TESC Test Out Plans Starting July 1, 2015

@Sanantone,

Thank you for the response and all you've contributed. I did stumble across that link although it lists pharmacology 1 as a development course? I'm not sure what that means. Do you happen to know?

It means that it is not considered college-level and will not result in the awarding of credit.

I'm sure it would. Thanks for reminding me. Anything that's the equivalent of what TESC has listed as an acceptable course should work. I'm going to add the SL course.



Yes! Thanks for reminding me. Actually, it kind of looks like TESC designed the plan with Torah in mind. TESC also has it listed as a source of credits on the website. The CSU Global CBEs should make the CJ degree more test-friendly.

I think it's worth mentioning that while Tor College Credits is running a special this summer, there is usually a registration fee involved and I think the classes are a little more. I can't remember. With the discounts in place, the 3-credit exams are $170 (which includes the proctor) and are the same price as some of the Excelsior exams.

I put together a plan for the BA CJ for the new requirements (2016). I was guessing on a few courses. Penn Foster would be another source but it depends on ACE recommendations expiration date. Some of the Penn Foster courses are set to expire 9/30/15. The courses are also available via community colleges but would transfer in as LL. I am not sure about criminological theory or criminal justice and public policy. I am guessing on American Juvenile Justice System, it seems similar to Juvenile Delinquency, but TESC seems to accept both.

Thanks for the great information provided everyone, and special thanks to Sanantone for going the extra mile in compiling the new TESC General education options...you're our hero!
One question I do have is if the general education electives (17-20) for TESC are equal to the old free electives, ie. if just about any TESC-accepted credit will do.
Thanks in advance!

You can only use general education courses for general education electives: humanities, mathematics, natural science, and social science. Unlike free electives, you can't use courses in business (unless the business course is cross-listed as COM or PSY), engineering, education, etc. They have to be liberal arts courses.

Appreciate the reply and info Sanantone, will plan accordingly!

Anyone have any new info regarding the oral communication requirement? I'm not liking the looks of the DSST test.

Hello Everyone,

This board is great. Thanks for all the ideas and encouragement.

I applied to TESC a few days ago and I kinda want to have my ducks all in a row before I talk to a counselor. Any chance one of you TESC gurus can look over my degree plan for a BSBA-Management Degree?

Thank you in advance.

Just ran into an issue with my BSBA plan. I had taken the DSST "Business Ethics in Society" thinking that it would fulfill the "Business in Society or International Management" at TESC, but they just informed me that it no longer does (they now consider it Business Ethics and not Business in Society), so now I basically took a useless exam and am stuck taking another essay-based TECEP before I can graduate.

Hey. I'm new here, but I would really like some help constructing a plan to get the ASNSM in Computer Science from TESC.

I am employed in an organization that offers a lucrative, and career changing, option for those who posses an Associate's degree. As such I would like to complete all the requirements for one as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the opportunity before it is too late.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
