I know you've taken the SOS-110 Cornerstone, I am not sure if you started the Capstone yet, did you start taking anything else at TESU? Graduate Certs/Diploma programs are great additions to a Bachelors and/or Masters as it shows you have a concentration in some study at the grad level...
Anyways, TESU is an interesting university, it's the only one I know of that allows individuals to complete two Bachelors degrees for roughly the same amount of credits for one, and with their Bachelors to Masters program you can finish a grad cert, plus you can get 12 graduate credits at undergrad prices to be used elsewhere such as Amberton, Walden, etc and many more universities that take transfer credit into their Masters programs...
Review a post I created last year: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid303806 and a more recent post here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid316986 - If you haven't started any other courses or the capstone, just take your time and think of your options... TLDR: Yes! Whatever - Get the Grad Cert after you finish the BALS with the B2M option!
By paying slightly less than $300 extra, you get 12 graduate credits.
BALS cost by taking 16 Residency Credits for out of state: $519 x 16 = $8304
Graduate Cert regardless of state residency: $668 x 12 = $8016
Note: If you use Pell Grant towards this, it'll come out ccheaperThankwhatw so ,s
