TESU Second Degree Policy

[natshar]

I just wanted to inform people of this policy I did not previously know about and for those of you who want 2nd TESU degree but would like to avoid SOS-110.

Apparently after you complete one bachelors degree from TESU all gen eds and free electives are waived for future degrees. This means no SOS-110. However, 24 new credits that must be earned after the conferral of the first degree are required. Apparently this policy could change soon, but as of now (May 2019) it is still active, but just remember could change at any time.

So here is an example: I started off with a BSBA (under TES-100) on my evaluation and then I added a BA. Because TESU enacted a new policy somewhere around April 2019 that adding a new degree or changing degrees which feature a different school (liberal arts, business, etc) will be on the 2019A catalog and require SOS-110. So that meant my BSBA required TES-100 but my BA required SOS-110. I asked them to change it, but they denied it, as I've seen on this forum TESU is very strict on SOS-110 thing. Here's what I was told given that information if I wanted to pursue both degrees:

Scenario 1: I earn both degrees concurrently which would require a minimum of 24 different credits between the two degrees and a maximum of 9 credits can overlap in the AOS. I would need to take SOS-110 to earn the BA.

Scenario 2: I earn the BSBA first and get it confirmed. After that I start on the BA which would require 24 new credits to be earned after the date of the BSBA conferral. This would not require SOS-110 but I would have to pay the residency wavier twice, once for each degree.

I am not asking for advice about to do in my personal situation but more presenting this as useful information to anyone out there who is considering a second TESU degree.
