Got time off..how fast can I complete the Thomas Edison Management degree? - Lnacen - 03-17-2017
I've been dragging this for years. I'm still enrolled, but havent been able to take more than one TECEP. I have 3 months off and want to knock this out.
I've read that Saylor courses are a drag to go through, so I'm thinking study.com and or straighterline for most of the credits. How fast can you usually
complete a course and exam with either one of these options? I can study about 10 hours a day or more..no kids or anything to distract me.
Any tips or suggestions?

It depends, we don't know how many credits you need and how many you have already completed that will fit into the BSBA General Management degree.
Your best bet right now is to enter in your current credits and the credits you are completing, you may want to read the Beginners Guide as well for info.

You don't need to go through the Saylor courses in order to take the tests. There are people who have passed without going through all the coursework. I plan on using other resources.

My high school sons started Straighterline on 11/27 and by the end of this month (4th month), they will have have 10 courses finished.
Let me tell you that 2 of those months were English 1 and English 2. In the other 2 months they did 8 courses.
It's possible to go faster, but I'm a pesky mom and make them do all the lessons and such. They are allocating about an hour and a half to Straighterline each school day (Monday-Friday.)

I would guess that if you were to devote 10 hours/day x 3 months, you could finish an entire BSBA, starting with zero credits. That's assuming that the TECEP is being revised, not removed (to be switched to an actual capstone).
If I were going to attempt something like this, I would probably do a mixture of Study.com and SL (so as not to get too burned out on either one), using Study.com as well to study for Saylor exams where possible. I would also start with ALEKS and try to get the math out of the way before it expires on 3/31. I would also register for the Strategic Management TECEP exam for April.

I'm basically starting at the top. Have a few courses completed through CLEP, thats it. I signed up with the college accelorator last year, but I've been
such a bum about actually taking the courses..I have about 2 more months left. I just learned that we can buy extra exams for 70 bucks if we are in college
accelorator. So, I may just do that. I'm not sure.

OK, study.com courses align with Saylor exams? Thats good to read.
I'm guessing Thomas Edison is changing some things and I have to take Strategic Management before they make it a capstone? Going to sign up with Aleks tonight.

If you are doing it for the checkmark for a job and what not, Straighterline is awesome for breezing through materials and taking courses. Some of the courses you can take through straighterline for BSBA General Management are: Accounting 1/Accounting 2 (Managerial and Financial Acc at TESU), Organizational Behavior (Upper level/Area of Study), Micro and macro economics (a bit of a drag but solid courses to learn economics atleast an entry college level), Business communications, and you can even take financial and managerial accounting for two upper level accounting area of studies.

They don't necessarily "align", it's just a way of studying for the exam that you're already paying for. Saylor's exams are generic, meaning that you should be able to use any textbook to study for it (similar to CLEP or DSST exams). Whereas SL's courses are very textbook-specific, meaning you have to use THAT exact textbook to study for and pass the course.
There is no guarantee that they are making a capstone rather than exam for the BSBA. They may just be updating the TECEP.
