Applying soon to TESC BA Liberal Arts (NEWS FLASH: Must Read)
#1
A friend told me that sources at the school are saying that some new changes are coming, one being this below. Is it true? I don't know only time will tell.

LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone strongly recommended. AS OF JULY 2012, THIS WILL BE A REQUIREMENT.

Yikes!

I wonder if this has something to do with accreditation.

Let us know if you get further confirmation or not.
AS in 2010 and BS in 2013 at Excelsior College - Transcripts and Costs
MS Biostatistics in 2019 at Texas A&M University - Graduate School

Sharing Credit-by-Exam*
Resources Used - 20+ Exams Passed & General GRE
Practice Tests - Available for CLEP and DSST

If this turns out to be the case, at least it will solve the GPA dilemma.

hmmm...guess I better get busy and get enrolled before I find myself needing another 3 hours...

Has ANYONE verified this?

I haven't, but then I'm not enrolled so I really wouldn't expect much if I called TESC to try and confirm....

I talked to an adviser today about my BA and asked about it. She said they consider it every year and wouldn't be surprised by the change. I wouldn't call that a definite answer, just keep in mind that the capstone or many different things can always change at any institution.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.

That's true. And now that I'm only 9 hours away from my degree (according to the current catalog) I guess it's time to formalize my relationship with TESC and enroll.

And create some ;p

One would think I'd be "grandfathered in" since I enrolled in February and will likely be done before July 1. Right?
