The reason I imphasized title driven domination over course description is because this is exactly what TESC told me! I had 4 courses and 12 credits in private voice from the NASM accreditied Rome College of Music at the Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC. On initial evaluation, I didn't even get 200 level credit for any of these courses when by TESC course description they should have been crossed to TESC MUS-142.143,225,226 Applied Music.
During the post eval 30 day window formal appeal process, in which I submitted documentation which showed by course description and syllabus that my courses at CUA were the usual music major performance by jury Applied Music courses, TESC responded that my sophomore courses would be upgraded to MUS-250.251 Voice III,IV but not to their Applied Music because the CUA course titles were Private Instruction Voice and did not include the word Applied! By the way this appeal process was very friendly and cordial. TESC even apoligized for initially missing a CC credit by exam course!
The issue of course tiltle came up again and again as I tried to find online UL music school courses. Even a graduate level course in jazz history would not count at TESC as UL because they already had courses at LL with the words jazz and history in their titles.
