Successfully getting into a CSU grad program?

[xbrad2]

Hello,

I want to thank you all so much I have been lurking this forum for years and took the jump 3 months ago and I'm already half way finished. I work as a bookkeeper and I'm looking to get my degree from TESU in Business Administration with a Concentration in Accounting. Once I'm done I want to go straight into a graduate program, but I'm wondering if I'll get accepted into any of my local universities with a degree from TESU with 3/4 of my credit being from exams? Has anyone on here went on to get a degree from a California State University? I live in Sacramento, CA and I'm hoping to get into CSU Sacramento or University Of The Pacific's Accounting Graduate program.

I have been accepted to both Cal Poly Pomona's MBA program and Cal State Los Angeles's MBA and MSHCA program. In order to gain acceptance into the MBA program, you must score a 500 minimum on the GMAT (easily done). I graduated from Charter Oak State College this year completing most of my credits in an untraditional manner (CLEP, DSST, Straighterline, UEXEL and TECEP's). It wasn't an issue.

Should I just send them my transcripts from TESU and the JC I briefly attended?

I sent transcripts from everywhere I attended including CLEP, DSST, Straighterline, TECEP transcript and UEXCEL.

The grad school will let you know what they need. From what I've seen, most will initially ask for unofficial transcripts during the app process and will then ask for official if accepted. But again, it is totally what the school asks for. American University asked for all unofficial and then all official one I was accepted.

Also many schools require only a bachelors, while others are looking for a certain amount of graded credits, and others are looking for rigor. The moral; grad schools all have different requirements, and its better to find out now before finishing your undergrad what your target grad schools need instead of finding out later that you are are missing something.

Georgia Tech asked for transcripts from all institutions I "attended". For me that was my CC, TESU, and the local university extension where I took one course. I didn't send CLEP or DSST scores, or my Saylor transcript, since those sources don't award college credit. I was awarded the credit by TESU. They accepted that.

Good stuff, congrats. I am assuming those programs mentioned above just requires an RA degree in business...
I'm just deciding to maybe add a list of possible grad schools that I might be interested in...
Just growing my list in addition to the 3 competency based degree providers I am considering.

@ bjcheung77 RA degree, not necessarily in business. 500 + GMAT score 3.0 GPA
