  TESU BACS or BSTS planning advice
Posted by: filic46 - 09-24-2025, 01:04 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (2)

Your Location: Slovakia
Your Age: 42
What kind of degree do you want?: BACS or BSTS?
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 134.5 + 9? see below (only C and better courses) 
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?:NA
Budget: $7000 this could be more once I will start job however I will have less time to study
Commitments: fulltime job in 3months, 
Dedicated time to study: next 3 months full time student afterwards 15-20 hours a week.
Timeline:4-6 months finishing most of the needed courses asap
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: NA


Some background, I have studied abroad (Europe - EU) and have already my WES transcript at hand, see courses below (only C and better). I have applied to TESU and sent transcript from WES already for evaluation. I have already taken 3 courses via TEL education: College Algebra, Introduction to IT, Music appreciation so I have 9 credits from MID-American Christian University and want to use them to waive TOEFL requirement for international students.
I have studied SW engineering at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology so I have Engineering and CS courses, however I am missing a lot of general education courses. I am aware that I need to take English COMP I+II, Public Speaking, and probably American Gov. + American History I at least. I would like to ask what would be fastest way to achieve BACS (or BSTS)?. From what I see at TESU site BACS would need additional Data Structures and BSTS Introduction to Statistics and Project Management, besides other courses that I am not aware of now (awaiting evaluation). What would be the best approach to take missing general education courses which provider should I use and what are the effortless options for them.

My aim is to finish one Bachelor's degree and go for Masters in Cybersecurity at TESU (not sure if someone has experience with this one). I am currently working in cybersecurity. After finishing Masters degree I might want to go back to finish second Bachelor's degree if it is worth the effort. 

Some more background:
I like Math and Science. For me it is very tedious to learn something like Music appreciation/Philosophy, however I have very good memory and can get through it if needed (my morale is suffering however). I like TEL education approach with lot of tests/quizzes. I don't mind proctored test however it is nice perk if it is not needed. I am very detailed oriented so writing is taking me ages ( it needs to be perfect ...).
Thank you for your help.

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I got accepted to University of the People's BS Health Sciences. Can someone share their degree plan? I want to know what courses in that degree I can test out and transfer credits in. I have a BS in Business Administration from Charter Oak State College. Is transferring credits easy?

  Canada to US (TESU)
Posted by: Pi-kachu - 09-22-2025, 07:10 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Your Location: canada 
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: BA math/CS and BS data science and analytics
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 40 credits from a 4 year university in canada (applied mathematics) 15 credits from community college in Massachusetts US. HS diploma from Massachusetts as well.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none, planning to take the maximum I can 
Any certifications or military experience?: none
Budget: preferably 1 term at TESU @ max credits (15 cr) so I don't have to pay the residency fee
Commitments: none
Dedicated time to study: full time
Timeline: 6 months

I just applied to TESU and will send them both my transcripts once accepted, my main goal is to graduate within 1 term so I dont have to pay for another, is that possible with the degree I chose? I saw many double degree vs double major and from what I understood, its possible to get two degrees that both have double majors. Plus two associates that each have double majors as well. Is that something possible in 1 term or they will not allow it.
I will make a spreadsheet and list all the ACE credits that will be accepted once I get my transcripts evaluated. Will they accept Canadian transcripts or I need to send them to WES?

  Modern States Intro Sociology for Voucher?
Posted by: JayKosmos - 09-22-2025, 04:23 PM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (2)

I just registered and all I can find for Intro Sociology is the legacy course.
I just wanted to go through them for the voucher at the end.
Is there a replacement course that offers the voucher for that test?

I started all this over a decade ago but I see a lot has changed since then. RIP Fema Sad

  BA CS +BS CIS +Possibility of an associate?
Posted by: Nish - 09-22-2025, 12:14 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (13)

Hello everyone, I’m planning to complete both a BA in CS and a BS in CIS at TESU. From what I’ve read, it’s possible to graduate with both simultaneously. My question is: can I also add an associate degree to this mix? For example, if I take a few extra courses (like Precalculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics), could I also earn an Associate in Math along with the BA in CS and BS in CIS? In other words, is it possible to graduate with all three degrees at the same time? Thank you in advance! Smile

  Anyone had any specific information on what classes I should take on Sophia

Hey everyone! I’m currently enrolled at UMPI for a history focused degree and I currently am sitting at about 21 credits. I was wondering if anyone had any specific information on what classes I should take on Sophia. And if it’s possible to transfer these credits over! Thanks for your time.

  TESU - Easy RA Credits
Posted by: Paperplanes - 09-21-2025, 07:28 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

I'm back!! Thanks for all the help and guidance on this forum, its very helpful. 

I saw a post where someone is looking to complete a Associate at TESU while doing the Bachelor in the future. I am thinking of doing a similar thing. I don't have RA credits so I would need 15 RA credits for the Associate and 30 for the bachelors. 

I'm looking for guidance on how to obtain these. I've been looking at TECEPs, TEL, and UMPI. My game plan was to get all the harder classes in and complete the LL or somewhat easier classes at TESU. (Does that make sense?). For better understanding here's the remaining courses I need. I might be missing one. 

English Composition I
English Composition II

COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOC-1010: Introduction to Sociology

Introduction to Psychology 
SOS-110 Information Literacy
BUS-421 Business Administration Capstone

PHI-130 Introduction to Critical Reasoning - Transfer but I should take this for RA
GOG-230 World Geography - Maybe I could take this.


If anyone knows of a way to get RA credits fast, I am open to suggestions. Since most of these could also be completed at Sophia. Or should I stick to my original plan and complete these classes at TESU
