TESU - 4 Undergrad Degree Limit?

(09-29-2017, 10:37 AM)Life Long Learning Wrote: What I read is TESU will not award a 3rd degree directly by TESU.  If you show up to TESU with 14 AA degrees, 3 BS degrees, and 23 master degrees you can still earn 3 new AA or BS TESU degrees?  Not sure this is correct, but that's the way it reads to me?

The University will not award a third "Thomas Edison State University" associate or baccalaureate degree.

My reading is that they will not award an associate's or bachelor's to someone that has already has two RA degrees of the same type.

Even with your interpretation, you could still only get 2 AA's and/or 2 BA's.  They will not award a 3rd.

TESU does count other college degrees towards their two max total at each level.

My local CC could careless how many other degrees you have as long as you get 15 credits from them for a degree from them.

Email from Excelsior, 9.29.2017

Whenever you hold a degree and pursue another degree at the same level (or below), you fall under "Second Degree" policies.  Basically, you have to earn at least 30 new credits, and the credits have to be completely unrelated to the first degree.  So, essentially you complete your SR year again.   This is to prevent students from earning multiple degrees by using the same credits.

So, if you were to pursue a 3rd BS degree, you would have to get permission from the Dean.   Then, if given permission, you would have to pursue a degree that is "distinct and different" from your first 2 BS degrees, and the courses you take would have to be "distinct and different" as well.
