what do the TESU degrees say? - saraholson - 05-21-2019
I found some posts that indicate the BALS concentrations don't show on the degrees, but i don't see anything about the BSBA degrees. I am doing the BSBA in CIs - will it only say Business Administration? Or does it also say CIS?
RE: what do the TESU degrees say? - allvia - 05-22-2019
For TESU it reads "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration" - no matter which concentration you have.

The AOS only appears on the transcript for every TESU degree as far as I know. Only the major appears on the diploma itself.
RE: what do the TESU degrees say? - Supermind - 05-22-2019
Will the transcript clearly state which courses were completed as part of the AOS? During the course of my academic evaluations, TESU just kept juggling my AOS courses. Except for the upper level courses, and the required courses, they seemed to basically include anything they wanted in the AOS. Now that I have applied for graduation, should I clearly state which courses I would like to be represented as AOS?

They just list all courses taken, and don't show it like the eval. Just an FYI, I've seen MANY transcripts, and NONE of them show it the way you think. They all just list transfer credits, courses by term, and then the degree granted.
And even though I have a lot of graded credit from 4 colleges, none of that is on TESU's transcript. Again, NO transcripts I've ever seen include previous graded credit in their GPA calculations. It's an internal scoring, to make sure that you should or shouldn't be admitted to the school.
My transcript just lists it like this: every course I took (whether or not it was used in the degree) by course provider, including number of credits, and grade if I took the course at TESU.
TRANSFER CREDITS
College 1
course #, course name, # of credits
College 2
course #, course name, # of credits
College 3
course #, course name, # of credits
College 4
course #, course name, # of credits
ASSESSMENT CREDITS
TESU-ACE
course #, course name, CR, # of credits
TESU-DSST
course #, course name, CR, # of credits
TESU-CLEP
course #, course name, CR, # of credits
TESU-NCCRS
course #, course name, CR, # of credits
INSTITUTIONAL CREDITS
Term (so like October 2015)
course #, course name, CR, # of credits
Term GPA N/A
Cumulative GPA N/A, Total Credits (this is cumulative)
(these were my TECEP exams - for TECEP's I didn't take or didn't pass, I got a W instead of a CR.)
Term
course #, course name, Grade, # of credits
(this was my capstone course)
Term GPA (this was my grade for my capstone)
Cumulative GPA (capstone grade), Total Credits (cumulative)

This shouldn't freak you out. The thing you frame will say "Bachelor of Arts" or "Bachelor of Science" which is normal.
Allvia says it will ALSO say Business Administration, which is kinda unique - mine's a BA, so it doesn't have anything else.
Your transcript will have all your goodies- credits earned / majors / concentrations / aos / etc.
That's the industry standard.

No, the transcript doesn't indicate what courses were slotted where. It just shows the courses that were included in the degree and where they originate.
JSD was kind enough to provide a photo of his TESU transcript in this forum post if you'd like to take a look to see what they look like. Mine looks nearly identical format wise.

Same. The only difference on mine is that the right side lists the classes I took at TESU broken down by semester.

Could you please tell me what the physical diploma says for the ASNSM in Computer Science? Does it mention Computer Science? Thanks.

I can't even remember what it says on my ASNSM diploma. My diplomas are in boxes. Unless you're a healthcare professional working in a clinic or office, no one is going to be looking at your diplomas.
