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

[Nodaclu]

And a big '+' in WGU's favor now:

By completing their HR program, I also earn my PHR certification - something I need and was planning on doing separately, at an additional cost of $600-$1,000 (depending on the study method used - the test itself is $500).

That's no small thing. In the HR world, the PHR and the Bachelor's Degree are just about on equal footing in importance. It also brings the "time to finish both" back into a closer alignment with my original BALS + PHR idea.

Thank you for these! 

The PSY-360 is in there because it showed up as a required class in my TESU degree program outline. 

BSBA-HRM Concentration Section 3, Category C - Organizational Theory / Development

Without a direct transfer correlation/guarantee between TESU and SDC, I'm very hesitant to take any of those SDC 100-series courses now, since the course numbers no longer align with TESU's official offerings. I'm sure there are SL/CLEP/DSST  or other options for them though, so I won't let that alone affect my decision.

When my goal was just a quick BALS "checkbox" degree, TESU was perfect. But if I'm shifting to a business degree, it behooves me to re-evaluate and make sure I'm making the best choice for myself.

I'm seeing pro's and con's for all three options (TESU, WGU, NAU) - assuming each would honor all of my GE coursework.

That's the biggest question in front of me right now, I think. Some of my earliest coursework is nearing 30 years old. TESU took it all without question. WGU seems to have a reputation of being somewhat stingy in that department, and NAU is an unknown (although, NAU at least will do a preliminary eval of unofficial transcripts, so I should be able to get a pretty quick idea from them.)

I think I'll take enough steps into the NAU program to get the unofficial eval, and see how that comes out, before I go any further. For all things to remain equal, each would have to essentially transfer in all of my GE credits, which is roughly 54 units.

TESU already has. Let's see what the others do.
