Residency Requirement for Dual AOS (Second Degree)
#11
My answer remains the same as what I mentioned above, if you want to get an idea of how it works, you should follow up with someone who actually works there.  At TESU (or any school for that matter) taking any course from them IS residency, it doesn't matter if it is part of the degree or not.  There is an area in "what if" evaluation that indicate courses, e-packs, or TECEPS taken at the university.  

Here's the academic advising page for TESU, it's best to contact them directly.  There are 3 main people I use that provide "valid" answers that I always email when I want to verify things.  Don Stoltz, Patricia Certo are my main "go to" and Chrystal Guadarrama is my "backup" when they're not available.  They will follow up with you accordingly.  Link: https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/advising/staff

This is probably the point at which I find out everyone getting a second degree has just been paying the residency waiver..

I had a total of 22 residency credits from e-Pack, Guided Study, and Online classes (the only ones that count for non-military students). Industrial Psychology and PLA-100 (neither of which were in my AOS) counted toward residency as a second-degree student without free electives.
