Straighterline's Financial Accounting

[superzim]

Does this qualify for TESU's BSBA GM Area of study?
It seems from what I have read that this would be a much easier course for upper level credit than taking the managerial accounting class from straighterline, plus there is the fact that I could have passed the class before the final if I do Financial Accounting instead of the Managerial accounting.

For those who have taken the financial accounting class from straighterline how much harder is it than Accounting 1 and 2?

My suggestion is to take all their accounting courses, in the following order
Accounting I ACC 101 comes in as TESU ACC 101 Financial Accounting
Accounting II ACC 102 comes in as TESU ACC 102 Managerial Accounting

Financial Accounting ACC 151 comes in as TESU ACC 201 Intermediate Accounting I.
Managerial Accounting ACC 150 comes in as Cost Accounting TESU ACC 303

The last two should be in the GM AOS and all of them are sequential I would say...

Yeah I just need one more class for the area of study since I already have one management class and a marketing one to cover the three required areas for the area of study and I've already taken a few other marketing courses to cover the rest of the area of study beyond the required 3 areas. I figured I'll go with the financial accounting since its a little more lenient and take that along with the accounting II from Straighterline. Already took accounting 1 awhile ago so I'm getting very close to the end of my journey for my degree.

Ok, I have an issue. I told TESU I would take financial accounting and managerial accounting at TESU, and they told me that they would fulfill my business core, and placed them in my evaluation as 101 and 102. Upon looking at my evaluation and the TESU/SL transfer page, it shows that managerial accounting transfers in as cost accounting, and financial accounting transfers in as intermediate accounting.

I have already taken managerial accounting, and planned to take financial accounting since I won't make it in the Davar deal. Now I am wondering if they were wrong, and that they will not count when I apply to graduate. They have them listed as follows.

1 ACC-102 Prin. of Managerial Accounting 02/02/22 --- ( 3.00) ACC-102
*PL *PTE
1 ACC-101 Prin. of Financial Accounting 02/02/22 --- ( 3.00) ACC-101
*PL *PTE

Any ideas? I'm trying to find out if I need to take 2 more accounting courses to replace the managerial accounting, and actually take SL accounting 1 and 2, instead of taking managerial accounting (done) and financial accounting (taking next month).

Yes, you took the wrong courses. The equivalency page on SL's website is correct. You should have taken Accounting I & II. It's a bummer - but with your passing those courses (which are a little more in-depth than Accounting I & II), you should get past I & II fairly easily.

Another option is to take the Saylor exams for BUS103: Intro to Financial Accounting and BUS105: Managerial Accounting. For $25 each, it's certainly worth a shot.

And, those 2 courses will go down in the AOS, one of which will be UL.

Thanks for the info, I guess my advisor screwed up when I told them my plans....and then I screwed up. Dang setbacks.

The advisor didn't really screw up - the requirement on the TESU website is "Financial Accounting." So when you said that you were taking financial accounting, the advisor assumed that you were taking a course that would come in as ACC-101 to fulfill that requirement. And SL does have that course. Unless they know SL well, and I'm guessing most do not, they wouldn't know that there were 2 different courses at SL, one called Financial Accounting that comes in as Intermediate Accounting, and one called Accounting I that comes in as Financial Accounting.

I know it's confusing, which is why it's always good to check sources when doing things like taking a SL course - they have the course equivalencies for TESU right on their website, and it tells you how it will transfer into TESU.

SL should really consider changing the names or clearly defining this for people. However, if you are doing college "level" work it is up to the person to make sure they are taking the correct course. In the long run you earned yourself an extra 6 credits so hey enjoy the extra credits you can finish up the right two really quickly.

As stated, I took one course, not two. I told TESU over the phone the names of 7 straighterline courses to place in my evaluation, by the SL names (Not the TESU name or number), and they placed the accounting courses in my evaluation in the business core. It was my bad for trusting TESU to place courses on the correct slots. I only paid 20 dollars to take managerial accounting thanks to a discount code, its just annoying that I spent the time to get it. And that sl managerial accounting isn't accounting 101 nor managerial accounting at TESU, which actually is managerial accounting and 101 from TESU. Kind of ridiculous. Oh well.

And since I'm taking Op man it doesn't apply . Oh well. If I passed that, maybe it means I can pass the correct ones .
