help with general education requirements - takamura - 10-28-2020

HI everyone I'm new in this forum I'm from tunisia in TESU the general education requirements can be filled from sophia? I asked them they said they will call but no one called me I searched on the site and found https://www.tesu.edu/alpa/bsast-degree-in-aviation-flight-technology is it the same for all bachelors degrees like the BA in CS or ? and thank you very much.

Welcome to the forum!

You can fulfill all of your GE requirements at TESU with Sophia courses EXCEPT for the "Civic Engagement" requirement. The GE requirements are essentially the same for all bachelor's degrees. The difference is the sociology or philosophy degrees where you need to find different courses for the sociology and philosophy slots because sociology 101 or philosophy 101 are used in the main portion (Area of Study) for the degree.

If you want the CS degree, go ahead and take everything at Sophia but NOT the Foundations courses or College Readiness.
