(previously, TESU would not award any same-level degrees after you've earned two, no matter where those two were earned. the new wording seems to imply they will allow two TESU degrees, even if you have multiple degrees elsewhere)
I have a TESU BA in Psych, a WGU BS in IT Security, and decided to test this new policy to see if I could get a second TESU BA (third overall Bachelors) in Computer Science.
As of today, I have completed all requirements for the BACS, finishing my capstone course with 96%. I also tacked on a AS in Business Administration (this will be my second overall Associates), and undergrad certificates in Operations Management and Computer Information Systems (pretty useless/redundant with an IT and CS bachelors, but why not).
I am still not 100% convinced that TESU will award me a third bachelors, but I did email advising before I started this and they did confirm that I could have two TESU bachelors (but we all know how much we can trust TESU advisors...). I'll be applying for graduation soon, but won't hear back for a while (conferral isn't until March, I believe they wait quite a while before evaluating and confirming your graduation, iirc). I won't feel confident until they actually confirm my degree.
But, assuming this holds, here are my new academic "stats" ():
MS Cybersecurity (Policy), Georgia Tech, 2021
BA Computer Science, Thomas Edison State University, 2023
BS Information Technology (Security), Western Governors University, 2018
BA Psychology, Thomas Edison State University, 2016
AS Business Administration, Thomas Edison State University, 2023
AA Sociology, local community college, 2015
Certificate in Operations Management, Thomas Edison State University, 2023
Certificate in Computer Information Systems, Thomas Edison State University, 2023
Who was your mentor for the capstone ?
