Hello all, I am somewhat new here, can’t find my old user name so I made a new one. I plan on enrolling into TESU as I did before. I knocked out about 15 SH there before life took over and I had to stop. I’m currently waiting for them to eval my JST and a few other things (CSMLearn, an ethics class I took, hopefully they accept it, and a few Sophia courses.) I’m looking at trying to use Study.com for most of my credits. Thinking an associates in business (no capstone) then perhaps a BALS with a concentration in business or computer. I am the type or personality who has to see tangible progress which is why I’m opting associates first. Plus it could help me get promoted at work. Have to have it turned in by Sept. (so it’s a slight possibility) hence the reason for study.com and also looking at coursea from Google. Just looking for guidance, once I get my eval I can be more open to what I have. Maybe talked off the deepens of a bad decision?

The mods are likely to move this to the Degree Planning Advice forum and you are going to need to list all your courses you have completed in detail. Until then...
Sophia is going to be the quickest and cheapest way to complete an A.S. in Business Administration by far. People here are going to push you to go for a Bachelors to get the free Associates at TESU or push you to UMPI. I can say with certainty from helping people in your situation that getting an Associates first really builds confidence. I have seen it be life changing for people.

I appreciate that. I was primarily going to use Study.com.
Which one is better/faster? Honestly I’m open to either or.

Sophia is faster and overall cheaper, especially with the discount codes.

Just about everyone here uses Sophia and they transfer fine to TESU. Every year it is possible for TESU to make changes here and there but overall Sophia courses transfer fine.

What was your alias before? If you're having trouble signing in, you can always email the admin/webmaster to investigate what issue you have, be it an account password or something completely different... It's best to provide more details that paint a bigger overall scenario by following the addendum and template here:
