TESU BS Physics+Chemistry waiver

[jch]

Unfortunately, TESU isn't doing waivers on the lab science requirement anymore. They refused to let me use other lab sciences or even do 1+1 like other students have in the past. Their denial specifically mandated that I do two semesters of either physics or chemistry. 
After comparing the subjects, I found physics more understandable and interesting. It is also slightly more alt-credit friendly. I binged the Physics Crash Course series to get oriented, then blazed through the Physics I&II courses on SDC. The next issue was the labs. My local community and technical colleges didn't offer physics courses or labs that fit my needs. Given the lack of other options, I had to take the Physics II lab at TESU. That course was an enjoyable, low-stress affair. As StraighterLine offered a standalone alt-credit Physics I lab option, I decided to go with them for Physics I. SL's lab ended up being one of the most miserable courses I've ever completed. It was a major mistake not taking that through TESU as well. 
TESU took the SDC courses plus the internal lab with no issues. I'm still waiting for the SL lab credit to show up, though it was pre-approved by advising. 
Overall, these lab science requirements are still a huge hangup for TESU's non-business BS degree programs. There aren't great options to get the credit, and limiting lab sciences to just physics or chemistry doesn't make sense for a lot of the degrees.  
There are some new options from ASU ULC for Physics I and Chemistry I that someone should try in the future.
