TESU AS and BA question

[bjcheung77]

Thanks davewill. Maybe I'm overthinking this and should just get them. Would you get the 3 degrees and use them on your CV or leave the Associates off. Could they actually be of benefit? Or is it merely no harm.  I have heard that many large employers are now using Clearinghouse to verify degrees so that they would see them regardless of whether you list them on your CV or not.

If they truly take no extra effort, I say go ahead and get them and list them. I don't believe that they would count against you in any way. However, I also don't think they are worth any extra effort, money or time. When I got my BACS, I was one course away from being able to get the ASNSM in CS at the same time, but it wasn't worth taking the extra course, for me, so I didn't bother.

As davewill mentioned, I see no downside to getting them. Me neither... I would just follow exactly as shadowgem recommended, in your cv or resume, just list the highest education level you have unless it's truly relevant to jobs you're attracting... Ex: Thomas Edison State University, Trenton, NJ. Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science

Heck, I was just a capstone course away from a BALS degree but didn't need another degree at the time, otherwise, I would have been on the same list as some people on here that have two associates and two bachelors from TESU. My BSBA is my "check the box degree", the associates were thrown in for free... makes me feel kind of like a trophy hoarder, haha...
