What Constitutes Liberal Arts at TESU

[dfrecore]

Yes, at TESU, this is the case. They will also take many CompSci (CIS/COS) courses as a natural science, which other schools (like COSC) will not.

The one thing to keep in mind when filling your BALS AOS - you can only have 6cr of 100-level courses there. So just make sure that you have at least 3 courses that come in as 2XX-. So if you took Anthropology (ANT-150) and Sociology (SOC-101), and decided on Sociology for your Diversity requirement, and wanted to put Anthropology in the AOS, it would work - but if you already had BIO-101 and PSY-101 in there, it would not.

Here's how I would fulfill my credits if I was going for a BALS degree at TESU (somewhat different than TESU does it):
1) UL AOS
2) Specific requirements in the GE like Diversity, Speech, English, etc.
3) Natural World
4) LL AOS
5) Remaining GE's

TESU will throw everything into the UL & LL AOS first, meaning they'll take your Diversity or Ethics courses out to use them in the AOS, which can be a pain. So just make sure that you realize this before you send in for an eval and get all confused by what they do with your perfectly planned out courses!
