Liberal Studies from TESU to graduate with my daughter - cljrmccoy - 03-24-2026
I'm borrowing the login my daughter was using when she was working on her degree plan. Here's my info:
Your Location: California
Your Age: 48
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor - not picky on the major
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 63
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 34 (WGU - not sure if this fits in this category or not?)
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: I don't want to throw money away, but this isn't a concern
Commitments: I work FT from home, homeschool my kids, and am pretty busy, in general
Dedicated time to study: not a ton
Timeline: 1 year - to graduate with my daughter
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: n/a
My daughter (senior) has been working through her degree plan and should be graduating next year. I'd love to join her and I think I only have a few classes left. Here's my plan, but I'm open to any advice because I'm not sure what level the WGU classes will transfer as? Any thoughts?

Welcome to the board, great info to get the ball rolling. You need to apply to TESU and see where the credits go. Basically, once you have all the credits come in, update us with what is remaining. Just wondering, have you thought about UMPI and their BLS, the price would be about the same if you finish in 3 sessions?

I second this. I prefer ten courses at UMPI, compared to the TESU capstone all by itself. However, if your daughter is graduating from TESU and you want to graduate/walk in the commencement with her, and she with you, then that is priceless. Either way you decide, best of luck!

I'd love to hear your reasoning for suggesting UMPI. I haven't really looked into it, so I'd love more information about the differences.
