TESU Simultaneous degrees - Need all credits in AOS or 24?

[natshar]

TESU counts it as 2 degrees, it's why I had to go to COSC for my "second" Bachelors, because TESU doesn't give out 3rd BA's.

I don't know about the diploma part, I haven't received it in the mail yet.

That's weird. Did you both of your BA's at the same time with the same conferral date? Because if you earned them both at the same time it would be one degree, they would just send would diploma. You would not be allowed to get another BA but you could get a BS or other degree. I talked to TESU about this.


Dual AOS (double major): One type of degree (BA, BS, etc) with two areas of study. Could be done in 120 credits with careful planning.

Two Degrees at the same time: This is where you need 24 different credits between the two degrees. If you are earning them both at once there is no gen eds waived for the second degree. However, you can use the same gen eds for both degrees if you would like. This would take a minimum of 140 credits. Both degrees would have the same graduation date. Like I said, TESU told there must be 24 different credits between the two degrees they said it doesn't matter where, however by default because of the limit of overlap between the AOS most of these 24 credits would come from the AOS.

Earning one degree and then coming back for a second: This is where all gen eds and electives are waived and you just need to do the AOS only. You would need 24 new credits earned after the conferral of the first degree all in the AOS. This also would take a minimum of 140 credits.
