Good to know, that's one of the reasons I switched to UMPI for now. It's a lot of work to insure that both AOS work together. That would also mean you technically need one of the required Biology courses to be UL, most likely Cell Biology, to complete the 15 credit UL requirement.
Biology at TESU seems pretty straightforward with the amount of required courses being LL science courses but it's pretty difficult to do unless you're in the U.S. For one, in Canada, our lecture and lab together count as 3 credits and you take both during the semester as one course, if you fail the lab, you fail the course, if you pass the lab but fail the course then you can request an exemption and only retake the lecture component. I had 6 required courses done if they'd all transferred properly, but they didn't, leaving me with a lot of retaking to do.
At least all of Bio, Chem and Phys l & ll can be taken at NMJC. But it's frustrating there aren't many alternatives, if you do the CLEP for any of those then you have to take the labs somewhere else and I couldn't find another source that does labs only. Hence why I switched to Psychology, but I hope you'll have better luck with the program than I did!
