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

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.

You're right. It's not there. Strange. You can ask to have it added to your degree plan, though. If you decide not to get it, you can always ask to have it removed again.

For Ops Management, you can't do the AoS via alt-credit entirely because they require a course that is not available: Applied Quality Management.  The good news is that you could do Ops Management as an Undergrad Certificate instead:

Required:
1) Ops Management (BUS 312: Advanced Operations Management SDC or Saylor)
2) Prin of Management (Sophia, SDC, others)
3) Management InfoSys (SDC, DSST, others)
Electives (choose 3):
1) Supply Chain Mgmt (BUS 315: Logistics and Supply Chain Management SDC)
2) Logistics
3) Stats (many options)
4) Intro to Business (many)
5) Computer Concepts & Applications (many)

For the BSBA Op. Management, yes. For the Operations Mangement Certificate, you need:
OPM-301 (BUS312 @ SDC)
Principles of Management (Sophia, SDC, etc., needed for BSBA anyway)
CIS-301 (Already needed for BSBA CIS)
Plus 9 optional credits of your choice. Easiest are:
Principles of Statistics (already needed for BSBA)
Intro to Business (easily available at Sophia, or elsewhere; probably already taken by most students)
Computer Concepts & Applications (I recommend either Sophia or ePack; probably already on most degree plans already)

So, yes, all you (usually) need for Op. Management Cert is BUS312 @ SDC when you're already going for the BSBA CIS.

You need at least 9cr of a cert to be UL, so either Management has to come in as UL (not certain if TESU brings Sophia's course in as UL), or else you need Supply Chain.

I got a message from a Senior Academic Program Advisor (who is mentioned in some other threads as reliable) in January 2022 that "Certificate programs do not have upper-level requirements like the bachelor degrees do."

I had 7 UL credits toward the OPM certificate. I think you might only be allowed to have one 100-level course, though.

We've heard, multiple times, from multiple advisors, and deans, and all kinds of people, that certificates do have UL requirements - it's been 50% for years.  So, if that's wrong, I'm happy to hear it, but I wouldn't take a single person's word for it.

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.

Thanks for the explanation.
