Criminal Justice Associates? - Mab81 - 08-13-2018
Hi everyone,
I see TESU has an associates in Criminal Justice. Has anyone done an associates in this field? If so, did you go through TESU or another college?
Also, if anyone has a sample degree plan I would be grateful.
Thank you.

The nice thing about the TESU AAS CJ is it doesn't require a capstone. So you should be able to test out of the whole degree.

Do you mean a capstone or cornerstone?
The capstones seem to be for the bachelor degrees and the cornerstones seem to be for the associates. From what I can tell, it DOES require a cornerstone...? https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/aas/index
RE: Criminal Justice Associates? - MNomadic - 08-13-2018
All TESU undergraduate degrees, associates or bachelor's require the cornerstone. The cornerstone is only 1 credit, costs $300(I think) and should only take a few hours to finish. The cornerstone way be waived in some circumstances.
All TESU bachelor's require a capstone. All but a few tesu associates require a capstone. The capstone is typically 3 credits and costs $1000-1500.
The capstone has to be done at TESU.
The Associates that don't require a capstone are:
-AAS CJ
-ASBA
-ASNSM (math/biology/computer science)
-edit: & the generic AA

See how mine went.
Some test out, some CC courses.
You should be able to test out of most of it.

Nice!
I think the remaining AOS for CJ can be done with study.com & DSST.
