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

[dfrecore]

I'm looking in the TESU course catalog for the specific class list for the HR Concentration, and I can't seem to find it. Can you possibly point me somewhere where I can take a look at all of them?

As far as the work/time/money perspective, it's honestly 50/50 for me. I have *never* taken a single college business course. I'm missing *everything*. And since it's one of my least favorite areas of study, it's going to likely take me a lot of extra time to finish.

In addition, my last algebra-based class (trigonometry) was taken in 1987. And math is my worst subject of all. I'm seriously unsure if I can ever pass a College Algebra class. And if I can, i'll probably have to take at least one (and probably two) remedial classes before I can tackle it. More time. More money.

Now with those excuses made   I'm still strongly considering the BSBA. I just need to think on it for a bit longer.

I can also push the decision off for another month at least by carefully selecting my next two Study.com courses, making sure that they'll work in both plans. 

RE the HR concentration for the BALS, just go to the BALS page, then click on HRM down in the concentration area.  It will list specific courses there.

Yes, it is hard to get into the groove of the BALS if you've never taken the courses, but they aren't impossible for sure.  I am doing Study.com's Microecon right now, and there is a lot of overlap from Macroecon, Managerial Accounting and Intro to Finance.  It's not as hard as I thought it would be.  Not that the courses are a piece of cake, but they're not impossibly difficult.

Re: math, I feel your pain.  I have to do Stats, and I'm not loving it.  So far though, I have to say that Study.com is making it fairly easy.  A lot more concepts than computations.  But I had to start with ALEKS's pre-algebra and work my way up before I could complete College Algebra.  It did take a while.

Definitely keep taking courses that work in both degrees.  Things like Macro/Micro econ will work in the BALS gen ed's or AOS, and also are required for the BSBA.  One thing to keep in mind: the HR concentration of the BSBA will probably really interest you.  So it almost offsets the courses you have to take that you don't want to (Finance or Accounting or Econ or whatever).  6 interesting courses to look forward to... and there will be some overlap there as well, to make it a bit easier.
