No degree to MBA-HR in 20 months - Nodaclu's Progress Thread

[Nodaclu]

First, I would definitely weigh the concentration issue, before choosing.  I too would give serious thought to Patten for the MBA, since I'm an HR major as well.  It may or may not be important to you.

Second, ALL Ace courses are P/F.  You either get the passing score and it gets reported on your ACE transcript, or you fail the course, and it doesn't go on your ACE transcript.  CLEP is no different from any other ACE course/exam in that way.

Third, any time you change your major, courses are going to get moved around.  So yes, you're going to play whack-a-mole when you do that.  I would make sure you have your major kind of set in stone before you have them move things around.  After that, you should be fine.  Although, when you transfer in a bunch of courses, it may be an issue then as well (happened to me).

So, choose your major, have them move your courses to where you want them, and then pay so a screen print.  Then, after you transfer in courses, pay attention to what they do and have them move things if you need to.

Thank you so much for that! I really think the HR concentration should be at the top of the list for me, and combined with needing to keep my costs as low as possible, makes Patten pretty much the only choice.

I think I'll take the Algebra and Econ classes right at the very end. That way, on the off chance that they don't accept them, and force me to take them again as prereq's before beginning the actual MBA program, everything will be fresh in my mind, and I should be able to complete them in a matter of days, so that very little time is wasted.

I'm settled on the BALS at this point. Now it's just a matter of getting those credits back where they were when I was a Psych major. 

So at this point, it looks like the UL LS course issue through Study.com is my biggest immediate challenge.
