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

[Kjnova]

Remember that COSC will require 30 upper level credits....so you can't just take things anywhere...at least 18 UL will have to be within the main concentration (maybe more for an actual business degree). there are some DSST that are UL, Penn Foster has some more...Penn Foster might work for th ebulk of it if you did the Org. Mngt with an HR secondary.

Thanks - I have lots of upper-level classes that do not apply to a business major (they would apply to an English major, or to some extent, anything similar).

I haven't taken any classes from any of the sources that get discussed on this board - study.com, Penn Foster, etc. In my case, I like self-directed study. The idea of a video, or perhaps an interactive guide that includes video and some simple quizzes, with an exam at the end, appeals to me. If I see the same course available in more than one place - for example, if the same course name appears on study.com and on Penn Foster - is there a rule of thumb which is better, for whatever reasons? Or even a rule of thumb for how they differ?

With a few exceptions, I would prefer self-directed study + final exam over simply a final exam. Basically, I want to move as quickly as I can without the risk of failure in a class/test spiking.

If it's an area where I am very confident, simply taking a CLEP or other exam is fine, but for an area like business law or microeconomics, I would rather have some help preparing.
