I'm going to contact TESU directly and ask them some questions:
1) if you have a master's w/o a bachelor's, does that waive your GE/Free Electives?
2) if not, how many credits can you bring in from your master's?
TESU will take D's for your GE (except English Comp), but not for the Major. So you could use Biology and Chemistry in the GE Natural Sciences area. Not sure about the computer and math courses, it depends on what they are (for instance, if the math is Calc, then you can't bring that into the major, but since it's required, you can't use it in the GE for Quant Lit because it's a duplicate course; but if it's College Algebra, then you could use in the GE).

There's no shame in going back for a Bachelors, the BA Computer Science is a good option to select. You'll just need to transfer everything in after an international evaluation has been completed (course by course) through one of the NACES members that are accepted. You should expect most of your credits to hit the electives field... If you have energy, money, time, you may want to do a BSBA/BACS combo and throw in an extra Associates if you wanted.indeed that is the plan, i've seen a couple of posts about BSA + CS combo.
i'm thinking to add an Accounting certificate to that too, perhaps associate as you mentioned.

Quote:Earning a First Baccalaureate Degree after Earning an advanced or professional Degree
Students who have earned a graduate or a professional degree from TESU or an accredited institution recognized under the Thomas Edison State University Transfer Credit Policy, but have not earned a baccalaureate degree from TESU or an accredited institution recognized under the Thomas Edison State University Transfer Credit Policy must:
- Complete a minimum of 24 credits in the area of study and/or core of the baccalaureate degree. These credits must be earned after the date the most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.
- Complete all the general education requirements required for the baccalaureate degree.
- Additionally, students must complete all other degree requirements as listed in the current Thomas Edison State University Catalog.
If I'm reading between the lines correctly, the last two bullet points talks about "requirements" that can still be achieved using Credit Transfer, which may include credit coming from the Masters/High school degree.. Correct?
