Help me fill degree requirements TESU BS NEET

[MNomadic]

I've kept putting off updating my status here....

@dfrecore, I forgot to thankyou for that spreadsheet, I did later adapt it to my needs

@davewill the excelsior and TESU nuc engineering technology degrees were designed for enlisted navy nukes. It wouldn't make sense for for officers to get a BS when they already had a BS. Unless they went from an enlisted nuke to commissioned officer(oftentimes referred to as a mustang) without getting a degree, in which case they would still have about the same AOS credits as a regular enlisted. I actually would already have all the AOS complete with the TESU NET, but that didn't have ABET accredidation, so I switched to the NEET(kind of a deceptive bait and switch on TESU's part) so that's why I have a few extra classes to do...

@BJcheung thank you for that suggestion! This is the first I'd seen it. I will probably stick with the BS NEET because of the ABET. Although, with the technical studies route, I would only need extra the capstone, project management and computer applications.( I know I can do those 2 pretty easily through CLEP) so it's good to have options!

@armstrong

yes I have looked at the comprehensive plan at TESU, it is still something I'm considering if I get some scholarships

I already used that "study.com nonsense" for free using the guardian scholarship(I originally posted this thread in feb and have since finished most of what I needed)

"3 cr English 102 (study.com english 105), (do SL English Comp II as well.)" just curious but why should I do english comp 2 again?


"3 cr Mat 231 (calc 1) (study.com math 104), (redo Calc I at SL or Saylor, WARNING if being done at SL use external sources)" again, why should I redo calc 1? I know SDC isn't up to your standards(mine either, which is why I did the majority of my learning using other sources), but your recommendation to take it via SL but then use different sources seems rather redundant since I would be once again using external sources to study for a class that I have already gained credit in. I am currently reviewing calc 1 in order to take calc 2(since I finished calc 1 several months ago) but I already learned the core of the material. Also, I already had a decent exposure to calc 1 from my navy training, but those classes were 6 years ago...

already have the other gen eds done or planned but thank you for the suggestions!

physics 1 and 2 are already done via the navy as well. just needed the labs

again, already have real calc 1 experience, I just used study.com as a way to get credit for it for free with my guardian scholarship. 

Programming I'm working on through onlinedegree.com. if they don't accept it, SL C++ is my backup





My current plan involves my taking 16 credits through TESU using my GI Bill in 2 terms so I should still have plenty of gi bill benefits left over for graduate school later. I would do phy 1 and chem 1 lab through SL/ed4credit but wanted to hit 16 credit residency requirement.

3 cr DC circuits
3 cr instumentation(turns out I only needed 1 class here, I was misreading it before)
1 cr physics 1 lab
1 cr chem lab
( I got them to accept one of my other transfer courses in place of radiation effects after I appealed, though they didn't accept my electrical theory transfer even after I appealed)

1 cr physics 2 lab
3 cr assessment
4 cr capstone

I'll make a new post after my academic advising appointment this week when I confirm everything about my plan. I may add a few more cleps and cheap courses here and there to add an ASBA and maybe one of the ASNSMs if I have extra time. Also, In the off chance that I do get some scholarships that I applied for, then I may be able to switch to comprehensive annual tuition and add a second major.

I attached my spreadsheet that should show everything I have completed and have planned so far...
