Trying to get a degree fast

[frankc]

What's your end goal? If it's just a Bachelors, then a TESU BA Psychology is an option.  If you're looking to move up to a Masters in Psychology, you can go for a MS Psychology at Walden, it just requires a BA in anything.  Example for Walden, BA LS Social Science and then ladder to MA Psychology.

Thanks for the response! Just bachelor's degree, preferred in Psychology(I already took many courses in Psychology). I might also work towards a computer science degree later but for now I just want to get it done.

FWIW, you can only get two degrees from TESU. So, if you get Psych "for now" and then Comp Sci from them later, you can't go back and get a business degree (if you find you need one to get a promotion) from TESU; you'd have to go elsewhere. On the other hand, if you do both Psych and Comp Sci at the same time, that only counts as a single degree. Getting a dual degree can still be faster & easier than getting a single degree at a more traditional school.

Thank you for your detailed response! I'm starting to think about getting a dual degree or Psych + associate computer science, It seems very easy to get an associate computer science degree from TESU along the way.

While waiting for the TESU I just got my evaluation for EC done. Somehow they put my UC Berkeley UL courses as LL so I’m going to email them about this. For now the evaluation shows I still have 47 credits remaining. Here are the courses that I’m missing:

Written English 2
Natural Science
Information Literacy
ID History and Systems/Hist of Psychological Foundations
Cornerstone
Psychology Capstone
IIA Biopsychology
IID Abnormal Psychology


And 25 credits remaining, I'm wondering what courses would fit into this category? I read somewhere that I could take ATCFL language exam and get credits for it(I’m fluent in Japanese and Chinese).

What Berkeley courses? Just because Berkeley considered a class to be UL doesn't mean other schools will nor does it mean it will transfer as UL. 

Info lit, cornerstone, and capstone must be taken at EC.

Two Psych courses, they just updated it to UL, EC is really quick on their Evaluations.

Nice that they updated the courses for you.

Yes, they just didn't realize that Berkeley's course numbering system is funky, I'm not at all surprised they updated those for you.

Yes, I would definitely take the ACTFL exams for credit - especially if you can get the OPI or WPT exams which have UL credit.  Each exam is worth 12cr (6UL and 6LL) if you score high enough.

Wow that's a lot credits for one language exam!Thank you for the response I appreciate it!

So I got "Superior" on both Japanese and Chinese so that's an easy 24cr. Now the Excelsior will be the clear winner for me, 97cr transfer in compare to TESU'S 83cr.
Here are the courses I still need to take for EC:
1)English 2
2)Natural Science
3)History and System Psychology
4)Biopsychology
5)Abnormal Psychology
6)Information Literacy
7)Corner stone
8)Capstone

Does anyone have any recommendations where I should take these courses at?
That would be 119cr and I'd still need 1cr free elective to finish the degree.
Thank you guys!
