Revision as of 22:20, 27 December 2022

Previous Catalog

If you're still on the old catalog, you can check out old catalog requirements for suggestions on classes to take.

Information

Obtaining just an Associate's degree through TESU is only slightly cheaper than obtaining a Bachelor's degree. Therefore, it is recommended that you go straight for a Bachelor's degree if you have chosen TESU. If you need an Associate's degree as soon as possible for work purposes, check the Associate's degrees page for options that should be faster/more affordable.

The below plans assume that you are already following the General Education requirements roadmap for a Bachelor's degree and you would like to obtain an Associate's degree "for free" along the way. You may need to bring in additional classes to TESU but the below degrees do not require an additional capstone or any other additional TESU fees as long as you graduate with both the Associate's degree(s) and the Bachelor's degree(s) at the same time.

A student is permitted to get up to 2 Bachelor's degrees and 2 Associate's degrees total through TESU.

Note regarding the ASNSM degrees: TESU counts all the ASNSM degrees as one degree with multiple concentrations. You are permitted to choose 2 concentrations in a single degree (this rule applies to Bachelor's degrees as well). If you choose the ASNSM in Computer Science and the ASNSM in Mathematics, TESU counts this as one degree and you are permitted to choose a second Associate's degree. The same is true of Computer Science & Biology or Mathematics & Biology.

Certificates

A student who does not wish to obtain a full Associate's degree in addition to their Bachelor's degree may still wish to take a look at what undergraduate certificates are easily available. Certificates also have more subjects available that are not available as Associate degrees.

Associate in Arts (AA)

This one is the easiest to get. If you follow the General Education requirements roadmap, and finish everything at Sophia that does not overlap with the RA credits that you've chosen, you will automatically complete the requirements for this degree. However, this degree is considered relatively worthless due to its lack of specialization. It is highly recommended that you choose one of the other degrees on this page instead of opting for this one.

AA with Emphasis in Music

This degree is not considered an online degree by TESU because they only offer some of the credits necessary. Most of them need to be brought in from elsewhere. There are no alternate sources for the credits, you must use RA sources. If you happen to already have all (or most) of the required credits, this could be a good degree for you.

TESU offers both Music History I & II. Students may find it more affordable to take these two classes from TESU directly, perhaps as part of a 16-credit term as outlined on the TESU page.

Course Expected Recommended Course to Take Recommended Provider
Music History I Music History of the Western World 1: Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Berklee Online - $1497
Music History II Music History of the Western World 2: Classical, Romantic, and Modern Berklee Online - $1497

AAS, Criminal Justice

21 credits are required in the AOS for this degree. It is slightly more difficult than some of the other Associate's degrees in that a number of very specific courses are required. It is suggested that you pre-plan this degree with your advisor to ensure that you are bringing in the required classes.
