Ethics
Straighterline- Business Ethics

If you want, you can take CPCU Ethics for free to fulfill this requirement (https://www.theinstitutes.org/comet/lear...ethics.htm -- make sure you select the FREE option, if you do the $5 version you won't get ACE credits).

It's only two credits, but the third one will be pushed elsewhere!

OR

For $20 you can take Saylor's Environmental Ethics, which is 3 credits (https://learn.saylor.org/courses/envs203).

Quantitative Literacy
Aleks-Begining Algebra

I thought TESU doesn't accept beginning Algebra?

Liberal Arts Capstone
Going to attempt to have this waved with 120 hours transfer in

You'd be the first of us to attempt this. It seems like a longshot.

Diversity
Saylor- intro to Sociology

Saylor's course is only 1 cr, this probably won't do it.

[jsd]

Non-Western History
Secularcourses (Coopersmith) A Social History of Jewish Food (UL)

TESU transfers this in as a Sociology course, so if course I'd get prior approval to have it count as a history course to make sure they'll accept it as such.

Liberal Arts Capstone

Also, you're way under 120 right now. Assuming they count beginning algebra, and knowing Saylor's intro to sociology is only 1 cr and their intro to psych is only 2, And the TEEX courses are only 2, I think you're at 92 just doing quick math in my head (so I'm probably off a bit because I'm a math dummy and didn't check my work).

I think the BA history plan gives you lots of free elective credits to make up the difference, but don't forget to include those in your costs.

Thank you guys for the info.

JSD, I somehow missed saylors sociology was only one credit. Ill replace that with straighterlines then most likely. Im sorry, the algebra from Aleks was college algebra. Im use to calling it beginning. Also here is the only info I found about not having to take a capstone https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/C...Policy.cfm
Nixi-Ill look into the ethics class for sure!



Also, I was a little confused on this information: Two Areas of Study Within One Degree
If I pursued two majors in History and Religion, If I took for instances *Biblical Jewish History* That fulfills a requirement for both degrees then it counts for both? But I can only do that with up too 9 hours?

If that is true I believe I will be using some credits from the Association for Hebraic Studies Institute that are nccrs recommended. And do either history/language or history/religion. Because they have alot of courses that would fall under electives for both I believe Association for Hebraic Studies Institute | NCCRS


JSD- Im missing the 27 general electives hours. Im still trying to figure what I want to do too fill those. (Also, I attempted to fix the title earlier to say needs proofing without electives, but my computer froze up, and I just went back to looking into other stuff)

Also here is the only info I found about not having to take a capstone https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/C...Policy.cfm

We've discussed this on the forum before, but no one has actually tried it yet (at least no one who has come back to discuss it here). It seems more geared towards BSBA folks who completed the strategic management capstone elsewhere (i.e. Penn Foster) without knowing that this option is no longer available. But it's not clear.

I'm skeptical that the Heavin School dean will allow this, especially without anything equivalent in the 120 CRs to a capstone, but I wish you luck and hope it pays off. Please let us know either way, it would be great info for those going forward.

This a $6300 plan (adding $1500+ for the capstone). That web page entry about transferring in the capstone was intended for BSBA strategic management and the PF course even though it doesn't say so explicitly. The waiver is for the capstone to be a transferred course, not for you to get out of the requirement altogether.

[jsd]

This a $6300 plan (adding $1500+ for the capstone).

It's going to be even more when they add in price of free electives that were not included already.
