[noob] Looking for direction

[cookderosa]

Good afternoon all!

I've been reading this forum for some time now and recently joined to participate in the fun.  I'm talking to both TESU and Charter Oak about their respective programs but wanted to runit by you all to make sure that I'm headed in the correct direction.

I'm looking to get a BSBA or BSBM degree and don't have any credits to xfer in.  I've been told by both TESU and COSC that I need to apply first then they'll help me with aligning my DIY testing.  Any help here would be great.  I've seen several course outlines but am not sure if they meet my needs or not.  HELP!!!

I appreciate your help and for taking time to read this post.

Thanks!
Chris

If TESU or COSC actually helped you align your DIY testing plan, there would be no use for this forum. I would be astonished if that were the case. DIY is, by it's very nature, doing it YOURSELF without the direct advising of an advisor.

Advisors help enrolled students - to expect that kind of help from the college for free is unrealistic. How could they do that? Who pays the salary of those advisors?

OTOH, the *volunteer* members here can give YOU advice and suggestions about possible ways to craft this degree on your own - for the most part. It may be imperfect, but after you've spent time following the suggestions in this thread- including previous threads, you'll be at least 75% of the way to doing this on your own. The remaining 25% you can learn as you go.

If, however, you really feel like you need the advisor to walk you through, you'll have to enroll at TESU/COSC to get that kind of help. Enrollment at those schools, you'll find, is the most expensive way to get that degree - but it is still a possibility. If you're patient and allow yourself a month or two to learn the ropes, you'll shave the cost of your degree significantly.
