BA in Political Science with TESC -- what actually is required?
#6
I don't think so! I think this will work for you guys. To compare, look at any of the outlines for the 4 liberal arts BAs I listed above (social science, liberal arts, humanities, math/natural science)- and then look at any BA with a specific major (psych, poli sci, english, history, etc) , you'll notice that all the specific majors are clear about course titles- not that they have a certain number. Contrast this to the 4 liberal arts BAs above, they omit course titles and instead have course numbers. This was the change that TESC implemented just a short while ago. I think you guys are good to go! You can double check this by calling advising, but I'm pretty sure that's right.
That change makes it next to impossible to complete those degrees via testing anymore- that might be on purpose, and it makes it very hard to meet the "upper level" course requirements (since they don't teach these courses!!!). That was the only change made though, the other degrees (with specific majors) remained untouched!

Here is another example of a specific major: Thomas Edison State College | BA in English Credit Distribution you'll notice no mention of course numbers, only titles. Browse the other degree programs at TESC, you'll see this in all of the degree plans- I believe this is true for all of them.

Jennifer,
This information is worth about $2500 for us. I am considering enrolling my son as a student a year early so I could have access to the advising dept to get questions like this answered. With your help, I just be able to wait until his last year to sign up with TESC.

Thanks for clarifying thing for us!
