Residency Requirement for Dual AOS (Second Degree)

[sarahmac]

I'm going to be the outlier here: I do NOT think that random TECEP's can count towards residency.  I think they have to be used in your degree plan.  As far as I know, anything that's bumped down to "other credits" doesn't count towards anything.

I do think that the TECEP's can be used in the separate AOS's.

If not, then you have to weigh 2 options: 1) how much will it be to do any TECEP's that will count towards your AoS, plus any courses that you will have to take at $750/course; vs. 2) how much will it cost to insist that TESU takes you OUT of the military plan and that you switch to the FT/FR term and do 16cr there if possible (I'm not sure if you'd pay in-state or out-of-state).

To be honest, I was surprised to see people say that about it not mattering where the credits go. I know that is how it works for first degrees, but with the electives section blocked off I didn't expect it to work for a second degree. Great if it does, not the end of the world if it doesn't.

Our issue here was whether we need to cram 21 TESU credits into each AOS (not feasible, there just isn't room) or whether we can do a 12/9 split between two AOS' for one BA (technically much more feasible).

Aside from the higher residency credit requirement, there is no difference between the mil and non-mil programs on this. Whatever other second-degree folks have been able to do in terms of fitting TESU credits in should also apply here.

This is probably the point at which I find out everyone getting a second degree has just been paying the residency waiver..
