Help with degree plan for combined Math & Environmental Studies

Environmental Science may not be the easiest degree to obtain - may require 2 terms at TESU based on prior posts. Here is an older post that may help you in planning for Environmental Studies: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid362435

For TESU, you are in good shape for RA credits, as well as general education requirements, if I reading correctly that is a 2nd Bachelors, since those and Electives will then be waived. Many of your missing requirements would be available via Sophia, Study.com and possibly onlinedegree.com. For Math, you need calculus, linear algebra and possibly statitiscs depending on how business statistics is brought in. It looks good for overall math credits needed.

The BA in Computer Science + Math may also be a good match based on your current credits.

This is the Environmental Science program I was referring to at UMPI:
https://www.umpi.edu/academics/environmental-science/

Although it isn't listed as an "online degree", it may be possible if you can get the right credits? 

For the Math degree at TESU, are you saying that I'd only need those 3 classes? Thanks for your help!

Schools in our second tier – less optimized than UMPI and TESU, but more friendly than most schools to alt and transfer credit – which offer environmental science programs online, and some also mathematics, include Southern New Hampshire University, Wilmington University, American Public University System, and the University of Phoenix (which is likely to become an affiliate of the University of Idaho System in 2024). These could be useful for transfer credit even if you ultimately complete at TESU or UMPI.
Thank you, I'll look into those other schools. Do they tend to accept ACE credits?

We don't know what this degree is yet, it's hard for us to recommend you any degrees from the UMPI BAS with any possible minors up to the TESU BA Environmental Studies & Math Majors...  That one variable is the 'biggest' deciding factor (if it was for me).  I'm even more inclined to inform you the Masters option if you have the prerequisites for something similar...

My apologies! I have a BS in IT.
