of course they are non-credit, but they may help with your understanding
make sure you sign up for the free version -- its exactly like the paid version except you don't get a certificate
Thank you! I'll definitely look into those free courses.

The other, and louder, one is: An AA is an AA and one from TESU should serve you just fine, and once you get your BA it REALLY won't matter where you got it.
There's really no wrong answer here. Do what makes you happiest, not what you think you HAVE to do. One question I have, though. Do you have enough credits (12, I think) at TESU for the residency requirement? If not, it could turn into an expensive choice to finish your AA there.
I agree with both of your trains of thought. Very good point about cost. No, I do not have residency credits right now. For my BA.SS I am hoping to PLA/portfolio 18 credits, which along with the TESU PLA courses and the Capstone should make 24 credits and fulfill the residency requirement (I looked into TECEPS and decided not to do them, especially as so many of the non-business/math now have multiple essays included). So I would have to wait and apply to graduate with a TESU AA next year some time at the rate I am going, while the CC AA could theoretically be conferred in December (the Capstone has to be taken alone), or in September if I somehow get ACE stats credits accepted.
