Business Degree Path Guidance

[bjcheung77]

It took 24 months and the cost was $18,000 (2,250 per 3 month term). I started straight out of high school and it took longer than I would have liked to get used to college/the competency based structure. That said, grade turnaround was often long and the 80% passing requirement led me to take more time to ensure that I passed. I ended up getting A's on everything, so maybe I spent too much time on it.
In contrast, in about 4 months (with a long Christmas break) I was able to complete 7 Sophia courses, Google's Professional IT Support cert, and a couple non-credit Coursera courses. I was able to do most of the Sophia courses within 5 days, though English I took a couple weeks and Business law took a week due to the papers. Being able to fly through courses was a refreshing change of pace.

Alright, this is how I would recommend you swing things. I think TESU/WGU or Bradman/UMPI would be a good option if you can get the bulk of your alt credits completed before you transfer for the remaining credits at any of these schools. Brandman is soon to be UMASS Global... you can mix and match your options. For example, go for an ACBSP Bachelors and then another ACBSP Masters or go for an AACSB Masters.

1) If you have the extra cash, energy, time - continue your studies at UW Flex for the BSBA, it's AACSB and probably the cheapest if you can complete courses fast enough using their competency based degree model. It's not possible to go back in time, but I would have had you finish the general education at a cheaper community college and complete the 52 credits at UW instead to get a BSBA! In your shoes, I would skip this and go for an AACSB Masters program instead, and you can select a specific concentration. There are several that are very inexpensive (under 15K for the entire 1-2 year AACSB Masters)!

2) Go for a BSBA GM/CIS dual concentration at TESU, this way, you can take Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Project Management courses in addition to CIS. If you are wanting to pay the residency waiver, this is the way to go. If you want to take courses, then grab another degree in the process! After this is complete, you can then ladder up to a RA Masters or chose from a few other inexpensive Masters from ACBSP/AACSB schools.

3) For cost, ease, and speed to finish, you might want to take the easy way out with COSC or one of the competency degree providers such as UMPI/WGU and speed through those remaining requirements. If you want a second degree from COSC, you just need to take the required courses and the second capstone. Again, you can ladder these degrees later to a better ACSBP or AACSB program after your initial Bachelors.

When I click to the Wiki it goes to the original home page and the links for COSC or TESU degree plans do not go to the nice plans rachel83az 
put so much effort into. Am I missing the links or is there a new home for the Wiki?
