Completing a Mathematics degree.

[cookderosa]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

TESC has finished their evaluation of my transfer credits and I am happy to say they were able to use every class I have had.

The problem is that I still need a handfull of upper level Math classes to finish my degree. I was hoping to finish the degree online at TESC but when I looked through their courses I didn't see any upper level Math that I had not already had (they may not have had any upper level math at all, I just can't remember).

Where can I get the credits I need online? I should have looked through their courses before! I assumed they had a lot more tests for credit than they have!

I feel like I have to be missing something here. TESC has a Mathematics degree, but anyone who had all of those upper level Math classes already probably wouldn't need to transfer to TESC because they would already have their degree.

Thanks a lot for the advice!

No, your not missing anything. They have several degrees like that- they create the program, and you can bring credit in, but you can't get the credit there. In the big picture, it is an awesome way for someone who has maybe taken a few classes and can't finish a degree without serious residency requirements. Case in point- I spoke to someone online last year who had two transcripts, totaling over 130 credits! But his local schools all wanted 30+ credit residency, so he would have had to earn 160 credits for his bachelor's degree. TESC is a perfect fit for that type of person. You can take all of your courses on the ground (locally) and ship them over. There are a few people who still don't want to do online learning, so that is a good option.

I don't know a lot about math or math levels, but as long as you have the appropriate pre-reqs, you shouldn't have any trouble finding programs that will let you take 2 classes as a non-student. I noticed almost every college will let you have 6 credits, so perhaps that will work for you. Your local university might be a good place to start, and even if they do not advertise online classes, you should ask- because sometimes they keep these under pretty tight wraps.

Can statistics count in your degree? If so, here is an excellent credit source for more statistics courses than you can imagine...my brain hurts just looking at the website :eek: : statistics.com
