Help with degree plan - azt579 - 09-05-2016
I know some of you guys are GREAT with spreadsheets and degree planning and have helped me in the past. Any chance that someone could help me create a spreadsheet for a BSBA Gen Management degree using as many Study.com courses as possible? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Keep in mind you can only do 2 study.com exams a month, so if you're going for speed this can limit you.
Of course, plenty are not concerned with speed, so this might not apply to you.

Yeah I'd like to do a combination of CLEP, DSST and study.com courses. I'm just not a huge fan of straighterline.

Have you tried Saylor yet?

I did a spreadsheet for you with as many Study.com courses as would fit. You can substitute them with other things if you want (CLEP, DSST, Saylor, etc.).
You can make multiple accounts at Study.com if you want to do more than 2 courses in a month. Obviously you have to use your correct name for all of them, but others on here have discussed this, so take a look and see what they say about it.

I didn't know this was a possibility. I assumed there would be some mechanism to prevent the same personal details being entered for multiple accounts. Good to know, however.

I would think so, too. Curious to know if this actually worked.

I think several people on here did it.
I think someone contacted Study.com as well to ask, and they said it was ok.
But don't quote me on that. Maybe someone here can pipe in with the info.

I want to thank all of you for the great advice and willingness to help us navigate this unique method to get a degree. I was hoping someone would be kind enough to do a degree plan for me. I realize if I just read more of the posts and go to the Big 3's sites, I should be able to do it, but I figure someone probably already done one based on a situation like mine. Why reinvent the wheel. I stated putting one together only to find out Kaplan PLA in no longer accepted. I am afraid other things may have changed. I have a great job in computer security, but no degree. I want a management position here, but I need a degree. I don't need a degree in a CS, just a degree. Excelsior's liberal arts, could work???? I have zero college credit and I am not a CSSIP. I want to do it the cheapest way I can, but from reading here know I will need to pay for some of the sites and the capstone at the end.
Looking for a plan/roadmap so I can start right away. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! JJW

I have a generic BSBA CIS degree you can use.
Regarding Kaplan PLA, it's not the schools won't accept it, it's that it's ACE-accreditation expired on 4/30. It is still available to use in your degree plan if you passed it prior to expiration - you can bring it onto your ACE transcript with no problem. If you completed it after that date, then you can't.
I prefer the TESU plan because it's the cheapest of the bunch, and I know their requirements well. Pros: 1) they only require 12cr UL in the Area of Study; and 2) you can test out of their Capstone (Strategic Management) for $114.
Second is COSC, close behind the TESU plan. They require 30cr of UL throughout the degree, and require both the cornerstone and capstone courses for their degrees.
