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!

Yes! The Cornerstone and Capstone are both graded.  Do you already have some college credit?  I was thinking a step too fast earlier when I mentioned to do 18 credits, as I was thinking you may have tuition reimbursement for up to 5 grand/year.   In any case, you get more tuition reimbursement than I!  That's much better than my treasure err, company offers me!

Now to get back on track, I don't know if you would want to do it this way or not, but as again, do 9 credits through TESU.  This is  because you haven't decided which BA Psych/BSBA you're going with.  Why not just work on the courses that can go towards both first... and decide which while you're working towards them.

Here's a kicker, if you really want both, and don't want to take any more than necessary, you can get both degrees at TESU for the extra cost of the secondary capstone (9 credits total).  If you can take an extra 7 credits, you won't need to pay the residency waiver.  I think by doing 16 to 18 credits with TESU, in addition to your other courses that compose the 120 credits, can be done within 1 years time.  

Yes, you read that right, if you plan carefully enough, you can get BOTH degrees, without taking an extra course.  You just need to decide if that second capstone is worth it or not.  Further more, if you don't want to pay the residency waiver, by taking an extra 7-9 credits, you get that waived.

Yeah I agree it makes sense to do them both at once.

You just need 24 different credits between the two degrees per TESU policy. There can and probably will be more but that's the minimum.

It doesn't make sense getting one and coming back because you will have to pay the residency waiver twice and thats an extra 2800!

SOS-110 and the two capstones already put you half way to avoiding the wavier. I think going for 16 credits at TESU might be a good idea if you can pull it off.
