TESU Certificate, A Few Details
#1
For the undergraduate certificates at TESU:
  • Can you use courses to fulfil the certificate requirements, and at the same time use those same courses as GE/FE courses for your undergraduate degree?
  • Are there any other fees other than the courses themselves (certificate along with an undergraduate degree)?
(I'm doing the BA of English and missing GE/FE courses. If the above works out, I'm thinking getting a Certificate of Psychology could be worth it.)

Yes, I think that you could take all of the courses required for the Psych cert, they'd be part of the courses used for your BA in English, and they'd count (so you don't have to take those courses in addition to your English major and degree requirements). But I'm not 100% certain on that.

Go for it! Getting an additional certificate and/or associates is well worth it if it doesn't add money/time...
1) Yes, You can get the 18 credits required for a certificate, it'll be using the same General Education or Free Electives area.
2) There are no additional costs for the certificate if you get it the same time as your associates or bachelors degree.

In fact, for the ones who pre-plan their degree very well, they can get two certs, as the GE is 17-20 credits and the FE are worth 27 credits, in total that is more than the required 18/certificate. So, for example, if you're into Accounting, CIS or something else that they offer, you can get that in addition to the Psychology certificate.

Wow! This is a great post. I have more than the necessary requirements in my BA-LS for Psychology certificate. I will add this too! Do I have to pay an extra fee to get a certificate?

Oh, nice!

Looks like all the courses of the Psychology Cert. can be done at Study.com.

There's only the Social Psychology and Abnormal Psychology courses that I'm not sure about. On the TESU course table, the first is listed as PSY-379 Social Psychology, but on the Study.com-TESU equivalency page, it transfers in as PSY-245 : Social Psychology (245 instead of 379). Would that still work?

Same thing with Abnormal Psychology (transfers in as PSY-246 instead of PSY-350).

Someone has posted on another thread, that for certificates, the course numbers must match exactly. Not sure though. Bcos I took all those courses on study.com for my BA-LS (Psychology), and they have all been included in my eval.
Another thing I am noticing today is, I don’t see the certificate in psychology option when I search the ‘what if’ feature in my academic eval. page. Is that option unavailable for me, bcos I am already pursuing BA-LS with a Psychology concentration, or has TESU scrapped it altogether? Please check on your academic eval page, if that option is available for you?

The BALS w/Psych concentration IS the certificate.  Per the website:

Psychology Concentration

The concentration in Psychology offered under the BA degree in Liberal Studies is an 18-credit program that focuses on psychological principles and research methods, and explores the psychological approaches to various problems in the humanities, social sciences and the life sciences. Students who complete this concentration may also earn an Undergraduate Certificate in Psychology.

Oh ok. Makes sense. But what does ‘May earn a certificate’ imply? I should ask for it?

I was wrong about the course numbers matching exactly, just the titles of the courses have to match read my updated post. The post was just my experience yours may be different.

No, asking for it won't work. There is a link on the graduation page, you fill it in for certificates, and there is NO fee.
