BS and BA at the same time

[TheLibrarian]

If you do it in two terms, it should be quite manageable. But 9 credits per term doesn't provide that much savings vs. the per credit rate. It would probably make more sense financially to do a 13 or 16-credit term with cornerstone, one capstone, PLA-100, and three more classes of your choice. Then do a term with just the other capstone. That would get you to 16 or 19 credits for TESU, making sure you don't have to pay the waiver.

If you mean a BSBA (this is NOT the same as a plain BS), that's fine. Most BS degrees cannot be obtained via alternate credit, but you can get a BSBA easily enough. It just takes a few more classes at Sophia/SDC to obtain.

Gen Ed requirements are more or less the same between the BA and BSBA degrees, too. There is a slight difference in the number of electives but business has the business core while BA history has AOS requirements.

What is a BSBA? This additional degree is not a must, just an idea I had that might make me a bit more marketable. I would prefer to do it in one term but if I do 2 bachelors, I dont know how hard two capstones will be in one term

I looked up the BSBA and maybe an associates added on would just be easier, depending whats involved in how to do it

I'm saying this as a recent TESU grad: If I were to start again, I would seriously consider UMPI over TESU. If you enjoy writing papers, UMPI is more straight forward. If you prefer testing out, TESU is still the better bet, but you'll need to really work on your own plan. That being said, I'm a good tester and am fine at writing, so I probably would've still done TESU.

You really need to decide the end goal first. Yes, two 9-credit terms at TESU are an option, but you'll pay the flat rate for each term, doubling your cost. We tell people to cram 16 credits into a single term so they only pay the one tuition charge. Most/all of a BSBA (there's a few concentrations) can be done between Sophia/Study.com. If you want a BS in Organizational Leadership, you'll need to take at least some courses with TESU. If you just want an Associate's in Business, that's a pretty easy addition to a BA History.

If you want a more straightforward approach, and enjoy writing, I would look at a BA in History/PoliSci with UMPI, and pair that with a BABA in Management & Leadership or a BALS with a Management Minor. I'm not familiar with their degree plans, but those should put you on the right track.

I am not interested in UMPI  but thank you for that suggestion. I just don't know how to add the Associate to my history plan? Just by taking the classes listed in the core section? Its only 6 and it doesn't look like theres a capstone? I think getting an associates would be a little bit easier than an additional bachelors.
