Once he has the eval, he can run the "what if" scenario to see what they show for the Finance degree. The main difference between the two are the ease of finding courses. With General Management, there are more than enough available via testing and inexpensive online courses to get the degree. With Finance, it's much more difficult to get the courses that way.
But, if your husband's company will pay for the finance courses, then he could take the ones he needs and then transfer them to TESC for the Finance degree. I would have TESC approve them first (you will want to make sure they will accept them, and that at least 4 will be UL).
This sounds like what I did. I looked around at the colleges suggested on this website and also heard a commercial on the radio about TESC…when I went to an open house at TESC, I liked what I heard/saw and enrolled just after being laid off from my old job. Little did I know then that lay off would fire ME UP to complete my BSN in about 16 months. I did it the same way you suggest. I applied transferred all but one of my credits in and just got it on! My only concern for my husband is, he only has about 40 credits, shouldn't he wait until he has more so he doesn't have to pay that annual fee every year? He's going part-time and his work only pays for about 10K a year in tuition. I know that's awesome, but I am wondering if he'll be over the 10K limit and be stuck paying for the rest on his (our own). We just bought our first house, so money is a concern. Still, I think you have a point. Better to know for sure and have a plan than be surprise later.
Thanks!
