that I am missing to my knowledge, if I forgot anything please let me know or if you have any advice of any kind. My main goal is to graduate ASAP and teach English abroad in Korea. I want to take as many classes with Study.com. Please help me out!

- Civic Engangement 3 SH - Political Science 102: American Government [Study.com]
- TES - 100 SH - How can this be waived through the affiliate program [Is this option also available still?]

I can't address the bulk of the BA English requirements, but I can offer the following:
The Institutes Ethics course (Ethics 312N-H) is still ACE recommended through 1/31/2019, however, it is 2 sh not 3 sh.
TES-100 can no longer be waived. It must be taken before 7/1/2019 or you'll have to pay for a full 12-week course instead of the current 2-hour one for $300. I recommend getting this out of the way early since it will enroll you and ensure you have access to academic advising for additional academic evaluations and to plan other credits.

1. Yes, Institutes is still a valid option. There are also Study.com options if you prefer to pay to use their format instead of Institutes.
2. American Government will work for Civic Engagement
3. Cornerstone can no longer be waived.
4. Study.com's English 102: American Literature should count for LIT-205. If CLEP is an option for you, the American Literature CLEP will knock out LIT-205 and LIT-206
5. Study.com's English 103: Analyzing and Interpreting Literature should work for that category. If CLEP is an option, lots of people have passed the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP cold. Would also give you three extra credits to use in the AoS electives, if you have a spot for a LL class there.
6. Study.com's English 305: Advanced Technical Writing should give you an UL Area of Study elective. You could also use their English 101: English Literature or English 310: Short Stories for a lower level elective

i'm currently completing an English BA at TESU and your biggest problem is going to be finding something to fit into that non-western lit course. i ended up taking african encounters from TESU directly
your 2nd biggest problem is going to be finding enough UL credits, you need 4 courses. Coopersmith will give you 1, and Study.com will give you 1, but you'll need 2 more from somewhere. Tbh TESU may be your best bet there too.
your 3rd biggest problem will be fulfilling American Lit 2. Coopersmith offers it, or you can CLEP it.
Other than that you shouldn't have any problems at all. I can confirm personally that the 2 credit Institutes course will fulfill your Ethics requirement and American Government will fulfill the Civics requirement

Does your degree have to be in English? Most of the time to teach abroad, you can have any kind of degree.

I appreciate the input! It seems like I can't get around TES-100 as I had hoped but I'll work on both courses right away. Thanks for your help!

Regarding #5, that LL class would be in Group 2 correct?
