Hi All,
I am just starting out here, looking to get a basic bachelors degree from Thomas Edison before applying to a Physicians Assistant program. Over the last several years I have accumulated 48 credits through CLEP exams, and have another 30 credits worth of prerequisite courses I have to take for the PA program, and Iâm trying to figure out the best way of using these 78 credits in a TESC degree.
I donât mind doing the work of figuring some of this out, but donât know much about the TESC degree options, except that I have looked into a BSBA in General Management, which looks relatively simple, but doesnât use all of my courses, leaving me with âwastedâ credits. Some of you seem to be experts at this stuff.
Does anyone have a recommendation for how to best use my courses (below) at TESC?
I love learning, but right now I am focused on simply jumping through the hoop of getting the degree, except for the PA prereqs, which I need to know well. Cost and time are currently the biggest factors for me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
A.H.
