So the requirements for the BSBA in General Management at TESC have slightly changed:
BSBA in General Management Degree Program
And I'm a bit confused! Can you help me figure out a degree plan for this (using mostly CLEP and DSST)? Thanks!

If you want to get started right away and I am sure you do I would recommend getting the REA books for the CLEP:
Do the following and maybe in this order since marketing is easiest. These are a big part of the core of the BSBA.
Once you finish those then work on other gen eds.
marketing
management
microeconomics
macroeconomics
business law
Don't worry about getting an accurate degree plan right away. Get started on the CLEPing now.
Do not over-analyze your degree plan and try to stay focused. Good luck.

Thank you all for the help! I will definitely keep on going with the CLEPs. I just wanted to make sure I'm not taking tests that are not required anymore, and missing required tests that were not needed in the older version of the degree. I will double-check this and add more specific questions in a new post.

You should have your own degree plan in an Excel or something. That is what I did.
Put down all the required courses and which CLEP/DSST/SL you think will fulfill that. When the new reqs come out you just update your spreadsheet and move on.
How many CLEPs do you have done at this point? I would recommend a pace of 3 per month.

Hey how do you manage this? The school that does testing near me only does one test every two months! LOL I am already trying to find another location so I can do a test on the off months, but that still just gives me one per month.
Do you have a really good test site or just using a lot of different ones?

Saw your question to someone else but I'll post my experience. My community colleges here are all one a month and their customer service is terrible. I live in an area with a number of quality private universities so I called some of them. One I found and have used since has a testing center which allows for testing on any weekday. You are expected to have an appointment but if I called them right now I'm almost positive I could get an appointment to CLEP first thing in the morning. They are a nice expensive university which I guess provides for good service but their testing fee is the same as everywhere else.
Most if not all of the private schools that have CLEP allow the public to take them. If you live in an area with a number of schools then I would just call around to inquire about availability and schedules.

I used the local Strayer University when I was testing. Never had a problem and was only charged 20 bucks for each exam.

You can use the College Board's web page to find a test center. Strayer and Univ of Phoenix are good choices and are located in a lot of places. Also some high schools and business training centers administer CLEP/DSST tests. I take mine at a business training center and their schedule is very flexible. I can call or email a booking request and take exams weekdays between 8am and 2pm.

jmichelle79,
I have a few questions regarding your sig if you don't mind. I assume the 1A, 1B, etc aligns to Intellectual Skills, Human Culture, etc as TESC now has it aligned? Also can you tell me have you been successful in having this accepted by TESC? I am on the same path, 105 credits along, and just now applied. If this has worked for you then you have made my weekend as my final path in has become clear. Thanks.
