Help Request: BSBA TESU Plan filling in missing credit with Study.com (primarily)

[dfrecore]

I looked at your courses, and I think you will be disappointed if you try transferring to TESU - a lot of this just won't transfer well into the BSBA.

I have no idea how your certificate will transfer over, it could fulfill a lot of your Gen Eds and the CIS AOS - or it could count as nothing. You're going to want to apply to both COSC and EC to see how that will fit in there as well, they are much better about accepting IT Certs than TESU is.

Also, most of your business/real estate courses won't fit into the BSBA at TESU either, there's no place for them to go (they are free electives, I think). Your computer stuff that's 1cr probably won't work either. Nor will your TEEX courses except 1 of them. Or Massage or Kinesiology. Im also not sure if your Contract Law course will fulfill the Business Law core requirement. Not sure if Social Issues will fulfill your diversity requirement, or if it will just go into Knowledge of Human Cultures.

There's another bummer for you - the Study.com annual discount is no longer available. So, you're looking at $199/mo for 2 courses, less any coupons you might be able to find (I think there's a 20% off coupon out there, not sure if you can use it multiple times).

If I were you, and still wanted to get the BSBA, I would probably sign up for Shmoop while the price is still low, and take the 3 history courses in a month. Those will fit into Knowledge of Human Cultures or Gen Ed Electives. Then, I would sign up for ALEKS and do the 3(4) math courses you'll need (Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Stats, and then Precalc if you want). That's only $20/mo. When completed with Stats, I would take the Saylor Business Stats course.

After taking the Gen Eds that you know you will need, and a bunch of the Core courses, I would then apply to all 3 schools and see where you stand, especially in regards to the IT Cert and the Real Estate courses. I'm including my spreadsheet, and all of the courses I don't think will fit are at the bottom. I could be wrong, and the only way to know that is to apply.

Also, if you don't care which degree you get, you may want to look into TESU's BSPS, where both IT and Real Estate courses will fit: Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies. The nice thing with TESU is that once you apply and get an eval, you can see what would happen if you changed the degree to see if that wouldn't be a better fit. In fact, I would think about applying for the BSPS, and then looking at the BSBA CIS online afterwards. I think they will do a better job of evaluating those credits that won't normally fit into the BSBA if you apply for the BSPS instead.
