I want to address the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science and Technology (BSAST). Many U.S. sailors who graduate from the Naval Nuclear Power School are awarded close to half of all the credits needed for the BSAST. Some things to consider.
1.TESC seems to give the most credit for this military training while many other schools refuse to acknowledge NNPTC as a source of valid credits.
2.What percentage of the students awarded the BSAST are former navy nucs (graduates of NNPTC)?
3.Why has TESC not obtained Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) status? Could this have anything to do with the leniant standards on military training?
4.How important is it to have graduated from an ABET school?
Being a nuc myself, who is close to completing the BSAST, these issues are important to me. I hope there are others who want to shed some light on these matters.

I am a graduate of TESC (albeit with a Bachelor of Arts Degree) and an Alumni Ambassador. Have you directed your comments to TESC faculty and staff? If so, have you mentioned your concerns to them? I have networked with a number of people at TESC and would be willing to assist in trying to work out some answers for you to the best of my ability.
