Thanks everyone for all the help!
So this is what I've done so far:
1. passed the Institutes Ethics 312 course with a 70%
2. registered for ACE and transferred the course(waiting on confirmation though)
3. applied with TESU for the BA in Liberal Studies(I can confirm that it is 12 months from time of application to when you need to officially enroll)
4. paid for my transcripts from both college and community college to be sent separately to TESU
Now I am just anxiously waiting to hear from TESU. In the meantime, I have been trying to educate myself through these forums but some questions have popped up. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
1. The Ethics 312 course I took is only 2 credits. How does that fit into the 3 credit Ethics requirement from TESU? I read about some waiver thing to convince TESU to accept it as 3 credits. How does that work?
2. I'm still a little confused as to which courses I can actually take in order to fulfill my area of study in Liberal Studies. I have looked at the DSST website and there are 6 categories. dfrecore mentioned that I can take any courses other than Business. I see a section on DSST that says "techonology". Is that an acceptable course in Liberal Studies?
3. Follow up question: On the same DSST website, some courses say something like "3 Baccalaureate" or "3 Upper Baccalaureate". Is that the same thing as Lower Level courses vs Upper level courses? Because I was under the impression that certain courses like Intro to World Religions was an Upper Level course? But on the DSST site it doesn't say "3 Upper Baccalaureate", just "3 Baccalaureate". Can anyone clear that up for me?
Just to recap what I think I need based on everyone's help on this board:
TESU BA Liberal Studies
1. Info Lit Requirement(will probably take CLEP A&I Literature)
2. 5 Upper Level courses
3. Capstone
Thanks for all the help!
