Revisiting Associate of Arts

[RA808]

Long time poster. I started this process a while ago. Basically, I did well in my industry as a creative in advertising self taught, but always worried not having any degree might be a hindrance. Decided in 2011 to pursue a 2 year degree. My career continued to do well and I’ve been in 2 jobs since. Seems few care about degree with established creatives in this biz. THAT said, I would really like to finish this finally. I’m 54/60 credits and would like to just get it done. I put in the time and would rather it wasn’t wasted. And who knows, if I ever encounter a stiff corporate gig in the future it may help. Or even a career change far into the future as a foundation to pursue a BA. 

That said, I’m not sure what the process is with TESC now. Back then, the process seemed to be to do a year of tuition and basically cash in the credits. 

What is the easiest process now? I will look into credit requirements to see if those have changed much. Have they? 

Here’s what I’ve got:
