Question about TESU evaluation / transcript

[TroopsterX]

Wow thanks for detailed information, much appreciated. Which two courses do I need to take if I stick with TESU? I thought that I only had to take capstone with them.

All of the Big 3 (COSC, EC, TESU) require two courses, Cornerstone and the Capstone.  To elaborate, the TESU extension fee of $75 is for enrolled students, so if you took a TECEP or the TES-100 cornerstone, or enrolled with them before, you can get the extension for the catalog year.  If you have never taken anything from them, it's a re-apply at $50.

The cornerstone at the Big 3 are very simple courses, unfortunately, they are now required courses.  I really think it's just a money grab opportunity for the schools, there are no ways around it though... you may want to check out WGU as well.  Which degree/program are you planning to complete at TESU?

At this point in time, I highly suggest taking alternative courses that will "hit and meet" all the requirements for the Big3/WGU and apply to them afterwards, get like 90 credits or so before applying to COSC/EC/WGU... TESU is different, you usually want to apply and keep the catalog as they are the only one that makes several changes each year.

How long does it usually take to complete cornerstone?
