At the beginning of Dec ALEKS told me their "advanced customer solutions team" is working on it (whatever that means), and that they'd follow up with me on any updates. I haven't heard anything, but the fact that the expiration date has been extended twice now leads me to believe they probably are working with ACE. But who knows, that is entirely my speculation and I don't know anymore than anyone else.

Jennifer might have some insight since she knows someone within the ACE organization.

I don't have anything new either. ????

Wow excellent post! I will start right away! I was on the website and not sure where to sign up exactly but I'll check the threads we have here.

You say 3 or 4 courses, so these count towards let's say...a MATH 50 or 51 (MATH 101) or something equivalent? Not too great at math (it's been about 7 years) so let's see how I do.

ONLY choose from the list of maths that are college credit eligible. ALEKS has a zillion math courses, many share the same name. Be sure to click as follows:
ALEKS.com ---> course products ---> ACE Credit Courses

I still got 2 more mandatory courses to complete, PreCalc and Intro to Stats, And probably queeze in beginning alegebra last if I still got time.

For the BSBA, Precalc is not mandatory at all, it only counts as a Gen Ed Elective, and if you don't have time, I would skip it. Stats is much more important.

ALEKS' Beginning Algebra, although ACE-recommended, will not be accepted by TESU. It will be accepted by COSC.

@dfrecore, you're the one person that has helped me get a better grasp of what I need to do, thank you and I wanred to also say I know precalc s not mandatory, and also TESU reduced the Math requirement to 3 credit, which us Statisics preferred as mentuioned on the program requirements page. Sonantome's guide did say it was 6 needed and one more for the Quantitative Literacy section making 9 total credits, that needs to be updated, but my plan us to take all those Math in Aleks and use some for the Gen Ed electives as you mentioned, if oossible queeze in Beginning Algebra as well.

But, I wonder if the amount of Math courses I can use for the Gen Ed electives would be limited, because I don't using them as it would total 15 credits, that way more than a steal for $20, and since Shmoop now cost higher for the 9 credits one can get there.

Sorry OP, don't wanna jack your thread, this are valuable information that you would need as well.

ALEKS can be used as follows:

At TESU-
Intermediate Algebra (BA et al. quantitative, general ed or free elective for BSBA)
College Algebra (BSBA quantitative)
Precalculus OR Trig (general ed elective)
Any one statistics (BSBA mathematics)

At COSC-
Beginning Algebra (general ed elective)
Intermediate Algebra (general ed elective)
College Algebra (quantitative literacy requirement)
Statistics (BSBA et al. requirement)

At Excelsior:
Beginning Algebra (BSLA math requirement, general ed or free elective)
NOT Intermediate Algebra because it duplicates
College Algebra (BSBA requirement)
Precalculus OR Trig (Arts and Sciences elective)
Statistics (BSBA requirement)

TESU reduced the Math requirement to 3 credit, which us Statisics preferred as mentuioned on the program requirements page.

Statistics isn't "preferred," it's mandatory. And you still require an additional math course on top of it. From TESU's degree page for the BSBA GM:

[table="width: 500, class: grid"]
[tr]
[td]Degree Requirements[/td]
[td]Credits[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]The following courses are required for the BSBA Degree in General Management and can be fulfilled in either the General Education or Electives sections of the degree chart.[/td]
[td]6[/td]

• College Algebra or Quantitative Business Analysis within Intellectual and Practical Skills section of General Education requirements.

[td](3)[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]

• Statistics within Math section of General Education requirements.

[/td]
[td](3)[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]


But you're right, it used to require 6cr math + 3cr statistics separately, now it only requires 3cr algebra + 3cr statistics.

if oossible queeze in Beginning Algebra as well

Don't waste your time on Beginning Algebra for TESU, they don't accept it (even as an elective.)

Yes, they recently changed the math requirement for the BSBA from 6cr to 3cr. But, they still require College Algebra and Stats for the degree, that hasn't changed. And TESU won't accept Beginning Algebra as a college-level course, although you can certainly take it and put it on your ACE transcript. Can't hurt, just won't be used at TESU.

You can use a lot of math credits to fulfill the Gen Ed Electives area (or Free Electives), as many as you want and can find. I got ALEKS' Intermediate Algebra, the Liberal Arts TECEP, and Finite Math in my GE Electives.

If you enjoy math, you can also take Shmoop's Finite Math (which should come in as MAT-110) and Geometry (??), and CLEP's College Mathematics (MAT-102/103), none of which duplicate the ALEKS courses. Of course there are the higher-level math courses as well (Calc I & II).

I'm testing out for all courses, atleast that I know is what I'm hoping for, so no Clep, Dsst and or any test center bs, I'm too old for that.

Usually, CLEP & DSST is what's considered "testing out" for courses, and everything else (SL, Study.com, ALEKS, Shmoop, etc.) are considered online courses are not testing out.
