Thanks to Kab for pointing this out! According to https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/current/...of-Degrees TESU no longer restricts you to two degrees total, per level. Now, it appears that TESU themselves will only award two degrees total (per level), but you are allowed an "unlimited" amount of other degrees.
Previously: if you had a BALS from COSC and decided that you needed a degree in English and a business degree to progress in your career, you could only get one of those from TESU. Or, if you had a Bachelor's degree from Spain and a Bachelor's degree from Italy, but you needed an American degree, your only choice at TESU would have been to get a Master's degree.
Now, it seems you can already hold multiple degrees and still get a TESU degree at the same level!
TESU may not be the rock-bottom cheapest way to get "any" degree, but they are the cheapest/easiest way to get certain degrees. So, this is potentially great news for students.

Math & computer science (not IT), mostly. Possibly Psych (I haven't sat down and calculated TESU vs. EC). If you don't want to do competency-based, possibly English or History.

Do you know the requirements? I already have an AA and BA from TESU from 2011 in Liberal Studies. I was 1 class away from History degree. Can I take that one class and get the history degree? If so, wonder what the cost would be?

If you already have a TESU degree, you need 24 NEW credits. If you start a new thread that lists all the credits you already have, we can help you to determine if it's worth going back to TESU for a History degree. But it would probably be cheaper and easier to go to UMPI for a history degree instead.

Gotcha! I thought I was missing something from your post. Not interested in completing 24 more credits for another degree at the same level. I'd just go for a masters. Any ideas on that? Quick and cheap. Subject can be anything.

Yes, it does appear that you would be allowed to get another TESU degree. If you do go back, let us know how it goes!

Man, it's a bummer that TESU won't even waive the application fee for Alumni, apparently. I just wanted to mess around with the "What If" evaluator again
