BA CS and BA biology at Tesu - Sarahtheraven - 02-08-2023
Out of curiousity is it possible to do both biology and Cs at Tesu with only one capstone project?
Currently I am working towards the CS degree which I will complete (everything including capstone for CS) in June is it possible to then take the requirements for BA biology and use the CS capstone to get a biology degree.
I do have biology credits and will only need to do the organic chems and bio with lab and maybe be take 2-3 UL classes

Yes, if you graduate with both at the same time, you will only need a single capstone. I would get the Biology degree added to your plan now, just in case you do decide you want it.

Since they're from the same "school" (the Heavin School of Arts & Sciences), then it's the same capstone - I don't even think it has to be CS or Bio related either (the capstone paper).

Just curious - Are you following the WIKI for recommendations? What/where are you going to take the remaining courses?

I am also curious about this if I wanted a second degree do I have to pay the residency waiver twice?

If you graduate with both at the same time: NO.
If you graduate with one and then come back to the other: YES. If you do this, there are also more complicated rules. It's easier to get two degrees at once than it is to do two degrees one after another.

It really depends on the person and their budget, energy, time. There are people who pay the extra graduation fee, but no the residency fee. Some like to graduate their Associates before their Bachelors (and certs or another associates), the first Bachelors residency waiver is already paid for if you decide to get the Bachelors later. You can add the second Bachelors then and graduate at the same time, you'll just pay for an additional graduation fee for those two bachelors.

I see, I was thinking you had some other classes already completed for Biology outside of the alternative credits on the WIKI. Cool, if you have the energy, money, and time to complete the two majors, go for it! As an alternative, you can always go for a BA CS and AS Biology/Math combo instead if you have too many commitments or if 'life happens'.
