need help designing TESU BALS degree plan

Davewill,

I am assuming you mean for either the TESU BALS bachelor's program (capstone = 25+ pg. research paper) or the TESU Business Admin Bachelor's capstone (7 case studies and an analytical report)? If I am at TESU, I would rather write the Business Capstone as it would involve topics that would likely interest me more. If you were me and did not writing papers as much as taking an exam, would you potentially pick the TESU Business Admin Bachelor's degree or the BABA Mgmt and Leadership + Mgmt concentration? It seems like TESU mainly just focuses on having the student write a capstone paper (or case studies) vs. having to write a longer paper for *every* class at UMPI?

UMPI is writing more but shorter papers - usually 1 paper per course (so roughly 10 papers).  TESU is going to be a LOT of writing for the capstone: I did the BSBA capstone, and it required FIVE 1-2 page papers equaling roughly what you'd write in posts if you do the online course; SEVEN 3-4 page case studies; and ONE final paper that is 25+ pages long.  All in a 12-week term.  It's a lot.  I enjoyed it (mostly), but I don't think it's easier than UMPI.

I realize that every student's experience can be different in writing papers and the difficulty will be based on the individual's writing ability, but, I greatly appreciate you sharing your experience. It sounds like the papers are more frequent, but, spread out more evenly among courses? If the cost is significantly less, then I think UMPI can be the better option.

Thanks,
