BS/BA Options for Military with Only Test/Transfer Credits?
#4
The BSBA CIS program is great. There's also Excelsior though, they have several IT programs as well. Personally I'm not interested in their tracks and they didn't want to give me nearly as much credit for my CCAF as TESC did, but they may be a good fit for you. I think costs between the two are similar but I'm not an expert on that.

I also forgot about this very important requirement at TESC.

Quote:Second Associate or Bachelor’s Degrees

The following criteria are for students who have received
one associate degree at Thomas Edison State College or
another regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a
second associate degree, or if they have received one
bachelor’s degree at Thomas Edison State College or another
regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a second
bachelor’s degree:

1. Students must complete a minimum of 15 additional
credits for a second associate degree and 30 additional
credits for a second bachelor’s degree beyond the date all
prior degrees were completed.


2. Students must select an option which is significantly
different from their previous degree(s).

3. Students must complete all requirements for the degree
as listed in the current Thomas Edison State College
Catalog.

4. Course work used to fulfill requirements for a previous
associate degree major or any other undergraduate,
advanced or professional degrees may not be used to
fulfill requirements for the second associate degree
option or a second bachelor’s degree area of study. The
College will not award a third bachelor’s degree.

HOWEVER, your CCAF may fill that 30 credits up since those credits all came after your BS was awarded. If it's not enough credits for some reason then you may only need a few FEMAs or CLEPs to fill in the remainder.

You should call them and ask about that $75 fee. My understanding is that you send in all of your transcripts to be evaluated together under the one fee. I only had the CCAF to send in when I paid the fee so it was simple for me.
