Only missing 12 RA credits

[zolpgree]

Hello everyone,

I'm nearly done with the credits requirements for what's become a three degree plan at TESU.

1. BA Computer Science
2. BS Aviation Flight Technology
3. ASNSM Mathematics

If my planning is correct, I'm only missing 12 RA credits before enrolling.

Total RA planned: 30

Currently done:
3 TEL American Government MACU

Residency requirements:
3 APS-4010
3 LIB-4970
3 SOS-1100
3 ePack
2 Labs 
1 credit course
= 15

Missing prior to application:
12 4x (Teceps or TEL)

I've attached my detailed plans for the General Education requirements and the Area of Study (AOS) for each degree. I know it's a lot of information, but I've done my best to align everything with the requirements I've found on the TESU wiki, forums, and other resources. Any feedback on my plan is truly appreciated.

Some questions:
1) Can I use AOS credits from one degree to fullfill the general electives of the other?
2) I have purposedly made sure there are no more than 9 credits overlapping between the AOS of the 3 degrees. Greatest overlap is ASNSM with 9 (Discrete Math, Calculus and Statistics).
3) From what I've gathered, the Google Cloud Data Analytics certificate is counted for atleast 6 upper level credits and for the respective TESU courses (as listed on my planning). Is that accurate?
4) Any other RA recommendations that are self paced and accessible? If not, I believe I'll stick with math related TECEPs instead of trying to study something from scratch. But I'm open to suggestions.
5) Am I overlooking anything?

Thank you all in advance.

Yes to 3)

Re 4), I would search all of the Universities of Applied Sciences in Finland and look for online Open University courses. You will find them, take the ones you like, and then you have to have them evaluated to transfer into TESU. The courses will be free or very cheap, and the evaluation will be a couple hundred bucks.

Thanks for the reply. Are the finland courses proctored?

[homeschoolmom1]

Most of them are not proctored.

Yes

With the ASNSM, the overlap between a bachelor's degree and an associate degree doesn't matter.

The BSBA has a 9-credit overlap limit in the AOS. For other bachelor's degrees, you would need to check the specific requirements.

I'm currently practicing through Math Academy and planning on taking all missing RA credits as math credits from either Coopersmith, Tel Education (Briar Cliff's courses) or TECEP's. I'm keeping the Finland RA credits as a solid plan B. Great suggestion.

RA credits I'm going for (Total of 12):

- Briar Cliff's MATH 111 College Algebra or Coopersmith's College Algebra (MAT-101) or TESU TECEP College Algebra (MAT-1210-TE) - 3 Credits
- Briar Cliff's MATH 105 Mathematics for Liberal Arts students or TESU TECEP Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics (MAT-1050-TE) - 3 Credits
- Coopersmith's Introduction to Statistics (MAT-102) or TESU TECEP Principles of Statistics (STA-2010-TE) - 3 Credits
- Coopersmith's College Geometry (MAT-103) - 3 Credits

If any of you have any information as to how surely these will transfer to TESU as RA credits, please let me know. I'm counting that they will at this point.

Coopersmith will not count towards your RA credit requirement. Briar Cliff and TECEP will count.

As per my recommendation, did you do the following? https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...nity-Check
My suggestion is to do this differently, have you filled in the addendum and template? https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Do you mean:
"Apply, send all transcripts from Sophia.org, Study.com, and anything else (ACE, NCCRS, etc), take the TECEP and required classes last."

I have not. I'm thinking on getting everything absolutely ready before that next step (application). Since I know I'm missing the RA credits, I intend to obtain them, and then once I belive I have all the required coursework complete (with the exception of the 15 credits I'll purposedly take at TESU for the residency waiver requirements), I'd apply and have all the credits evaluated and act accordingly from there.

From what I've gathered, I have everything ready but the RA credits. If something comes up, it'll be unexpected. That is, unless I'm not able to obtain clarity on what are the accepted TESU equivalent RA credits according to the information contained in here.

BJ is wondering why you don't simply apply to TESU and see how everything gets evaluated. There does not seem to be any particular reason to wait to apply. You can apply and then get all of the RA credits later. TESU lets you bring in additional courses at any time, even after enrollment. We are not sure if we are missing something in your approach to explain your hesitation.
