New User Looking For Bachelors Degree Advice

A BA in Math from TESU might be a good fit, in that you have all of the required/elective math credits - BUT that is only if at least 5 of the math courses are UL.  If not, then you would have to figure out where to get UL math credits, and after 20 years, it might be difficult (and maybe you've forgotten a lot in 20 years!).

If you don't have enough UL credits, then I would suggest that you get the TESU BALS, and get 5 UL courses in whatever you want on the SocSci/Humanities areas - Psych, History, & Lit are the easiest/cheapest here.

So tell me which of these courses was considered UL (Junior/Senior level courses), and I can do a plan for you.

Yeah, I originally thought math was the best bet too.  I have forgotten a whole lot in the last 20 years.  Dementia coupled with senility have already started to set in.  What were we talking about? Oh yeah...

I am not sure completely what UL classes are, but based on one of the other replies, I expect it means classes taken at UCF.  All of the other classes are from Florida Gateway College (Lake City Community College when I went there), MidFlorida Tech, and Seminole State College.  The ones I took at UCF are as follows (to the far right is the grade, assuming a D may have an effect on the transfer of credits. The rest are somewhere between A and C):

MAP 4363            Applied Boundary Value 1                            3             
MAS 3105            Matrix Linear Algebra                                     4              D
MHF 2300            Logic and Proof Math                                     3             
STA 2023              Statistical Methods                                         3             
COP 3502C          Computer Science 1                                        3              D
ENC 3310             Magazine Writing                                             3             
MAP 4103            Math Modeling 1                                             3             
MAP 4364            Applied Boundary Value 2                            3             

Thanks again.  This is a huge help!!!

UL means upper level. These are usually classes taken in the junior or senior year. At most schools, they are coded as 3XX and 4XX or 3XXX and 4XXX. There are other numbering systems, but it does not look like the schools you attended used those.

It looks like you have six UL courses, but two of them are definitely not in math. Computer Science might be downgraded to lower level, but you couldn't use it toward the math major anyway.

Got it.  Will they take classes that I got a D in? And since I took Calc 1, 2, 3, and Differential Equations at a community college, they wont count towards my degree? The TESU list of required courses for the degree are exactly what I already have.  In fact, depending on how they translate the electives, it looks like I might have all but one or two classes to complete my degree (if they were to accept these comm coll courses for credit towards the required bachelors courses).
