Last question! For a while at least. Is the TECEP the only option for Negotiations 401? Thanks so much.

CSU-Global has a couple like that (Conflict Management & Negotiation, and Communication Conflict & Persuasion) . Sophia has Conflict Resolution, but it's LL.

Are the CSU-Global ones UL? So I could probably ask for approval on one of the CSU Global tests? I'm hours and hours away from a TECEP testing center.

TECEP doesn't have testing centers - you take them from home through ProctorU.

Oh wow that's great news, I thought that they were like the UEXCEL tests which are very far from me. Thank you!

I also recently noticed that this page - BSBA Degree in HR Management/Organizational Management at Thomas Edison State University says I only need 3 Mathematics credits. On my plan I have:
-Quantitative Literacy (MAT 121) - Which I know is a solid requirement - Section A. of my plan - intellectual/practical skills.
-Statistics (STA 211) - In section E. Mathematics
-& Intermediate Algebra (MAT 115) - In section E. Mathematics

So I absolutely hate math - Are all of these completely necessary? I know that the Quantitative Literacy is non-negotiable but can that count as my 3 math credits if I add another free elective to my intellectual practical skills section?

And do I need 6 math credits for some reason or do you think they may have changed this since the time that you made my plan? It seems to say on the page that I only need 3 unless I'm looking at the wrong page or something.

If the Quantitative Literacy is not allowed to count as my math credits then can I just take Statistics OR Algebra as my math requirement and add other free elective of something else?
I also just realized that perhaps you put 6 math credits on my plan because I never specified that I wanted as few math courses as possible.

Sorry if I'm missing something! I'm trying to get better at understanding the degree requirements but it all gets quite confusing. Thanks!

From the page you linked to:

College Algebra or Quantitative Business Analysis within Intellectual and Practical Skills section of General Education requirements.
(3)
Statistics within Math section of General Education requirements.

(So you need both algebra and stats)

Does this mean I can do Quantitative Business Analysis And Statistics? OR - Intermediate Algebra and Statistics?
So two math courses instead of 3? My plan currently has Quantitative Analysis, Statistics, and Intermediate Algebra
I know Quantitative Literacy is technically Algebra so this is kind of confusing but I only need ONE Algebra course and the statistics to equal two math courses total correct?

If you go down to the bottom of the page, it lists additional requirements to the degree (which, honestly, it should just list up the top section somehow).

College Algebra and Stats are requirements for the BSBA degree, although not "requirements" for Gen Ed. But since they fit into Gen Ed areas, that's where they end up. Previously, Macro- and Microeconomics were also degree requirements that were not Gen Ed requirements - but that's where they ended up. Now, they've changed the degree to include those Econ courses in the actual degree requirements. It really would make more sense to put College Algebra and Stats in the degree requirements, and get rid of the Quantitative Analysis and Math requirements for the degree entirely, and make Gen Ed 54cr.

Anyway, ultimately, you need both of those courses, and they will fulfill the Quantitative Analysis and Mathematics sections. There is no getting around this (and at COSC and EC, you have those same requirements - although at EC, you need Precalc, so actually harder to get this requirement done for non-math people).

At TESU, if you fulfill a requirement with a course, you can't "double-dip," meaning you can't also use that course to fulfill another requirement. COSC does let you double-dip.

Okay thank you that makes more sense. So you're saying that Intermediate Algebra (MAT 115) DOES fulfill the Quantitative Analysis section and the Statistics fulfills the Mathematics section? So I don't need Quantitative Analysis AND Intermediate Algebra?
