TESU - Easy RA Credits - Paperplanes - 09-21-2025
I'm back!! Thanks for all the help and guidance on this forum, its very helpful.
I saw a post where someone is looking to complete a Associate at TESU while doing the Bachelor in the future. I am thinking of doing a similar thing. I don't have RA credits so I would need 15 RA credits for the Associate and 30 for the bachelors.
I'm looking for guidance on how to obtain these. I've been looking at TECEPs, TEL, and UMPI. My game plan was to get all the harder classes in and complete the LL or somewhat easier classes at TESU. (Does that make sense?). For better understanding here's the remaining courses I need. I might be missing one.
English Composition I
English Composition II
COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOC-1010: Introduction to Sociology
Introduction to Psychology
SOS-110 Information Literacy
BUS-421 Business Administration Capstone
PHI-130 Introduction to Critical Reasoning - Transfer but I should take this for RA
GOG-230 World Geography - Maybe I could take this.
If anyone knows of a way to get RA credits fast, I am open to suggestions. Since most of these could also be completed at Sophia. Or should I stick to my original plan and complete these classes at TESU

At this moment in time, I would decide on which degree and institution you're going with, TESU, UMPI or another. I suggest completing an AALS at UMPI on your route to the BA of your choice, or another option that they'll be coming out with soon...
You may want to use TEL as you intended previously: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-TEL-Learning-MACU
Make sure to review what your end goal is, the Bachelors. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Bachelor-Degree-without-RA--49789

I choose TESU BS information system. I’ve done my evaluation and have 30 credits outstanding. I’ve listed the ones I can recall outstanding but I will double check all the information.
Would you recommend using TEL for the missing credits? Since I need RA credits or TESU, which one is typically easier?

Hmm, for me, I would go for a triple degree for the price of one and the same amount of work for one degree... but that's just me who wants to things differently. Do the UMPI BBA PM & IS in two sessions, add the AALS as a freebie and forget it, once you finish the BBA PM & IS, you've got that freebie complete. Come back to UMPI for the BA Comp Science, finish this in two sessions. Total: $1800x4=$7200 for three degrees and you can add the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL.. The TESU BACS would rack up to the same costs just by itself!
