I may decide to complete this and use it to transfer into a graduate degree while fulfilling a second bachelors at the Big 3. Cookderosa once suggested doing reverse transfers.
you can for sure do reverse transfer- I think even if TESU called it upper level, it would be fine. You just need your grad school to count it as grad level! I have never looked into the school, so I'm not familiar with their numbering - it caught me off guard ( seriously, 99% of the college world is doing one way so they'll go ahead and do it another?) But I think you'd be fine at TESU either way - 400 level or graduate.
EDIT to add: the reason I have a bee in my bonnet about this is because I worked for a very very nice man- great boss- at the community college back in the 90's. My wonderful boss (who didn't have a degree, so sometimes flubbed up on academic type things) asked me to teach a "new" class he just developed for hospitality program. (program was brand new without a dept chair- so he was winging it) It was the inaugural offering, I'm honored - happy to help. The class was Hospitality Management HCM5XX (HCM=Hospitality Culinary Management)
I brought the course development module to him, and said there was a mistake, this course number was 5-something (we are a community college - so, 100/200) and he had no idea what I was talking about. I asked what he used to write the course, he said he pulled a course from another college and used it. <cough-copied-cough> Of course he used a course description from an MBA course, and no one would have known except when he submitted the number, he kept the number being used by the MBA program. Oops. I taught that stupid "500 level" course at least 4 times, but I leave it off my resume because it's makes it look like my employer was an idiot (which doesn't reflect well on me lol). The issue is that you can't just change course numbers, it requires a HUGE approval process, so we were stuck with that number for years. We did a full program revision a few years later, and it was assigned a proper number.
