Degree Plan TESU BSBA in Accounting

[thecontrarian]

AP Tests: I'm not sure where you got the information about using only 3. TESU will treat the AP tests as other alternative credit: It counts towards your maximum 90 credit allowable limit. So, assuming you got at least 3s, you'll have:

6 credits of World History (HIS 121/122)
6 credits of US History (HIS 113/114)
8 credits of Physics with Lab (PHY 115/116)
3 credits of Calculus (MAT-231)

This will cover your Knowledge of Human Cultures, Physical/Natural World, Quantitative Analysis, and put some extra credits into your GE Electives.

Yes, not sure where the idea came from of limits, but this is all correct (except that you'll actually get 4cr for calc). So 24cr of AP is awesome, and you'll want to use every bit of those.

Don't do US History I & II through Sophia, those are duplicate.  You'll also need to remove some other courses, since you'll have too many GE credits.

Definitely do the 3 math TECEP exams, those should be very easy for you.

You might also want to consider MTH 117 - Finite Math through ONU since it's a self-paced course, will count as RA credit, and only costs $150 (you'll have to wait until after graduation, since they don't allow high schoolers to take courses).

Last - you might want to consider taking all of your accounting courses via Study.com (or Sophia and Study combo) as planned, and then doing a term of e-Pack courses at TESU to get 15cr - do the cornerstone via regular online (no other option), then e-Pack Am Govt, Computers (business core), Stats, and then maybe do an additional UL accounting course via online.  Then, the capstone is your final course, which you can pay $1200 for, and you've avoided the Residency Waiver.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks dfrecore. You and everyone here has given me so much value. There’s things I realize now to my embarrassment I had no clue about (residency waiver) as well as the things I clearly got wrong. I’ll revise my plan significantly based on this. I have no idea how all of you learned so much stuff!

I’m not an accountant. But I’d say get the undergrad as fast as you can through the cheapest and simplest means. Then  Get into masters. From what I’ve seen you’re not going to learn anymore sitting in a classroom or an online lecture.  Maybe more access to tutors and a professor. You can find tutors, also how much one on one time do professors give you anyways or how much time would you pursue ? Just get er done. Then figure out what you need more exposure to and go get it. Then get into masters.

Thanks Pats20, that’s one thing that I’m also thinking about.
