Just Finished at Excelsior! BS Liberal Arts. Need guidance for the next degree
#1
I just received the Excelsior notification that I have met all the degree requirements for a BS LA. I had to take 5 weeks leave of absence from work in order to complete the LA Capstone. I could not perform at a high level at both! The final power point presentation needed voice over, animation and insertion of movie clips. This while completing the daily course work. We lost 20 students over the 8 weeks.

Now for the next phase. The BS LA is not an attractive degree to employers for a person who has a heavy engineering background and course work. I was reviewing the TESC BA in Natural Science and Mathematics and it looks like I have all the requirements with the exception of Information literacy and diversity (Junk Courses). I had my transcripts from Excelsior sent to TESC prior to completing the Capstone. This degree title is more palatable to employers for me. The other degree is a BS in Technical Studies but I have to take a Project Management course as well as the two listed above.

My Questions are.

Will TESC grant this degree? They don't know I just got my Excelsior BS LA, and I don't know why it would matter.
Will TESC allow the Diversity Requirement to be met by the Excelsior Liberal Arts Capstone?

I want to fix this degree issue before I go on and complete a MBA. I would appreciate any advice on this issue.

Many Thanks!
