Doing a TESU BS Information Technology Degree in One Term Is Now Possible!

[jch]

I would hope that they would allow BSIT + BS CIS as two separate degrees, similar to the BACS/BS(BA) CIS. But then, of course, one wouldn't be able to also get the BACS as well.

Nope, TESU did not allow me to graduate with those two programs as my two separate bachelor's degrees in the March 2024 cycle. Worse, a senior academic advisor allowed me to enroll in both programs in fall 2023, and the issue wasn't found until a week before graduation. TESU did a poor job handling it, and I'm still mad at them about the situation. Days before I was set to graduate, I didn't know for sure if I would graduate or what exactly my degrees would be.
TESU now strictly interprets the "can't earn two of the same degree" provision in the award of degrees policy to mean that students are prohibited from receiving two degrees of the same general type: ie you can't have two different BS degrees, two different BA degrees, two different AS degrees, etc. Weirdly, BSBA/ASNSM programs used to not cause issues because TESU treated them as different degrees from a BS/AS, even though that's in the name. Now that TESU changed the names (and didn't really change anything else), the rule applies. I tried pointing out to TESU that this mess is nonsensical, but they wouldn't hear it.
