BSBA Area Of Study Recommendation Request

[Lewis.Yim]

I was reading earlier that for some reason, they allow Two Area Of Study with General Management.
I thought it was only just one area of study, so now I am changing my expected grad to December.
This is because I would like to get into another area as well, as a concentration, but haven't decided.

There are two or three I am interested in, Accounting, Marketing and CIS. I may favor Marketing for
the amount of test out able TECEPS, but is that the most cost effective one? Does someone have a
spreadsheet of which providers to use for these three options and recommended courses?

I looked at the spreadsheet I currently have, for Accounting, I may just need a few more courses.
The cost/ease and speed of finishing the courses are factors I am also looking at. I would like to do
these courses like I did with ALEKS and Straighterline, about 5 courses a month on average. Thanks!

I believe marketing is the cheapest and easiest now, besides GM. I don't think you would find the TECEPs as easy as SL/Study.com, but someone with good study skills can do them quickly.

CIS is not bad on cost, but of course you need to take some programming/networking type courses. It requires a $250 CSU-Global CBE, a $99 Straighterline course, and others that are cheaper.

I am not sure for Accounting. It seems that one real class might be required, or at least a $250 CSU-Global CBE.

Ops Man is not bad in terms of cost. I believe it's around the same as CIS.

I'm a little confused. Are you saying you want the General Management AOS PLUS 2 additional ones? Or General Management plus 1 additional one? Or 2 AOS's other than GM?

They will allow 2 AOS's within the BSBA (not within GM, since that's an AOS by itself).

Hello. I am deciding to change my BSBA GM to BSBA GM & another AOS.
Looking for simplest one to complete from Accounting, Marketing and CIS.

Marketing is definitely simpler than Accounting or CIS, unless you already know a programming language or a bunch of accounting.

The 12 UL Accounting Courses are pretty easy if you go the SL/Study Route. Study.com is going to have the whole AoS available once all there classes get approved. But in terms of right now

SL - Managerial Accounting - Comes in as ACC-303 Cost Accounting
Study.com - Applied Managerial Accounting - Comes in as ACC-301 Managerial Accounting
Study.com - Advanced Accounting I - Comes in as ACC-401 Advanced Accounting I
TECEP - Federal Income Taxation - Comes in as ACC-421 Federal Income Taxation

That is your cheapest AoS options. However not sure if you will need Intermediate I/II. I would hope so as these are needed. Right now your options for these is

SL - Financial Accounting - Comes in as ACC-201 Intermediate Accounting I
Penn Foster - Intermediate Accounting II
Community College - Intermediate Accounting II

Study.com Does have both Intermediate Accounting I/II but they haven't been approved yet for credit.

Thanks for the information! Accounting OR Marketing seem like a great choice as most courses are available for cheap.
Accounting II is what I am missing, which community college offers it cheap for non residents, I think Penn Foster is $329
Marketing, I'll need to take some TECEPS, I don't mind that as I will need to study hard for those exams.
CIS seems to be a good choice, but options are limited and more costly. I'll decide on Accounting or Marketing.

I think the CIS is actually the best priced AOS. The CSU-Global course, which is a requirement, is expensive at $250, but then there are a bunch of Saylor courses which will more than make up for that cost.
