Hypothetically, from TESU, can you get two dual major degrees?

[CanICode]

I mean can you do BA CS+Mathematics and a BS BA+IT.

Does that count as two degrees? How do they view dual degrees as far as the two degree rule works?

No, BA CA+Math is one degree, but the BSBA and IT are from different schools, they'll be two degrees. You only get 1 degree from each school, you can double major in each school, once you cross a third "school", that's a third degree. You're thinking of getting too many degrees all at once, even someone like me who loves to get additional associates, certs, and/or bachelors would not go this route. You can work on 3 things, Certs, Degree, Experience in addition to a dual degree.

For example, if you have the energy, money, time as you're relatively young and have no commitments, you can do the AS CS/Math and AS Applied Computer Studies/Environmental Safety and Security Technologies to hit the two AS degrees, and do the BACS/Math, BSBA CIS/Entrepreneurship, get undergrad certificates in several business AOS's and call it a day. It really depends on your end goal, your "threads" haven't been updated with the template details I mentioned.

Basically, stop for a moment and decide what path you want, I would review your previous threads as you have been planning too much but not starting on getting credits, work on one at a time and add the second degree/major afterwards. It's best for you to get 1 done instead of working on multiple at once. The reason for I mentioned the double associates is the associates capstone will hit 3 credits out of the 16 you need for residency, find the other ones you need for your degree and max it out.

Thank you for your help.

I have completed 10 courses since my first post here. All while working 70 hours a week trucking. So basically only on my day and a half off. All gen eds and electives. I am trying to map things out because now I know I can do a degree so quickly. Study.com lets you test out of parts of classes and then fills in what you know from other courses into new courses. Sophia exams are even easier. I am mapping it out because I believe I could easily do one degree quickly. I could definitely do something easy like business administration in less than 3 months minus the final TESU classes. I have money saved up. I am going to take time off and complete everything I want to do in one go.

So just to be clear I can only do two degrees from each individual school. Like the school of heavin or these listed here: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/schools

Then from there I can double major on one degree from one of TESU's schools right? So I could theoretically have two degrees with two double majors right? This would be a dual degree with double majors correct?

I could do BACS + Math & BSBA CIS + Finance. Is this possible?

Yes, you can, but I would do it differently, it really depends on personal preference and how you want it to show on the transcript. At the end of the day, you're still just completing a BSBA with 2 AOS along with your BA double major in CS/Math. I mentioned Entrepreneurship because (along with International Business AOS), they don't offer undergrad certificates.

The undergrad certificate and the BSBA AOS are identical for most AOS except for Accounting if I recall correctly. That's the reason I mentioned in my earlier post, you can take certificates for other AOS that are the exact same courses for the certs! Haha, as I knew it would come up, I thought you would go for a CIS + some other AOS and I was correct...

That's a good idea: Entrepreneurship + Finance and get the CIS certificate on the side. More bang for your buck, so to speak!

Certificate plans are here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...cate_Plans

If you're already getting a BSBA and the CIS cert (or if you decide to get the BSBA CIS), you should only need Business 312: Advanced Operations Management from SDC to get the Operations Management certificate.

You can't get the BSIT at TESU inexpensively using alt-credit, so that point is moot.

Get the BACS and the BSBA/CIS.

Computer science is a higher level degree than IT from a technical perspective.

You can easily do IT work with a computer science degree by picking up certifications related to the field of work.

Please tell me - will both diplomas have the same validity?

Which two? There are multiple things being talked about in this thread. 

But, yes, if you get two degrees from TESU, both degrees will be equally valid.

For some reason I couldn't find Operations Management in my academic evaluation "What if I changed my program of study?" dropdown, maybe it's because I'm in the 22-23 catalog? That doesn't seem to make sense, the cert is still up on the TESU website currently.
