Your Location: Louisiana, USA
Your Age: 39
School:
TESU
- I chose TESU for their liberal acceptance of alt-credits. My job duties allow ample time for self paced learning, but not really conducive to being in a classroom (virtually or otherwise). While it's not urgent that I graduate asap, my industry is rapidly growing and it would be foolish not to take advantage of this growth. The sooner I can wrap this up, the better.
What kind of degree do you want?:
AAS in Environmental, Safety & Security Technologies & BA in Liberal Studies
- I am currently working in the Health and Safety field (10+ years). I have reached a point where a degree is required to advance further. Any Bachelor's will do. Having said that, I think it makes sense to add the AAS specific to my career field, especially if it involves minimal additional work.
Degree Plan / Assessments:
A plan and assessment for each degree is attached.* **
* The "Degree Plan" pages are up to date regarding completed courses.
** The "Degree Assessments" are not up to date. TESU is currently awaiting transcripts from Sophia and one previously attended junior college.
Questions:
- Do my degree plans appear to be accurate?
- Is there anything obvious that I am missing or not accounting for?
- Is it possible to only take a single capstone course for both degrees?
- Is there a better way to accomplish the same goal?
**UPDATE**

to clarify:
- the Bachelor's doesn't have to be a BA. That's just the one that appeared to be the "path of least resistance" to completion.
- the only reason I'm contemplating the AAS, is because it represents my chosen career field. So it has to be the Environmental, Safety and Security Technologies or similar, otherwise, there's no point.
- money isn't a determining factor in this decision (within reason). The degree will pay for itself in a relatively short period of time.
- choosing a different school would result in 20 credit hours not transferring due to having a "D" grade.
