New guy looking for feedback on TESU History BA

[dfrecore]

So, there's is a lot to look at here, and I have zero to contribute on financial aid. However, here is some additional info:

1) Introduction to Industrial & Systems Engineering 1110 and Blueprint Reading for Manufacturing 104 may not count in GE, those might be free electives
2) TESU relies on ACE-recommendation for your AP exams, so you can't go by what your previous institutions gave you. You need to list the years you took them, and the score you got.
3) DSST - Intro to Geography (formerly Human/Cultural Geography, updated 7/30/18) still exists
4) Study.com - Presentation Skills no longer counts for the Oral Comm requirement
5) Study.com - double check on the Civil War course counting as UL before you take it, they recently made a couple of changes, although there are other courses you can take instead

Also, TESU looks at all of your schools and either computes each school's GPA separately, or does their own GPA combined. They do not go look at what school B says about school A, they look at them directly. So you can't spend any time thinking that because school a did it one way or school b did it another, than TESU will do it the same. TESU will do it their own way.

Last, I would seriously consider COSC for the BA in Liberal Arts with a concentration in History. They require 36cr in the major (TESU requires 33cr), but they are much more lenient on what they will take. They require US History I & II, Western Civ I & II, and 2 Non-western History courses (and I think they consider Vietnam War one of those). Then the rest are electives.

They are also much less expensive than TESU, so the financial aid will go much further even if you don't take a full load.

EDIT: Forgot to mention ModernStates.org to CLEP-prep, and then they will give you a free voucher for CLEP exams, and reimburse you for test center fees. Don't forget to look at OnlineDegree.com as well, the courses are free and then the credit is $9 for proctored exams.

And also, I think COSC goes by the ACE recommendations for AP exams just like TESU does.
