TESC credit distribution question - Mamasaphire - 10-01-2008
I would like to get a BS degree from TESC. I know I need to apply & get an unofficial eval of my transcripts, but until then, would any of you be willing to give me your advice & thoughts? I know that I've seen people post "you get what you pay for", and I understand that
TIA!!
First let me say that TESC shouldn't have a problem with my credits, they were all received at a private B&M school that is regionally accredited.
Here is what I am wondering: If the Credit Distribution chart says:
Quote:Note: Students are also required to take BIOLOGY and ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Does that mean I *have* to take a separate biology class? Or could I use a few of my other bio credits (such as BIO141 & BIO142 Human Anat & Phys I&II) to cover both requirements?
Also, does every BS require an economics class, or could I use "Introduction to Business" credits I have to cover that?
Will anthropology fit anywhere like in the Social Science requirement? Or Natural sciences? Or should I not look that far into it?
Again, TIA!

And another question. Does anyone have a suggestion for the
Quote:Social Planning (covers such areas as social policy, planning and administration)? Would FEMA credits cover that at all?
And just thought of this, will the Uexcel Political Science fit in any of the degree categories? I think I have plenty of free electives, so am wondering if I need to take it at all??

When I was filling out my application I discovered that you need to be working/volunteering in a Social Services position to get the degree. I do some volunteer work which I am hoping they'll accept

Sorry, I earned a BA not a BS, so I'm hesitant to make any suggestions.

Ahhh... well, thank you for reading my posts!!! After I get the unofficial results back I'll share what I've learned. Do you know how long it takes after I apply & they get the transcripts before I hear back, or do I need to contact them?

This is just my "uninformed" opinion, being an EC student who's researched TESC and COSC.
You should ask an advisor about the BIO stuff, but I think your existing credits might do it.
Business and related majors require economics classes. Intro to Business is a Business Admin overview class and will not cover that requirement.
My guess is anthropology will fill a social sciences requirement, but you should ask.

Ok thanks!! so I do that after I enroll, or at the time of my unofficial eval?

I am a TESC student who wanted to go for a BS, but none of the comcentrations fit me. I am now going for a BA in natural sciences/Mathmatics. It is hard to answer your questions without knowing what area you want the BS in.

It would be a BSHS = BS in Human Services.
I got an email back that they received my resume and accepted me for that course of study (apparently the Human Services degree programs are harder to get into b/c of the practicums). Now, I don't plan to enroll right away, but it's still exciting, lol!
