Can you path experts help me? - xjarhead1999 - 03-31-2018
Ok, so I withdrew from Ashford. Every time I turned around it seemed like I was getting surprised and was going to take longer than I need to get a degree.
Was wondering if you guys could hook me up with a degree plan for a business degree. A BALS path would be great too in case I want to go that way. I've tried to get the blank ones but I get mixed up with what transfers as what.
This is what I have so far.
Ashford University
EXP 105-Personal Dimensions of Education
ENG 125-Introduction to Literature
Western International University
COM 110-Effective persuasive writing
COM 112-Utilizing information in College Writing
CRT 102-Critical thinking
IT 101-Skills for learning in an Information Age
Schools have given me 10 credits for my time in the Marines so I am working under the assumption of 10 elective credits there(talking to Patten, their unofficial transfer gave me 6 credits, 3 for sociology, and 3 for ethics? Don't know what that was about)
Sophia
Developing effective teams
Foundations of statistics
Essentials of managing conflict
Foundations of English Composition(got it free, haven't finished, not sure if worth the time)
Foundations of College Algebra (got it free, haven't started, not sure if worth the time)
Institute
Ethics
TEEX
All 3 courses
Study.com
Library science 101
Finance 102
Political Science 102
Bus 104
Religion 101
Communications 120 (haven't taken final test, not sure if it's worth it since it's NCCRS instead of ACE)
So anyone bored and can help me out? I'll owe you a favor I guess.

I already did the TESU AA degree for you, it's easy enough to just transfer it to the other degree plans since you already know the classifications.
1) The Sophia "foundations" courses don't count as college-level coursework at TESU
2) NCCRS is just as good at TESU as ACE, I would finish your course (plus it should count as your oral requirement)
3) TESU doesn't just give you credits for military service, they look at your JST and determine where all of the courses fall, so you may want to post your JST which shows the ACE portion of your credit to see what you have (take off personal info)
4) The BALS is the most flexible and will use all of the credits you have (56 including military) whereas the BSBA will only use some of the credits you've earned, because many fall under Free Electives, and you only get 6cr of Free electives under the BSBA (so you will have 38cr total). A good compromise might be the BALS with a concentration in General Management, if you want to look at that. You need 6 very specific courses in Management that can be found inexpensively, but you will still be able to use all of the credits you've earned to this point and not "lose" any of them like the BSBA.

Thank you. I cant seem to copy and paste my JST easily. It doesnt format correctly and looks like jibberish. Is it safe to upload the pdf here>
