Moving credits around?

[dfrecore]

Have you checked with this graduate school if they will accept courses that show as "credit" only?

Some schools are more specific and want a certain number of graded credit to be taken directly at the school.

A decent number of my courses are from a B&M college, some courses are from RA universities, and I'm taking the TESU Non-Western Literature course. I'll be providing my TESU transcript, the credit evaluation of my B&M credits, and an introduction letter explaining my study path. I'm pretty sure that having some credit-only courses will raise an eyebrow or two, and that it'll weigh in the application, but I'm trying to balance this out with:

- High GPA for the courses that do have GPA (already have a high GPA with B&M college credits)
- Past work experience
- Good reference letters
- Courses that are directly related to the field and graduate degree—this is why I'm asking about taking education courses during the Capstone, and then switching some unrelated B&M courses for those

---

[...] then that credit will show in the transferred credit list whether they get used in your degree or not.

[...]

Okay, so what I'm getting so far is that courses are listed in a random manner, and that TESU courses are definitely listed (with GPA). Apart from that:
- The provider courses are listed, also in chronological/random order, with the equivalent name TESU has assigned to them, but with P/F only?
- If you don't apply credits to your degree, are they still listed? If so, why would credits not part of the degree be listed?
- Do graduate schools look at the courses you completed?

What I'm trying to avoid is say, having almost only music B&M courses as GEE and FE, for a BA in English, and applying for a master's in education. Wouldn't that look weird? I'm thinking it would possibly affect my chances of being accepted, and that having around 8 or so education courses could improve those chances. 

I'd therefore use my B&M to meet the 100-credit requirement to register for the Capstone, complete a bunch of education courses while I'm doing the Capstone, and then switch unrelated B&M courses with the education courses.

You are asking multiple questions here, not all related.

1) TESU will list everything you transfer in, like I said, nothing shows what is used for the degree or not. It is just a list.  BUT it doesn't matter, because

2) TESU only gives you a GPA for the courses you take through TESU.  You get a school GPA that's for THAT school.  Each school will give you a GPA for THAT school.  I took courses at 5 schools, so I have 5 GPA's.  If I were to apply to grad school, they would want all 5 of my transcripts, and they would calculate an internal GPA there using the grades I got from all 5 schools.  BTW, my TESU GPA is based on a single course.

3) No idea on what the grad school will look at, there is no one-size-fits-all.  Every school is different, programs within each school are different, everyone has different requirements.  No one here can tell you what a particular school will require.
