Course Concentration

[bjcheung77]

The question was to make sure I knew what I was doing when discussing which courses carry over and taking the TECEP to ensure that I don’t have to take any courses there other than the two that are required.

I would only enroll in a TECEP if you are wanting to continue your catalog year by using the TECEP to extend that date. The only two courses you need to take are the cornerstone and capstone within 1 year of your application. If that year isn't even close (some people finish the degree before 9-10 months), I would use the TECEP only to get credit for classes that can't be found elsewhere.

I would only enroll in a TECEP if you are wanting to continue your catalog year by using the TECEP to extend that date.  The only two courses you need to take are the cornerstone and capstone within 1 year of your application.  If that year isn't even close (some people finish the degree before 9-10 months), I would use the TECEP only to get credit for classes that can't be found elsewhere.

I would only spend the $1100+ on the cornerstone once I was completely finished with my other courses, because you never know what could happen.  So I advocate spending $150 (changed, was $75 for a while) on a TECEP until you were 99% completed and ready to do the cornerstone and capstone.

Otherwise, if you spend the big bucks to do the cornerstone, and then something happens and you can't finish the degree, you are kind of screwed.  I'd rather save the money until the end...
