TESU Requirements Assistance

Sophia is going to be the fastest and cheapest way to do Ethics, Knowledge of Human Cultures, and GE electives. If you do Sophia Ethics, take Greek Philosophy first.

Ethics: Introduction to Ethics
Knowledge of Human Cultures; pick one of: Microeconomics, macroeconomics, history (either), art (either).
GE Electives: Art (either), History (either) Approaches to Studying Religion, Environmental Science, Human Biology, Information Technology.

Thanks for the info. I will take a look at Sophia!

Are you active? I mean, if you're an active service person, I would highly recommend just taking the 24 credits, using TECEPS and take the easiest ones that apply to your degree! Those TECEPS DO COUNT towards residency, if you're not active, then that's another story, I would take the cornerstone/capstone and pay the residency waiver if you're not too keen to take extra classes at TESU. For remaining credits you need to work on towards finishing the BALS, you should review RachelAz83's generic plan here on the wiki: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ge...egree_Plan

TECEPs count towards residency?

[bjcheung77]

Essentially - Yes, for active service people, TECEPS count towards residency - for civilians, they do not. I highly recommend for active service people to use the Big 3 to complete their degrees, especially for TESU as you can get the degree really cheap/easy - somewhat fast: Here's the TESU link with more info: https://www.tesu.edu/military/tuition-fees

Unfortunately I am no longer active duty. I retired last year. I do receive the military rate though as I work for the Department of Defense as a civilian. I am not sure if that makes a difference though.

Ah yes, DOD is the only other option... You get the Military rate. Ask if the TECEPS count for residency, if it does, DO THEM FIRST!

I THINK (but am not 100% certain) that retired military can still use TECEP's for residency, so definitely ask about that and DOD.  If so, you NEED to do those to keep your fees down - no residency waiver.  Please report back on what they say.

I will find out and let everyone know. Thanks

I received a response back from TESU today. TECEPS do count towards the 24 credit residency requirement for DOD employees and military. I’m already taking their ethics class, but need to look at what TECEPS to take to finish off the rest of my non-capstone requirements.
