Newbie Trying To Figure It Out - With Some Weird Issues

[dfrecore]

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss. Secondly, I'm really glad you are taking advantage of the GI Bill and pursuing your education. Third, you can definitely use your old credits towards a degree; I took classes in 1988, and TESU accepted them with no problems at all (and when they didn't put a couple of the classes where I thought they should go, I just called the school and asked for the green sheets for those classes, they went back to 1988, pulled the sheets, and scanned and emailed them to me!! TESU put them where I wanted.).

I know nothing about using the GI Bill, so I can't help you with that part. But I can tell you a few things:
1) keep reading these forums; I know a LOT about getting a degree at TESU, and I STILL learn new things all the time
2) things are constantly changing - new sources of credit are found all the time, and people are so great here about letting the rest of us know
3) spending some time researching before making any final decisions about which degree you want to get is not only ok, it's a good idea. Better to spend a month or two up front gathering info to make an informed decision than making a hasty decision

Probably the easiest/fastest/cheapest degree you can get is the TESU BSBA in General Management degree. BUT, that does not mean that it's the best plan for YOU. Look at the degree and see if those classes actually interest you, and see if you still want to work in marketing/branding. If you do, you should really keep a BSBA (from any of the 3 schools) in mind. The only reason I prefer TESU over the others is cost; the capstone can be tested out of.

Anyway, good luck, and keep on reading. And ask as many questions as you need.

Others will pipe in with more info, including the GI Bill for you.
