Planning my BSBA Marketing Degree

[ThirtySomething]

Take as many courses as you can at StraighterLine, as I was able to blow through an insane amount in a short period of time. Then take your remaining AOS upper-level courses at Study.com.

I started in July, and am enrolled for the Business Admin Capstone starting next month, with 4 courses remaining and expected graduation in March. It will have taken me a total of 8 months, and I started with around 21 credits.

Thanks so much for the advice! Did you end up doing the StraighterLine $99/a month membership or did you pay as you go? I would love to see how you went about it. I would love to complete this in 8 months and I’m itching to get started, I just want to make sure my route is cost effective.

Like the previous poster stated the $99 subscription fee is a requirement + the cost of the course. This is why straighterline is a great value for those that are able to fly through multiple courses in a month.

Here was my strategy:

I found it easiest to focus on knocking out my math courses first, which I did at Aleks. $20 for 1 month and I was able to complete College Algebra, Statistics, and Trigonometry. Make sure to go to your ace transcript and submit the courses to them when you're complete.

Next, take all the remaining Lower Level courses at StraighterLine, then send the transcript to TESU and cancel your subscription. (I also recommend submitting all SL courses to ACE so you have a record of them) Then sign up for study.com (which is $199 a month for 2 tests and $70 for each additional test) and complete your upper-level courses. SL doesn't offer many upper-level courses, and study.com has more than enough to fill the UL credit requirement.

Mine ended up working out like this.

I brought in 15 courses from B&M (Not all counted toward my degree plan which is BSBA in GM)
Completed 3 math courses at Aleks in July (1 month)
Completed 18 courses at SL from July-Oct (3 months)
--Submit Ace transcript + SL transcript to TESU for evaluation (It took 3 weeks to complete the evaluation. I registered for Capstone before eval was complete)
--Register for Capstone which starts Nov-5 (Expected graduation date of March)
In Progress Complete 6 remaining courses at Study.com (currently finished 1, with 5 remaining)

My goal is to finish my remaining 5 classes + Capstone by mid-December and submit my transcript to TESU. This will give me a little le-way time in case any of those 6 courses are not creditworthy. (which is unlikely because I've done my due diligence)

This is a lot of help! Thank you! Quick question---can you tell me more about ACE? And what exactly its purpose is as opposed to sending my credits as I go to TESU?
