My Technical Studies Degree Plan

[SRES]

1) fastest would probably be SL for physics 1+lab or ed4credit for chem 1 + lab. Fastest physics 2 lab or chem 2 lab may be TESU @ 6 weeks.
2) study.com waiver for cornerstone is no longer available
3)not sure
4) realistic? No. The capstone is 3 months Long and we're 4 months away from your completion goal but it is possible.
5) yes, you would have to sign up asap.
6) I'm not aware of a way around that.

Thanks! I'll look into those the SL physics+lab and ed4credit  chem1+lab courses. It looks like there is an APS-401 capstone class starting this Monday that would finish up November 18th. Thanks for your help!

You'd be looking at a March graduation at the earliest, the last capstone class for December graduation has already started (August). https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/gr...nformation

Although I do not have personal knowledge of them, often recommended here is Rio Salado College. They do offer both Chem I w/lab and Chem II w/lab and would likely be the quickest because they offer (near) monthly starts and 8 week programs. They offer Physics I & II but no labs (which are required so they do not work for the Physics option) http://www.riosalado.edu

You will need to have TESU do an official evaluation for you. You do have many credits that fall into your AOS, but they all appear to be LL (100/200).  You won't know what you're truly missing until the official evaluation is complete and that can take weeks (have heard up to 6 weeks in some cases, although within 4 is normal), so don't delay in applying and sending them all your transcripts.

The cornerstone can no longer be waived (at all, now required)

Since you have a few months before the last capstone course starts for your earlisst graduation option I would wait until you have the official TESU evaluation - you may rethink your BS Tech Studies plan depending on what you'll need and switch to another program - which would require a completely difference Capstone course (it happens here all the time, people start with the BS Tech Studies and switch to a different degree path due to needing expensive UL courses to back fill and getting those specific science with labs)

Thanks for the info on Rio Salado! I'll definitely check it out. TESU has done an official evaluation of my community college credits, but it was for a degree in biomedical electronics.  When I logon to look at my evaluation, there is a box that says, "What if I change my program of study?". When I select the "technical studies" degree, it says my AOS is complete except for project management and my capstone. 

Now that I look closer, I see it says they need to be 300/400 level courses, so is it a mistake that these classes got placed there? I attached a screenshot for your reference.

Thank you for your help. Any other feedback is greatly appreciated!

Did I miss the 12 UL credits you need in the AOS? (18 total, minus 6 for Capstone and Project Management).

I got an official evaluation done for a degree in biomedical electronics, but I was looking for something that would accept more of my credits. When I logon to look at my evaluation, there is a box that says, "What if I change my program of study?". When I select the "technical studies" degree, it says my AOS is complete except for project management and my capstone. Did these classes get put in there by mistake? I have attached a sceenshot. Thank you.
