Hello, I have more or less selected TESC's BS/AST in CST to finish my degree. I'm somewhat confused by the information on their website. They specify some very general requirements for the degree. I'm having a hard time associating my 90 odd hours with their degree outline. Are any of you currently enrolled in this program? I'm hesitant to apply and pay the transfer credit evaluation until I have a pretty good idea of how my credits line up with the program. Any suggestions???? Thanks, Jason N.
It is possible to have Thomas Edison State College to review your existing transfer credits for a fee of USD400.00 (I think) without enrolling and if you subsequently enroll they reduce the tuition fee by USD400.00. Here is the credit hour and subject area breakdown from the College Catalog 2005-2006, page 48, for Thomas Edison State College. General Education: 54 s.h. A. English Composition: 6 s.h. B.

What qualifies as Humanities at TESC? Is it an actual Humanities class? Will they take my History or Government classes? My assumption is that history would fall into the social science area... Thank you for your info!!!
Humanities include: Art, Communications, English, Foreign Languages, Journalism, Humanities, Music, Philosophy, Photography, Religion, Theater Arts Social Sciences include: Anthropology, Economics, Criminal Justice, History, Labor Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Social Sciences, Sociology This information is how the categories of humanities and social sciences are defined for the Bachelor of Arts in Natural Sciences/Mathematics degree.
Well.... I had pretty much decided on TESC... BUT, Excelsior's CIS program looks good too. Anyone have any pros/cons on Excelsior I should take into consideration?? Jason
