Has anyone used a TESU degree to obtain CA teaching certificate?

To become a teacher in CA, you do not need to have a bachelor's in a certain subject; you can get a degree in anything you want, and then pass the CSET exam for the subject you want to teach.

If your GF is fluent in Spanish, I'm going to get as many UL credits as possible using the ACTFL Exams for Spanish (OPIc, WPT) for a total of 12UL and 12LL which can be used in the AoS. That will be the fastest/easiest option.

Then she just needs English Comp 2, Ethics, a Social Science, and 1 add'l UL course in the Social Science or Humanities area and she's done.

Then $6500 for 6cr at TESU and she's done. She could probably complete the degree within 6 months of finishing her AA.

I'm probably also going to apply to EC and see what they do with those ACTFL credits in addition to the CC credits. That school is cheaper, but they require more UL credits, so it's a matter of what's easier for your GF to do (pay or take courses). But it's worth looking at.

If EC brings in those UL credits, then you'd need the following:
English Comp 2
Ethics (take an UL one)
1 additional UL course from Arts/Sciences
2 additional UL courses from anywhere

Then $4000 for 7cr at EC (Info Lit/Cornerstone/Capstone) and she's done. Same as TESU, she could probably complete the degree within 6 months of finishing her AA, although EC graduates monthly with no application to graduate hassle.
