Read up on the Per Credit Tuition plan. You need 12 credits of residency at TESC for an associates and TECEPs count

Darn, when did that go into place? Where can TECEP tests be taken?

Edit: does General Studies no longer exist as a degree?

I'm not sure. Maybe two years ago. You can take the TECEPs online using ProctorU.

I'm wondering how many of these apply to the Associate of Arts? Thomas Edison State College: Associate in Arts

Since the General Studies degree seems to not exist anymore.

6 Prior Credits (Humanities)
12 FEMA Credits

Passed: DSST Intro to Computing, CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature, CLEP English Composition, DSST Substance Abuse, CLEP US History 1, DSST Environment & Humanities, DSST Management Information Systems, CLEP Principles of Macroeconomics, ClEP Principles of Microeconomics. CLEP Humanities, ALEKS Intermediate Algebra

OK, I did a little more research, and unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have to take these:

DSST Public Speaking
Environmental Ethics TECEP
CLEP American Government
Introduction to Sociology TECEP
Operations Management TECEP
Strategic Management TECEP

I've already scheduled American Gov and Public Speaking.

A few questions:

1. Is studying for the CLEP Introduction to Sociology the same as TECEP? I see InstantCert doesn't have a study guide for it
2. Any resources to study for Environmental Ethics TECEP? Nothing on InstantCert for this.

Thanks all!

The Environment Ethics class is supposed to be based off of the open course at Saylor.org.

Just to confirm, 12 TESC credits are needed for any Associates, no matter how it's paid for? (Tuition vs pay by credit)

The way I understand it you can pay the $3000 or so under the middle option enrolled tuition and you can get the degree with no residency requirement and you have all the requirements met. The residency requirement is just for the pay by credit. That would be a few thousand dollars less.
