Finishing a B.S with Inv studies at charter oak with Health/Education concentration. Last minute I have decided to drop the Health and add a Business Concentration.
My questions is will Charter Oak allow straighterlines Personal Finance course for the Business Concentration ? I know for the pure Business Concentration the answer is no its a free elective, but I was wondering with Inv studies if they would allow it to be used towards the Business concentration ?

Of course, the only true way to know is by asking COSC. But, IMO I still think the answer is no. Personal Finance is usually a self development type course. Some schools require it of freshmans so they don't blow their student aid and max out all their credit cards. Its almost universally not considered a business course. It's closer to home economics than business.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

That Makes Sense, what about Intro to Business ? I can not find any info on if that can be used towards business concentration.

My advice is to email your advisor and ask if SL's Intro to Business can be used for the business concentration. That's the only way to know for sure.
