Thanks for great advice, just need some MBA direction

@RICKE95126, hey, I got your private message. I'll reply to you in a bit. Just curious, do you know any other languages? I think I am on the same wave length as you are on... in terms of what you're thinking and how you perceive what you're looking for and the route you're taking. I know it's a bit confusing when you start, and will get more confusing when things are thrown at you in multiple directions. We will guide you through... I'll reply back after I do a little update...

Thx  everyone has been super helpful but it is a bit convoluted. No English only

So I copied all the Sophia courses, I am sure I misunderstood, but if I took everything at Sophia, I would have 124 Cr, of which I could only use 90, right? 

If I currently have 23.5, I would need to take 67 Sophia courses, correct? If so, which ones do I take based on what I previously shared?  

I don't want to take 10 more courses than needed.

You only want to take courses that wont duplicate so since you already have English 1, US history 1, and intro to Psychology you can skip those. I don't think any school take the foundation courses for credit so unless you need to brush up on math or stats I would also skip those.
Also probably college readiness since you already have that. Did you ever pick a school?

It depends on what school you want to go to as to what will be accepted, as well as the degree you want.

In general, I would take the business courses since you want an MBA later, they'll count for Free Electives at any school.  Macro and Micro econ both are required for a BSBA, and they'll count as GE courses.  I'd probably give all of the math courses a shot, since you'll need Stats knowledge later.  Foundations won't help though at most schools.  Ethics is required everywhere, so I'd take that.  I heard that you should take the Greek Philosophers course prior to Ethics though.  The IT courses prob won't do much, so I'd save those for last unless you need the credits.  Don't duplicate anything you've already taken.

[rachel83az]

Don't take the Foundations courses. They are mostly not useful. Don't take College Readiness. Don't take Intro to Web Design.

Don't take English Comp I or US History I (you already have those). Don't take English Comp II (there are easier alternatives out there).

Other recommendations will depend on school and degree.

[RICKE95126]

Uggg, Take ALL the Sophia classes regardless of school for LL then no don't take them all, then take them in this order, then take this or that depending on your major." I'm back to my initial question. Does anyone have a degree Planning template for a BSBA or BSBL at the big 3 school I can use as a guide? If not then I think hiring someone to help develop a plan makes sense.

[rachel83az]

The Big 3 is not ONE school. It is 3 schools with 3 RADICALLY different degree requirements. If you just want a plug-and-play option, there are roadmaps for TESU. Or UMPI is Sophia + Biology at Study.com. The end.

But you still have to decide between getting a degree liberal studies (easy now) or business (easy later).

[RICKE95126]

I meant big 3 schools plural for a BSBA or a BSBL.sorry if I sound frustrated, I just started 2 Sophia classes it seems I don't need to take based on previous classes taken. I need to figure this out before I waste time and money taking courses I don't need in the correct order.. I really could use a road map.. Any definitive help is welcome.

[rachel83az]

For a BSBA at TESU:

https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

For a BSBA at UMPI: don't do Project Management at Sophia. Do everything else except the Foundations and College Readiness courses.
