Degree Completion Advice Pierpont/TESU

[shadowgem]

Actually if, as allvia pointed out, he already has what he needs for ASNSM CS at TESU then he could graduate there in December. He just has to submit all transcripts, fees, applications etc by October 1st. Not sure if they could process it all in time, though. I would say go ahead and apply at TESU today! And send all transcripts today as well. Then you can see where he stands on the different degrees to see which is faster/shorter and prioritize accordingly. I'm not sure about the other chem options, I plan to just do chem clep eventually.

He would miss Dec graduation, as the Capstone needed for that just started (Aug 6) and I'd say try to apply and enroll (late) for the Capstone this semester but it is still unclear which Capstone he's in need of depending on TS or CS.  However he could very likely be done and graduate in March if he enrolls in the (correct) Capstone by Nov - https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/gr...nformation

The sooner he applies and sends in transcripts the sooner he'll know his path - it dose take TESU weeks for that first evaluation.

What is this job opportunity? What he does do (or want to do), as that could be the deciding factor. If it really is just to get a bachelor then he may be even closer to a BALS

Sorry for some reason my first reply did not go through. 

With the BALS I think he may be done excepting the capstone requirement but that would still only be possible to complete by March at the earliest I think. The job opportunity is as a liquefied natural gas technician and is more closely related to what he currently does for a living, but for 2x the pay and in a much nicer location (with forced relocation), closer to family and with several internal opportunities for growth if he can get his foot in the door. He does have a strong inside reference and they look for candidates with his current experience as well as math/science/technical backgrounds and related degrees. 

His original plan was human factors engineering (a combination of computer science and psychology), but at this point he's not 100% sure yet of his long term goals. His passion is with sciences and computers which is why he has been working on CS/Soft Dev degree program and exploring psychology courses for the last few years. He just does not want to miss the opportunity for major current career growth while he works towards his future career goals.
