degree plan help again please
#1
Between Patten shutting down, TESU shunning shmoop, and a few other things, I am back to not having any clue or degree plan. Im sitting here with around 100 undergraduate credits and no freaking clue what to do now. I feel like I have been chasing my tail and wasting time this year. All degree plans I had are useless now. Could someone please help me with some options of degrees and where I can best utilize what I have? 
I am at a point that any bachelors that will allow me into a Masters program will work. A bachelors in business would be better as my work seems to think that is the only important bachelors there is but if I can get into a masters then it won't matter.

Here is what I have completed so far

I will have the BOG degree from Pierpont if that can help anywhere also.

Anyone see anything?

I would finish your SL courses ASAP, since those 4 courses are required in ALL business degrees I've seen. The Business Ethics course will duplicate the free Ethics course at TESU, so that one is up to you.

Then, apply to COSC, EC & WGU. I don't know their degrees well enough to make plans for you, but they are much faster than TESU at producing evals, so at least you'll know where you stand with all of them.

I am going to guess that WGU might be fastest for you, since you don't have a lot of UL credits, but I'm not sure.

Once you get back your evals, you can post them here and ask for help in determining which will be the best for you.

I'd do as dfrecore suggests, but many of your Shmoop credits aren't all that useful for a BSBA anyway, so you should chart your path forward with TESU as an option as well. I know you're disappointed, but you can let that get you down, or you can just pick yourself up and soldier on (should be familiar to an ex-jarhead). Sometimes people get so fixed on using every credit they have, that they lose sight of the final goal, which is graduating.

So sad man. Keep strong. Apply to all three and see which one will give you the most credits. Though I feel COSC is the best option with all the Shmoop TESU isnt taking. You could do the "individualized studies" option with "Business and Liberal Arts" as the major or something.

The best advice I think I got on this forum is enroll and lock your credits ASAP I cant remember where I read that but it was the best advice cause lately the Big 3 have been changing a lot its not to late man apply to COSC cause right now they take shmoop and see what they say, cut your losses and gradaute.
Come on you can do it!! Dont give up!!
