(not sure why my comments were double...hmmm ignore that)

Merlin merged the threads.

The double post had nothing to do with merging the threads. If there were two identical posts in two threads and they are merged, both will show individually. The forum will sometimes double post if you double click the save button.

I can remove the second post if desired though. Smile

Gotcha. I remember seeing the double post in the original thread. For some reason, I thought she was referring to the back-to-back posts.


Yeah, it looks as if I answered twice...writing the exact same thing both times. Now, if I had that kind of memory, I would have taken the MCAT after all. Ha!

TESU responded. Students can use graduate credits from prior degrees just like they can use undergraduate credits from prior degrees. They just need to make sure they earn 24 new credits in the AOS.

Outstanding!!!

I can think of this really working to one's advantage when your undergrad degree doesn't match your grad degree well but you want to go back and check the box with a "matching" undergrad degree. I'm thinking of several who have some form of liberal arts undergrad that earned an MBA for instance.

Can you use them for your free electives?  Thanks.

Any college-level course can go in free electives.

Yes, but I'd be tempted to find something fast and cheap from one of the regular alternative credit sources for that just so I didn't tie up a potential grad credit that I might want to use in a master's degree. When you can grab something like Personal Finance to fill a spot like that, it just seems like overkill to use a graduate course.

Dave has a good point- and also, I think it matters about timing.

If you have a bachelor's and you're pursuing a second bachelor's, you're going to have to stay one step ahead of the process to be sure you don't lock any grad credits down inside a degree that you might need for a grad degree, because as nice as it is to downgrade a grad credit into an undergrad slot, I've read MULTIPLE places that grad level transfer credit earned as part of an undergrad degree is not accepted as grad transfer credit in a master's. This is especially interesting for people pursuing the 3+2 programs and don't finish.

Sad 
My question is how should the Diploma be printed out with a dual degree from TESU,
if you do a BS and BA, which title should be printed or which major should be come writing on the Diploma.

Yesterday i contact TESU via chat and i ask them if i can pay the flat fee to finish 2 degree by doing 2 capstone and the information literacy together and they said no.   I have to pay again for the second degree  eider residency or the flat fee option again.  Huh

Thats why my question if i do the dual degree i only pay once and finish a double major.
A dual degree is composed of how many credits  i guest 140 credit.

In progress:
TESU - ASNSM ASBA, UNIR- Master Cyber Security
Completed:
TESU - BA Computer Science

If you get a BS and a BA, you would have two diplomas and two degrees. Your major will never be printed on your diploma for either degree.

There is no set number of credits for a dual degree. You have to meet the requirements for both degrees, and need 24 credits in the area of study for each degree that weren't part of the other degree. In theory, this means a total of 144 credits, if I understand the requirements correctly.
Completed:
BA History & Psychology, Thomas Edison State University, March 2020

...

For a dual area of study, I would expect the two AOS to be listed on the transcript and a single diploma says BA or BS or BSBA, etc... For a second degree, I'd expect you to receive two separate diplomas.
