I'm not sure what's different. But they added new stuff.

Hmm, the main difference appears to be that they are now offering certain GenEd courses with included textbooks and other materials. That doesn't really apply for those who are predominately transferring in their GE courses, but saves some money for students taking direct courses.
Beyond that it looks like they just expanded the list of TESU courses listed under GenEd... probably to more closely model their current course list.

Is this new, "Some courses can be used to satisfy requirements in more than one category but each course may only be used once in a degree." Is this the same things offered by COSC where, for example, if you take World Religions it would count as your diversity and humanities requirement but yo still only get 3 credits?

Oh, that makes sense. Bummer, though. I'm ready for a good change at TESU.

Does this mean that SOS-110 is the only thing that can be used for Information Literacy now?

It means that is the only InfoLit course offered by TESU.
RE: TESU new Gen Eds - dfrecore - 03-10-2019
It doesn't look like anything has changed - except the Info Lit requirement.
They STILL haven't fixed the Written Comm requirement, and removed Technical Writing - even though they've said multiple times that it can't be used as one of the requirements (it's been like 3 years).
