Hello and Business or Psychology

[OldManOfTheSea]

Also, my employer recognizes TESU but only offers tuition reimbursement up to 10 credits per year.

OldManOfTheSea, fellow pirate! Argh ye matie!  Let us get ourselves some treasure maps...
Up to 10 credits/year in tuition reimbursement is the ticket to TESU for cheap if not free!
You just need to do 18 credits with them!  2 required courses (Capstone/Cornerstone)

Let me ask, is there a limit to the cost of the 10 credits, example $5 grand/year max?
I would do 3 courses this year and 3 courses next year for a total of 18 credits from TESU.
The main benefit to this is that the courses will be graded vs just transferring them in.

Ahoy bjcheung77!

I'm still on the lookout for my degree program treasure map hahaha!

The only classes I may try to submit for reimbursement would be the Cornerstone and Capstone.  After.  Doing it any other way requires me to submit the classes to them ahead of time for approval.. And they have been know to not only not approve the course for payment but also inform employees that the degree doesn't apply to the promotional application. They seem to make up rules as they go along and I'm trying to avoid getting caught in that spider web.  I don't want anything to ruin my chances of getting this final promotion. 

The Cornerstone and Capstone are graded courses right?

Thanks!

I know you are in government, and you said TESU is on the list of approved schools - but not WGU.  Both TESU and WGU have the same type of accreditation, and most employers (even government ones) give a dollar amount, not credit amount. Are you in NJ? Is that why TESU is on a list of approved schools; you're limited to NJ state schools? If this is not a limitation then I'd inquire about WGU with your employer (they work with company tuition reimbursement plans all the time; they would be a quick and cheap option if your employer pays for credits).

Both the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology or the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at TESU can be completed within the 18 months. We don't know what your career position so can't be sure which would be best for you.  If you're simply looking for a check box degree (which it sounds like you are) then pick the one that is of more interest to you.

Hello allvia!

My particular employer has a credit limit policy in place not a dollar amount.  But you are correct, I am in NJ and limited to NJ state schools.

I picked the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration because right now they are both accepted for my upcoming promotional announcement and because they both interest me.  The Psychology degree is looking a little better as there is no math requirement.  I've been out of school and away from calculus/trig for almost 30 years.

Thanks!
