TESC degree plan - Outis - 02-03-2015 After all of my transcripts arrived at TESC, it looks like I have 126 credits, but still have a ways to go to fulfill the necessary requirements. I am pretty sure the BA LS is the quickest route. These are the requirements that I need to meet, with my planned source of credit in square brackets: ENC-102 [SL English Composition II ] Math [SL Business Statistics or Statistics] Intellectual and Practical Skills [??? TEEX ???] Diversity or Global Literacy [????] Responsible Ethical Leadership [?? SL Principles of Management] Personal and Social Responsibility Elective [?? SL Personal Finance] 11 credits of Gen Ed [SL Western Civ I, Western Civ II, American Government, US History II] Any help is appreciated. I am outside the country at the moment, and would like to avoid going to a testing center for CLEP/DSST. I have to say I am eerked that I don't fulfill the "diversity or global literacy" requirement when I have excess credit that has not been applied, which is simply labelled "MSC Military Intelligence" or "MSC Military Science", but definitely covers topics of other cultures, and certainly made me globally "literate". When I pay the enrollment fee should I request that my excess credit be reviewed again? I think I will anyways, but just wondering if other folks have had these issues in the past. I have a feeling it won't matter, because if the wonder-workers here give the thumbs up to the above plan, I think I will put the jetpack on and finish this in < 2 months (which may be faster than responses from TESC advisors, kidding....sort of).

Sanantone has provided an awesome reference list for gen ed credits, please take a look at the following options, and decide which would be best for you.

Sanantone has provided an awesome reference list for gen ed credits, please take a look at the following options, and decide which would be best for you. Thanks, I have looked at Sanantone's plans and they have been useful. Anything that requires me to go to a test center (CLEP, DSST, ECE) is a nogo. I have gone through all of the possible degrees in the student portal, and my prospects are a BA in Humanities or a BA in Liberal Studies. The BALS is less strict with specific credits, so that is what I am focusing on. After this, I plan to enter a post-baccalaureate program. Revised after reviewing Sanantone's wiki: ENC-102 [SL English Composition II ] Math [SL Business Statistics or the new Saylor/SL Statistics] Intellectual and Practical Skills [SL Introduction to c++] Diversity or Global Literacy [SL Introduction to world religions] Responsible Ethical Leadership [SL Business Ethics] Personal and Social Responsibility[??? Still unsure, didn’t see it here.] 11 credits of Gen Ed [SL Western Civ I, Introduction to Philosophy, American Government, US History II] Thanks!

Very good advice, will heed. I will be going the SL/Saylor route for Statistics, the $25 option. I didn't like the ALEKS format, but I deal with dyscalculia, so it's not you, it's me baby.

I am about to pull the trigger and send TESC a boatload of cash, but before I do I want to make sure my plan is good to go. TESC degree plan - cookderosa - 02-03-2015 Outis Wrote:Thanks!

I don't think stats counts as the math requirement, but I'm not as up to date on TESC gen eds as I used to be. Maybe someone else can confirm? TESC degree plan - KayV - 02-03-2015 Unfortunately, Stats does not count for the math requirement. Saylor (not Straighterline) Beginning Algebra counts as MAT-121 College Algebra at TESC, though, if ALEKS doesn't work for you. It is a very Beginning Algebra sort of class. An even better option would be the TECEP for MAT-105 Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics. Good luck!

I didn't make a Personal and Social Responsibility Elective category because any diversity or ethics course will work. Was there recently a possible change with the TEEX courses counting as Intellectual and Practical Skills or was that something else? TESC degree plan - Outis - 04-17-2015 Thank you sanantone, KayV, cookderosa, defscarlett, and all of the regulars at DF. I managed to scrape by the initial Intermediate Algebra ALEKS assessment with a 71%, so my math credit is completed. I'm currently taking the capstone course, along with 7 TECEP's to meet residency requirements. This should be my last undergrad semester. I will end up finishing my BA two years after leaving the service, and have used less than 10% of my GI Bill benefits. If I would have found this awesome community beforehand, I could have saved even more time and money. But that's water under the bridge. I am going to try and pay it forward by reporting my TECEP experiences. Thanks DF! TESC degree plan - cookderosa - 04-17-2015 Outstanding!!! Congratulations on getting your plan set out, that's half the battle imo, because once you can see the goal post- you just have to work your plan. What are your plans for your GI Bill $? Grad school perhaps? |
