Help me evaluate my degree plan—TESU BSBA General Management - gorilla_eight - 03-26-2017

I wish I had found this forum sooner! I'd love your input on my degree plan for a BSBA-General Management from TESU.

Already completed/soon to be completed:
  • All general ed requirements, including statistics+algebra for the BSBA requirements.

Professional Business Requirements:
  • Financial Accounting (TESU Course, currently taking)
  • Managerial Accounting—Study.com
  • Macro/Microeconomics—StraighterLine
  • Principes of Management—Saylor
  • Principles of Marketing—Saylor
  • Business Law—Saylor
  • Management Information Systems—Saylor
  • Principles of Finance—Study.com
  • Corporate Communications: Saylor
  • Business in Society—TECEP
  • Strategic Management—TECEP


General Management Focus:
  • Advanced Accounting—Study.com
  • Human Resource Management—Study.com
  • Financial Institutions and Markets—DSST
  • Organizational Behavior—DSST
  • Public Relations—TECEP
  • Advertising—TECEP

Electives:
  • Chemistry—CLEP (need to test out of intro chem in order to start general chem 1/2 at local school next year)
  • Advanced Operations Management—Study.com

I have a great track record with TECEPs and CLEPs so far, have studied using Saylor courses, but have not done any testing on Saylor, Study.com, StraighterLine, or DSST.

Any input, feedback, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not a business major so take this for what its worth. I have taken some of the classes from other sources though.

Taking as much of this through Saylor will be the cheapest option at $25 per exam, and especially since you already have a track record of courses with them.

Apply for the study.com Guardian scholarship and you can get six courses for free so that would take care of all the study.com classes you have listed plus one of the straighterline classes maybe. You could also use the study.com material and the Saylor material to study for the DSST options. You may need some additional resources too but it wouldn't hurt to at least print out all the flashcards and use them for things like the Organizational Behavior DSST. Worse case scenario, if you don't get the scholarship and don't want to pay for the membership, go ahead and get the free trial and access to the material to study (I think they give you 5 days free).

I had already taken Business Law, Accounting I, Human Resources Management and Micro Econ at another college so I can't speak to most of the courses here. I did take Org Behavior from study.com and they let you take assessments. They give you 30 questions in each assessment and you can take it several times. I tested out of 40% of the course after a try or two. You might get even further and its a really easy course (IMO). I think I finished it in two days - maybe three?

Good luck. I'm sure a business major could chime in here and give their input on specific courses. I'm considering taking some of these courses after I finish my capstone.
