I would suggest you familiarize yourself with some of the articles on our wikia page: http://degreeforum.wikia.com/wiki/Degree_Forum_Wiki

The wikia will help you gain an understanding of how it all works.  There are also some degree plans you may be interested in.  Keep in mind colleges offer their services for profit, so they might not offer the same DIY testing advice we'll be able to offer here.

Read the Beginners Guide/Spreadsheet/Wiki and review the templates I currently have placed in the Guide...
BTW, many people ask me "where is the guide", it's in the very first thread... it's a sticky, you can't miss it!

I've been reading this forum for some time now and recently joined to participate in the fun.  I'm talking to both TESU and Charter Oak about their respective programs but wanted to runit by you all to make sure that I'm headed in the correct direction.

I'm looking to get a BSBA or BSBM degree and don't have any credits to xfer in.  I've been told by both TESU and COSC that I need to apply first then they'll help me with aligning my DIY testing.  Any help here would be great.  I've seen several course outlines but am not sure if they meet my needs or not.  HELP!!!

I appreciate your help and for taking time to read this post.

Thanks!
Chris

Advisors help enrolled students - to expect that kind of help from the college for free is unrealistic. How could they do that?  Who pays the salary of those advisors?

OTOH, the *volunteer* members here can give YOU advice and suggestions about possible ways to craft this degree on your own - for the most part.  It may be imperfect, but after you've spent time following the suggestions in this thread- including previous threads, you'll be at least 75% of the way to doing this on your own.  The remaining 25% you can learn as you go.  

If, however, you really feel like you need the advisor to walk you through, you'll have to enroll at TESU/COSC to get that kind of help.  Enrollment at those schools, you'll find, is the most expensive way to get that degree - but it is still a possibility.  If you're patient and allow yourself a month or two to learn the ropes, you'll shave the cost of your degree significantly.
