TESC Hopeful?

[ksedar2408]

You guys are awesome! Really, I appreciate all of the information. I've been racking my brain on how to make this all work.

One final scenario:
I've seen a lot of others talking about being able to test of of the AA at TESC, I didn't want to hijack anyone's thread with my question though. So, while I'm in the process of exploring options as I finish up this semester and can finally transition to TESC, could it be beneficial to pick up an AA on my path to the BA? If I've understood what I've read correctly, as long as all other requirements were completed I could go with the Pay Per Credit option and take four TECEPs at $111 each to meet the residency requirement. Could I pursue both the AA and BA concurrently, such as aligning the four TECEPs for the AA with additional courses I would need for the BA? I know little to nothing about how Associate's programs work, but I assume all credits can carry over into a Bachelor's? If this were something I were to do, would I need to apply twice for the two different programs?

Sorry for all of my questions!

I'm not sure if you could take both an AA and a BA simultaneously since they're both awarded by the Heavin School of Arts. Moreover, plainly speaking, it seems like a duplicate and waste since a BA already covers an AA. Perhaps you might want to consider taking an ASBA simultaneously with a BA instead? At least, you'd have one in business and the other in the arts.

You would have to pay the $299 graduation fee for the AA and then again for the BA. If they are both in the same field, are you getting added value from having both? I could see if you can get the AA now and the BA will take a couple of years, but if the BA will be within the next year or you are not planning to change jobs, then maybe skip the AA.
