TESU - ASNSM in Mathematics

[dharmastudios]

According to the TESU / CLEP equivalency you could CLEP out all the math requirements for the ASNSM in Mathematics

Keep in mind that although the has no Capstone requirement - it does have the TESU required to take with them Cornerstone (SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy) and the residency waiver fee (currently $2800)

Do you have any of the UL math courses already that you'd need for a BA in Mathematics? Or a way to gain them through your ECPI program? if so maybe you can get that BA in Mathematics for just an added TESU Capstone (over the ASNSM) - https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/ba/mathematics

What brought you to enrolling in ECPI for Mechanical Engineering vs enrolling somewhere else that offers a BA/BS in Mathematics?

It's been a very long road for me, and it's something I've wanted to do forever as well. I want that math degree, but I'm in kind of a messed up situation financially at the moment. I was part of a mass layoff from my former employer and took basically a $60k a year pay cut as a consequence. It was time. Now, I'm in an all or nothing state of mind.

For the cost of the ASNSM you're better off doing the BA in Math. Currently with alt credit you can get:

CSM Learn
College Algebra
Precalc/Trig
Geometry
Calculus (6 cr)
Calc II
Discrete Math
Linear Algebra
Concepts in math and Quantative Literacy
Statistics

Plus Statistics.com has some courses that may be used for a math degree.

I was thinking of doing my degree in math from TESU as its very doable. You'll only need to do capstone; cornerstone, Calc III, History of math and one other UL math course from TESU.

I didn't think it was this doable. Maybe I will go for the BA instead. I'm a couple of months off from doing TESU, having realized that I should get through some of the things with ECPI first.  

My thoughts were AS Mechanical Engineering from ECPI,  concurrent with ASNSM math from TESU, and then take those into the BS for Electrical Engineering at Excelsior, so I have basically a mechatronics degree. It puts me into robotics and the EE focus of power generation, which is right where I want to be. I wad thinking 3 years, roughly, to get 2 AS and 1 BS.
