TESU Evaluation of Outside Credits Term Limit

[schristian10]

Let's run through a couple of scenarios as an example.

You must take 6 credits at TESU. 114 credits to go.
You bring in 24 credits from TECEPs/TEL/ONU/ASU/etc. for your RA credit. 90 credits left.

This is where things start to diverge. First a BALS degree with no concentration:
TEEX Death investigation for 3 UL credits. 87 left to go.
ACTFL exams for all 24 credits (12 UL/12 LL): 63 credits left to go.
InstantCert for American Government; 3 credits. 60 credits left to go.
All UL credit requirements have been met for a BALS degree. Fill in the remainder with 60 credits at Sophia.

Now a BSBA General Management, starting off with the 90 alt credits left to go:
Study.com for 12 UL credits. 78 credits left to go.
Study.com for 12 LL credits to fill business core requirements. 66 credits left to go.
Study.com 6 LL credits for AOS electives. 60 credits left to go.
InstantCert for American Government. 57 credits left to go.
OnlineDegree.com for Intro to Marketing, 3 credits. 54 credits left to go.
Complete degree with 54 credits from Sophia.

These are very VERY broad and general ideas to get you started. You might choose to get American Government from TEL or Study.com instead of InstantCert. For business degrees, you can use Davar for (some) UL credits instead of Study.com. It all depends on what your goals are and what your budget is.

This would be where I am at now, mapping out alt credits. Thank you for sharing what you know.

Does Sophia offer UL courses, or are Study.com and Davar just better options?

I assume Am Gov from InstantCert and Intro to Marketing from OnlineDegree are just particularly low cost options?

Yes, a broad idea is to get 15 RA credits from a community college which you have already. You transfer in 90+ credits through alternative means such as CLEP/MS or Sophia.org, Coopersmith/Davar. Complete 16 credits at TESU to remove the residency waiver fee, this will also put you past the 30 RA requirements.  The final touches of the degree would be deciding what those 16 credits are, essentially the cornerstone/capstone takes 6, you can take another capstone and you would get another Bachelors if you wanted.  The rest can be anything...

If I obtain the BSBA is there a short or long list from there of potential additional Bachelors that are simple to get as well, like you said by taking another Capstone, etc?
