RA Requirement - Associates and Bachelor?

[glancing7924]

I'm pursuing a BA in Computer Science and have 25 RA credits, but they are all electives. I'm also interested in getting an ASNS in Mathematics, but since the ASNS only allows 3 electives, most of my RA credits wouldn’t count. Does this mean I can't pursue the ASNS without taking additional Math RA credits, which are more expensive? Or is there an exception since I am pursuing the BA?

Thank you in advanced for your help.

The ACE/NCCRS credit limit for the associates is 45 credits, so 15 credits need to be RA, but not necessarily at TESU.

If you are doing the 15 credit term at TESU to avoid, some of your RA credits from either the CS AOS or from a couple of the easier courses would likely apply to your associates degree's AOS or general education, so that might address your concern. Difficult to tell without more detail about what classes you already have and what you are planning to take. The RA credits don't have to be Math credits per se.

Thank you for the idea. I will take Information Literacy, and 3 Additional Computer Science classes at TESU. The final 3 credits would be from my already obtained RA credits. That would meet the RA requirements for the associates.

Example - the SOS-1100 class will carry over into both your bachelors and associates. If you did CIS-3510 for the CS degree, that would go into your Add'l AOS Elect section of the math degree. If you did ART-1000 (World of Art) and GOG-2300 (World Geography) as "easy" courses, they would fill in a couple of general education slots, while your capstone or some other RA elective credits would go into the Electives. That would bring you to 15 RA credits in the associates and you could transfer in the other 45 credits from ACE/NCCRS sources.

As part of your flat-rate 15 credit term, you could take these courses:

SOS-1100 (GE course)
Capstone (elective)
Introduction to Critical Reasoning (GE course)
Software Engineering (AOS course)

Then find one more course that will fit in the AS Math degree.  (you only need 15 RA credits for this degree)

In other words, you're just getting 15 credits residency from TESU, using those for the Associates and repurposing them for the Bachelors...
