Finance Degree @ TESU w/Sophia

[rachel83az]

Pages on TESU only show options for the courses that they specifically offer. However, they will allow similar courses to fill those requirements. They do not have a generic "studying religions" class offered directly so they have given the Sophia course a course designation that doesn't correspond to anything they have. You don't need REL-405 for a finance degree. Sophia's offering will work just fine.

For the general education requirements, check https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap

I will try to get a Finance degree plan spun up in a few hours. I'm working on revamping all the plans currently on the wiki.

Thanks! I actually just finished creating my plan and I'm now comparing it to the one you made.

You have business law listed under sophia.org but from what I can tell sophia doesnt have a business law course?

Also what is LL and UL? The plan doesn't include gen ed stuff right? So I'd just use the plan I already made for those 610 credits?

[rachel83az]

Sophia does have Business Law. See here: https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/business-law

LL is lower level, UL is upper level. Each degree MUST have a certain number of upper level credits. You can go over this minimum requirement but you are not allowed to have fewer UL credits and still graduate.

That page doesn't have gen ed stuff, no. Check out the roadmap page linked to at the top to make sure that your plan will fit within what's known to be accepted.

Ah, I had to refresh my browser. It's new I guess? Wasn't showing up before. Here's what I got so far.

I. General Education Requirements (60)
A. Intellectual and Practical Skills (15)

(6) English Comp 1&2 (Sophia)
Oral Communication
(3) Technical Communication (TECP)
Quantitative Literacy
(3) College Algebra (TECP/TEL)
Information Literacy
SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy (TESU Class)
(3) 
B. Civic and Global Learning (9)
Diversity

(3) Intro to Ethics (Sophia)

C. Knowledge of Human Cultures 
(9) U.S History 1&2 (TEL), Public Speaking (Sophia)
D. Understanding the Physical and Natural World
(4-7) Intro to Biology (TEL), Chem 1+lab (TEL)
E. Mathematics
(3) Intro to stats ( Sophia)
F. General Education Electives
(18) Not sure yet.

The only thing I'm fuzz on is if the intro to ethics course on Sophia can go where I put it, and if I need to just enroll in SOS-110 at TESU because it seems to be the only option? I should have 25 RA credits here. Lastly, can I just put whatever classes I want for the last 18 gen ed electives? I was hoping I could just fill them with random Sophia classes to save money.

[rachel83az]

Yes, Sophia's Intro to Ethics fits right where it is.

SOS-110 is the cornerstone class. It is required to come from TESU. It looks like you have 8 RA courses that are not SOS-110, that's exactly what you need.

You don't have to pay for the Chemistry Lab unless you really want to. TESU doesn't require a lab course.

If you do everything at Sophia that doesn't overlap with what you're doing at TEL (for instance, skip US History at Sophia because you're doing that at TEL), that should fill up your electives. Also, don't do the foundations course or college readiness. They won't transfer in.

Isn't this only 7 RA if SOS-110 doesnt count? 

Oh, I just put the lab their to hit 7 credits because I need at least 4 and the only classes in that requirment that had 4 was something with a lab.

[rachel83az]

You need 24 RA credits which works out to 8 courses. Add the capstone and cornerstone, 30 total. The lab is 1 credit and has no bearing on anything. Not taking it will save you a little money.
