Charter Oak State College - New Degree in B.S. Business Administration

[bjcheung77]

Long ago, I was a senior English Lit major before leaving college for a job.

A few months ago, I applied and was accepted by Excelsior into their BS - Liberal Arts program.

They say I need a one-hour "how to use Excelsior" type class, and a three-hour capstone, plus any other 14 credit hours, meaning probably CLEP tests.

My question is, assuming COSC gives me about the same transfer credit, what would I need to do to get a business degree instead?

I didn't take business classes in the past. I do have 20 years of business experience, though I doubt they award credit for life experiences.

Is it feasible to get most of the way there via CLEP, or would I be in for a much longer slog?

Any other options I should consider?

Thanks.

I'm not sure why you revived a year old thread to ask your question.... But you have two, three or more options.
Depends on which school you want to enroll in and also the amount of credits they'll accept from what you have.

1) Get another evaluation from Excelsior and see what credits are needed to go into their BSBA.
2) Apply to COSC and get an evaluation on your credit and see also what they will provide you.
3) You can also try TESU and see also what credits are transferred to them as well.

Someone was asking a similar question here, see post below.

The three of them have similar degrees and the pricing is relatively close, with Excelsior a tad more.
There are other competency based programs, and they are your last option. Hope this helps.
