Looking at TESU English degree

[amomwholearns]

Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some help as to what my next steps should be for working towards my BA in English at TESU.

Classes I have taken already 

Sociology- RA

Ancient Greek Philosophers- Sophia
Environmental Science- Sophia
Human Biology- Sophia
Introduction to Information Technology- Sophia
US History 1- Sophia
Quantitative Skills for Business- CSM Learn

I should note that I made a huge mistake by withdrawing from my local community college mid-term, so I owe a balance before they will release my transcripts. So I need to do everything I can do before I need to apply and transfer credits over to TESU so I have some time to pay that off. 

Thank you in advance!

Essentially, create yourself a degree plan using CLEP/Sophia.org for your lower level and Study.com for your upper level. Note, you will need at least 24 RA credits through either classes at TEL/ONU or exams as in TECEPS/UEXCELS.

Instead of TESU, you might want to consider UMPI: https://online.umpi.edu/programs/ba-prof...alism.aspx

You'd complete most of your requirements through Sophia.org, Study.com, and InstantCert (for Spanish) before enrolling at UMPI. At UMPI, I think you'd have somewhere between 30-45 credits to complete, depending on exactly what courses you decided to take at Study.com vs. UMPI.

A UMPI degree should cost between $3-5k (depends on a number of factors) while a TESU English degree costs $7-10k.

I am not a huge fan of the courses you would have to take at UMPI (I'd want more Lit courses, not a huge Journalism and Professional Comm lover), but it will be half the cost of the TESU degree. For that reason, I'd probably do it instead, and self-study Lit on my own time.

Take some courses from Sophia.org to max the number of transfers to either school or any other school that accepts ACE.
Here are a couple of links, it may help you decide on the degree/school of choice.

TESU is great if you know exactly what courses you want to take and transfer in, but it will cost you.
UMPI is great as well, but it's CBE, if you can't finish in a term, you'll need to pay for another term.
Decide on which is more suitable for you, for cost, ease, speed to finish...
