You are going to have to piece-meal credits from TESC and other institutions in your major. Do you have any work experience in OM? You may be able to get a PLA done, but those are usually a lot of work with little reward.

passit1 Wrote:Hi - I'm almost finished with my BSBA Operations Management degree. I had lots of credits from other colleges but after the eval I was still left with sixty three credits to take which meant 21 classes.

Thanks to the advice from the good folks on these forums, I was able to test out or do accelerated self study for of 19 of them - they are listed as part of my signature. They all transferred into the degree plan with no problem.

The only two classes that did not have a test or a self study option (like sophia or penn foster) were Total Quality Management and Logistics. Both are required for the OM specialization.

For the classes I don't have listed, you'll no doubt get very helpful advice from folks posting replies to your question. Since the OM degree is almost the same as the general BSBA, I believe the lower level classes can be done as Cleps & DSSTs.
