Degree planning help for my wife - xjarhead1999 - 03-11-2019
Was hoping one of you degree planning geniuses could help my wife out. She is wanting to get a business degree. She currently has a Bachelor's of Science in Education Multidisciplinary Studies: Elementary MDS K-6. Boy that was a mouthful.
She currently works at a bank and hates it. She has done that for many years and wants to change jobs. Unfortunately, becoming a teacher in my area is hard to do. Lot of politics and "good old boys" type of things plays a role in getting a teaching job. She is wanting to try and get an office job with my employer. The requirements for almost everything is a business degree. She should be relatively close, meaning she probably just needs the major courses.
Anyway here is a list of her classes. I'm going off her transcript the best I can read it.

Hopefully someone can decipher all that. She is looking for the best way to get a business degree. Looking for recommendations for which school would be best to go with. Other than the finance classes, we know she needs all business classes. We would prefer to get most at straighterline and study.com. I tried to use my plan for COSC but I just can't seem to figure it out. TESU or EC might be better. Or maybe even WGU.
Suggestions?

Since she is working in business now (just not in the way she'd like), why not have her look into an MBA through WGU (Walden, or other school) instead of a second bachelor. I would think that would get her more bang for the buck (& time spent) than a BSBA.

As far as I can tell, this is what is lacking for COSC in Business:
Business Ethics (if upper level, counts as general education and Business Elective), Business Statistics, Business Law, Principles of Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Finance, Organizational Behavior, Cornerstone (COSC), Business Capstone (COSC), Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, and two additional upper level business courses (+ Business Ethics above).
Also, I really like the idea mentioned above of going for the MBA instead if that works.
