Hello I was wondering if Thomas Edison (TESC) has a resident requirement. I was trying to get a job teaching developmental math at the local community college. It requires a Bachelor's in Mathematics or related field. I have a BS Liberal Arts from USNY now Excelsior 1990 and an MFA TV Production, Brooklyn College, 1996, and I did my first year of law school at Concord University, 2001. I have 15 college credits of Math (incliding Calc 1,2,3, Linear Algebra, Partial Diff Eq), and 13 credits of computer science, and 4.5 credits of Chemistry. I also took the Math CLEP. I was interested in getting TESC's BA in Math/ Natural Science. I have an additional 30 undergraduate credits from the Army that was never used for any degree. Does TESC has a resident requirement, if so is there another school that I can get a Math degree from? thanks
TESC does not have a residency requirement. The following is from the TESC web site http://www.tesc.edu/aboutus/faq/degrees.php "Second Baccalaureate Degree A student who has received one baccalaureate from Thomas Edison State College, or associate, professional, baccalaureate, master's or doctorate degree(s) from another regionally accredited college or university who wishes to earn a second baccalaureate degree, must complete a minimum of 30 additional credits beyond those credits completed on the date ALL prior degree(s) were awarded. The student must also meet all the requirements specific to the second degree. No more than 9 semester hours of credit can be used for the concentration/specialization (major) in the second baccalaureate degree that were used in the concentration/specialization (major) in the first or second baccalaureate, professional, master's or doctorate degree in the same area (major area of study). A student who has not received a baccalaureate degree but has more than 120 credits will be awarded a degree as follows: of the total, a maximum of 120 credits will be applied, if they meet the degree requirements, to the first baccalaureate degree. The student must follow the requirements for the second degree as outlined above. It is the position of the College that students should be advised to devote their academic endeavors to completing an advanced degree rather than an additional baccalaureate degree. Students contemplating a second baccalaureate degree will be advised to consider pursuing a master's or doctorate degree instead. "
