Dumb question
Can I enrol into Thomas Edisons bachelor degree program without a AA degree? How does that process work? I do have many credits to transfer but currently no degree. Will they simply take all my credits and hand over an AA degree if I have all the classes I need and set me up into the BA degree program?

I'm sure you can enroll in a Bachelors's Program without an Associates.
They MAY find your accumulated credits enough for an AA degree right off the bat. Did you look at the requirements on their website for a particular AA degree? Probably the best/easiest thing to do is to pay TESC the application fee, send in all your transcripts, and have them evaluate your situation. Then you know EXACTLY where you stand.

Quote:
Greggy is right. You don't need an AA first. They offer it as a choice, but many people in this world enroll directly in a university and never have the choice of earning the AA. It's really up to you. (I decided to do it- there is a thread here somewhere) If you apply to TESC you will have to write on your application the degree you are interested in- you can always change later- but they can't just evaluate credits without a degree goal in mind. Select the BA on your application- the AA is easy to figure out because the credit distribution will be the exact same thing- only fewer in each categor. (you'll see what I mean if you compare both- but if you decide on the Business degree, this IS NOT the case). Also, you CAN enroll in both. That's what I did! I had enrolled for my BA, but when I decided to get my AA too, I added it to my plan. Both evals appear in my student file- so I can view both online at any time. I should mention that the only disadvantages of doing both are that you will have to pay a second graduation fee of $250, and your graduations can't be at the same time. So if you get your AA in June, you'll have to get your BA in September.
