TESU ASNSM in Computer Science / AAS Applied Computer Studies

Make a spreadsheet on Google Sheets for yourself. For the bachelors, associate and certs that you want. The general education and free electives are generally waived if you already have a bachelors. That’s a good start and you can share it as read only with folks here that could help, if you want.

I meet the requirements for a degree. I got an RA bachelor plus all the credits listed plus 30 more credits not listed from the police academy.
I am still trying to figure out how many degrees can you do in one sitting. How many bachelor's or associate degrees can I take in one graduation session?

As it says at the start of the Award of Degrees Policy,

The University will not award more than two Thomas Edison State University associate, baccalaureate or master's degrees to any one student.

To clarify, they mean no more than two TESU degrees at each level, each level being considered separately. That is also a lifetime limit.

Based on reports here, if they're current and if I'm not mistaken, you can graduate with two degrees at the same level, and I expect at each of two different levels, in the same graduation session if you meet the other requirements of the Award of Degrees Policy.

So I am assuming per lifetime you can get only two associate degrees, two bachelor's degrees, and two master's degrees overall from TESU.

No more than two can be completed at one time (per graduation session).

Yes.

No more than two can be completed at one time (per graduation session).

I believe the degree levels are considered separately, so that in one session a student could graduate with a maximum of two associate's and a maximum of two bachelor's for a total maximum of four undergraduate degrees. (Master's degrees are largely governed by a separate catalog and schedule, so I'm disregarding them entirely right now.)

2 Associates, 2 Bachelors, X certificates...

Yeah I am still confused lol

Basically, when you've got so many credits and a prior Bachelors, your general education and electives are completed. You just need to do the area of study for the Associates and major for the Bachelors. That's it, really... With so many transferable credits from your MBA, MPA, DHA, your BSBA should already be complete.

Your BA Comp Sci and BA Political Science, when you apply, would be a double major, not two degrees, again, all you need are the requirements completed for the major, if you have enough to hit the requirements, you're done in that regard as well. If you're missing anything, you'll need to get them through ACE/NCCRS sources.

Essentially...You decide how you want to play things, you need 3 capstones for the 4 degrees I mentioned - AS doesn't require one, AAS does, and the BA double major and BSBA requires two capstones. You can do all 3 in one semester, along with two easy classes or e-packs, thus skipping the residency waiver fee.

Here's how it calculates - Flat rate: $4,428 for 15 credits, if you go the with residency waiver fee, 9 credits is already $5004, plus the residency fee of $3,354 for a total of $8358, that's a whopping almost $4K. Going my method will cost you about 1 grand per degree... I'm not going to give you the 'kicker', it's too complex.
