Adding a cheap and easy math AS

[jch]

Hi everyone, 
I believe that I have found a quite inexpensive and simple way to add a math associates degree to many bachelors degree plans at TESU. The ASNSM in Mathematics just requires Calculus I (which is needed for some BS anyway), three math gen ed credits, plus 13 additional math elective credits, (19 total math credits) all on top of the standard gen ed platform. There is NO capstone for the ASNSM listed! Unlike some of the other AS programs, the ASNSM doesn't seem to explicitly require physics. 

Now, how can you get those math electives? Pick up the lower level math credits on your way to Calculus! I think that this degree can be earned without any crazy high level math. 
There's a General Mathematics CLEP (basically arithmetic and pre-algebra). TESU accepts this for six credits of introductory math classes! If you're already familiar with algebra, general math looks like a breeze. 
Then, take the college algebra and precalc CLEPs for three credits each. Now you're at twelve math credits. These could also be done elsewhere - I'm taking the ASU courses while they're cheap. 
Next is calculus. This is where I'm a bit confused. The ASNSM requires three credits of calc, but most classes and exams I've seen for calculus I or equivalents are listed as four credits. What happens to the extra credit - does it get applied to the math electives? Assuming all four credits do count, that's now 16 math credits. 
Three more math credits need to be found somewhere. There are several other introductory or intermediate math credits available from various sources that look as if they should apply here and not duplicate one of the items above. 

For these CLEPs, modern states should be available for their free prep and voucher, minimizing cost. 

Is there anything I'm missing here? I'm assuming that any non-duplicate credits from the math department should apply toward this degree, correct?
Do statistics classes under STA-XXX count toward the math requirements? (I don't think so)

If this works, I'll be doing the ASNSM along with BSBA/CIS or BS in cybersecurity. I'll post updates on progress. 

From what I have read, graduation from TESU costs the same regardless of how many degrees and AOS you graduate with. Additionally, the credit residency/waiver should apply per-graduation. Thus, it seems potentially advantageous to look for any additional degrees in other fields to add to your graduation.
