Help with BA in Economics?

[crownofhope]

Going through TESC, how can I fill up the area of study for a BA in Economics? There are several required courses (like intermediate micro/macro), that I can't even find anywhere to get that credit. Maybe if someone majored in economics they could show me their degree plans for the area of study? Anything would be helpful, I'm kind of stumped here. Thanks

Did you check out the degree forum Wiki? TESC Degree Plans - Degree Forum Wiki or Degree Forum Wiki. Also I think Straighterline offers some of the courses you need.

These links are very helpful, but I don't see any with economics? Maybe I'm overlooking it. Also it doesn't look like SL has anything a CLEP can't cover.

Sorry I was just trying to help I know less then nothing about economics. One other place you might find some help with choices id this equivalency paper.

Actually I don't remember many people talking about an economics degree from TESC. But maybe someone with a similar major can help.

UL economics courses are very hard to find, esp. Intermediate Micro/Macro. See if Eastern Oregon University or Oregon State University have them. Perhaps also Columbia College.

Be sure to take the Money & Banking DSST.

EDIT: maybe also Colorado State University or Athabasca University (Canadian, but with US regional accreditation).

Thank you so much! I hadn't known to look at those Universities before. Yes, I was sure to add on Money and Banking (I'm making a degree plan for someone else). Do you happen to know if there are any Finance tests that will go towards Econ upper or lower level credit?

That's a question that is best addressed to an adviser. My guess would be "No". Money & Banking can be applied to either finance or economics, but I'm not aware of another one.
You might find "International economics" more often than other UL courses.

EDIT: it looks like Oregon State's got quite a few UL economics courses, including econometrics. Check availability and eligibility: http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/soc/ecata...bject=ECON

Okay, I'll keep a note of that for when this student enrolls in TESC, just in case. International Economics is the only UL course TESC offers, but I found it in all the other Universities you mentioned, as well as a ton of other UL economics courses. Thanks a bunch!
