High Schooler Options - BSBA / BABA

[bjcheung77]

@prettykiti09, which state are you in, which institution is she attending for dual enrolment?  Some states have community colleges that require only 25% of the degree completed at the institution, others may have more, depending on the institution or state regulations.  My recommendation of getting the Associates on route to the Bachelors doesn’t require any extra work or unnecessary classes.

Why get an associates you may ask? Well, it’s from a local institution and you’re getting the classes practically free or extremely inexpensive.  You’re using this for RA, graded credit just in case she’s going to a semi-competitive grad program, and it’s used towards your Bachelors.  How does it work you ask? The Associates degree seamlessly gets transferred entirely into the general education and electives of the Bachelors.

If you’re wondering, it goes like this, dual enrolment along with CLEP/AP for Associates, these go towards the Bachelors, take the remaining credits of both lower and upper level from ACE/NCCRS sources until you hit the 113 credits towards Excelsior University BSLA.  Graduate both the High School and Associates at the same time when you hit those 113 credits, finish the remaining 7 credits at Excelsior and voila, you’re done!

Essentially, several of our high school students have resourcefully planned their Associates, Bachelors combo and have finished one right after the other.  An example of someone doing the CC Associates, TESU BA Comp Sci, and the WGU MBA and being the youngest in history for the Associates at the CC, plus youngest at TESU… My third time posting this link: https://modernstates.org/news/how-to-get...gh-school/
