Straighterline and TESC question

[FilMor]

Let's say a person was to complete every single Straighterline course that could potentially transfer to Tesc.

The list is here,
Transfer College Credits To Thomas Edison State College (TESC) - StraighterLine

Which degree could utilize all this credits for the fastest competition of a Bachelors?

With that mix of classes you could go so many different ways with it. With the mix of business credits in there you would have to do the BSBA (easiest being General Management) to use those credits effectively, otherwise on a BA such as Liberal Studies those courses in business would only be free electives. Also note that some of those are likely to duplicate (such as a lab and non-lab version of the same course [some show the same course code too]). You should also note that Pharmacology I and II are both "DEV" courses with numbers 001 and 002, neither of these is worth college credit of any kind at TESC.

Based on the credits in your signature, you should look at the business degree (BSBA in General Management is the one most people on here seem to do) since you have plenty of free electives already and you'd basically throw away courses like ACCT I and ACCT I if you did a BA. You may also want to look at completing the AAS in Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies while you finish the four year. That two year degree allows you to fill the entire area of study with FEMA courses (they have to be the ones TESC takes, not necessarily the ones you got credit with FCC on).

Thank you

Can I just go for the AAS now and then apply all the credits from this degree into a Bachelors degree afterwards?

You can do them both at the same time. I initially signed up for a BA in English and then a month or so later talked to an academic advisor & asked her to add the AAS to my profile & it was done in a few minutes. The only reason I waited was because I didn't know about the AAS when I applied to TESC or I would have done it then. I found out about it from this awesome forum.

Tesc charges the student a graduation fee for the AAS even if your ultimate goal is a BA\BS?

You will have to pay for the graduation fee on each degree, but for a few hundred bucks in grad fees you get a bonus degree and all of the credits are usable on the BA or BS (the overlap rule with credits only applies when getting a second degree of the same type [two or four year]).

It's my understanding that every time you file for graduation you must pay the graduation fee. If you're not urgently needing your 2 year degree, and money is tight, then you could just wait till you're done both programs and graduate from both at the same time (and pay one graduation fee).

from what I understand, you can't graduate with two degrees (bachelors) at the same time. Can anyone confirm that? The wording in myEdison helpdesk sounds like you can't...as well, if you wanted to do a second bachelors, they require you to have at least 24 credits completed AFTER you finish your first degree, in order for it to be granted.

I don't know about the dual bachelor's but I had an advisement call with TESC a couple weeks ago. She suggested I add an ASAB in addition to my BSBA and told me I could file for graduation at the same time for both.

Hi Everyone, If I get a D in a straighterline course that is NOT in my area of study, example GE course. Will TESC still accept it? I read that because of ACE everything has to be 70% to transfer? I know TESC accepts Ds from other places but not sure about ACE/Straighterline
