1cr Ethics, or Saylor BUS205 Business Law and Ethics

[High_Order1]

So,

I have ETHICS 312 courtesy of the Institutes. COSC requires 3cr in Ethical Decision-Making, I am unsure about TESC.

Is there a 1cr course available?

Or, should I take the Saylor offering?

Is there anything online to help me through BUS205? I was reading the syllabus, some sections were saying they take 15+ hours to complete. Is that right??

Thanks in advance,

Wait, are you going to cosc, or tesu?

TESU gives you a waiver automatically, and adds the credit to what you need for Gen Ed Electives.

Saylor has either Business Law & Ethics or Environmental Ethics available. But there are additional ways to take ethics courses if you want to take them.

If you're going to COSC, you could always ask them what they're going to bring the course in as, and if they'll give you a 1cr waiver.

Neither.

I am credit snatching right now. I see that this seems bass-ackwards, but I was operating on the general ASSumption that general requirements are general requirements. Once I had them in line, I was going to apply to both and see what stuck.

Since posting this, I wonder if it transfers in as 3cr?

Anyway, I put up a TESU degree plan for the generals; I may be closer on that one than I am COSC.

I see this isn't a helpful answer - for that I apologize. lol

BAM

That's perfect. Thank you very much!

While there are a lot of similarities between gen ed requirements, the Big 3 do some things differently and can have a major impact on how you approach your courses. You should really narrow in on what you want to do and where you are going so you don't waste time on credits that don't help.

If you are thinking of applying to both schools, then I would make degree plans for both schools, and actually choose courses/exams that will work at both schools.

For instance, you need English Comp I at both, but you only need English Comp II at TESU - COSC lets you do a couple of other options instead. So, you could plan on English Comp II being used at both schools and take it without worry. But if you decided to take Tech Writing, then you would only be able to use it at COSC for your English Comp requirement. BUT, TESU will accept it for your Info Lit requirement, so you could take it. Just know that if you end up going to TESU, you will have to go back and take English Comp II.

COSC also requires 30cr of UL in their degree, so you need to take that into account there. TESU only requires 18cr of UL, 3cr of which are the capstone, and all the other 5 courses must be in your AOS. If you didn't plan your Gen Eds to include some UL, then if you ended up at COSC, you'd have to go back and find additional UL credits to replace the LL ones with.

So, I definitely wouldn't just take a bunch of courses and hope that it worked out, unless you have unlimited time and money, and didn't mind having to go back and repeat things once you thought you were done. That would be frustrating to me.
