Will COSC or TESC take these Ds for a BSBA? - suzycupcake - 03-02-2019
I am planning on a BSBA and I have 2 Ds in the following classes:
Intro to Psych - D
Principles of Economics - D
I'm hoping they would fit in somewhere and I could use them as credit perhaps? Any advice?
Edited to add - are there reasons where I would want to choose one school over another for the BSBA? (Not concerned about cost)
TIA
Susan

Tesu has ACBSP accreditation for their business program.
Excelsior has IACBE accreditation.
CoSC doesn't have a special business accreditation.

Forgive my ignorance, but how much of a difference do these accreditations make? (I have 30 yrs of corporate experience and just need the paper stating I have a degree) I don't know enough to know if I need to make a decision based on this or not. Thanks for chiming in and for sharing your knowledge. I feel so stupid reading this forum sometimes because I don't know so many things about school.

I honestly don't know if those accreditations would matter to you or not just I'd mention them since you asked for a reason to choose one school over another. Those would be a potential reason(if those accreditations matter to you).
I suppose other reasons would be the degree requirements for each school's business program. I'd look at the requirements for each one to compare.
I suppose worst case, you could always CLEP/SDC/SL those D courses if they hold you back.

Thank you again!

TESU & COSC will take both of those courses.
- TESU will take a D in most courses, as long as it's not English or in the AOS. COSC will take a D- as long as it's not English and in the major/concentration.
Since this is Econ and not Microecon or Macroecon, it will count as just a GE at TESU and a Liberal Arts course at COSC. Psych falls into the same slots.
The degrees are pretty similar, the main difference (besides price) is that TESU is ACBSP accredited and COSC is not. And COSC requires 30cr of UL in the degree, and TESU only requires 12cr of UL in the AOS for the BSBA. There are other differences, but I would say that these are the ones that will impact you the most.
