BSBA GM -TESU help with degree plan

[dfrecore]

Dumb question here - why would you get the BSBA in General Management and then an ASNSM, when you could get a BSBA in CIS? Wouldn't that be a LOT easier? I personally hate the BSBA-GM, I think it's stupid trying to get 3 out of 4 areas covered. Choosing a specific concentration when you have an interest in an area is a MUCH better way to go.

There are no dumb questions. I will think about this.

I thought it would be less work with ASNSM(I am one course away from getting it) than BSBA in CIS.

With CIS I would have to take A: Programming, B: CIS-320, C: CIS Electives(although I took Cyber, 101, 201, 301 at TEEX)

Take your pick between the Davar or the Study.com courses I mentioned earlier, it won't really matter which route you go as Davar would be slightly cheaper/easier/faster but they're NCCRS, Study.com is ACE recommended for credit.  In regards to pricing, both of these are on a monthly membership and include two courses.   I would do a mix of Davar/Study.com if I had a choice... see below.

Davar Business courses are $99/month and $15/course proctoring, so it's $129 for two business courses a month, or $258 for 4 courses in two months.  Study.com is $199/month and includes two courses (and their corresponding exams).  If you need an extra Study.com exam, it's $70/exam and you can take up to an extra 3 in that one month.  If you do cram 4 exams in one month, it'll be $199+140=$339.

I also noticed your signature, if you're thinking of a TESU BA Sociology, you may want to get the BALS Social Science instead as it would be cheaper/easier/faster.  If you ever needed to go into a Masters program, unless it's from a "top tier school", for the majority of the Liberal Arts degree programs, a basic BALS would suffice as long as you have the prerequisites...

TESU approved the Study.com courses.  They say no to ICC Managerial Accounting "The Instant Cert course is not approved because the course content is the same as credit you've already earned for Financial Accounting."  

Should I pick another course or I am good?

I added BA Sociology after my friend's recommendation who works for the court system.  He said if I want to find a job(Probation officer or Investigator) in the court I need a Bachelor's Degree in the Behavioral or Social Sciences OR a BD in any area including or supplemented by 24 credit hours in the Behavioral or Social Sciences.  I picked BA in Sociology it gave me 83 credits.  I could not see how many credits I would get from TESU BA in Social Sciences, it came as an error.

Stay the current course for ASNSM Comp Sci and BSBA General Management as they are easier for you to finish faster, you're just one course away from each in the Area of Study.  I would recommend the BSBA CIS if you didn't start the AOS yet, but this would be the best option and provide the least resistance to completion... That's my recommendation as I'm always awesome and assume you want the cheap/easy/fast and value/ROI.

In regards to the ICC Managerial Accounting course, that should come in as Upper Level, it will not conflict with your lower level Financial Accounting course, it should not have mattered.  They may have confused the two courses ICC has, the Financial Accounting should come in as ACC-101 or ACC-102 Intro to Financial Accounting, the Managerial Accounting should come in as ACC-312 Financial Accounting II.   Just reply to them, thank them first and indicate in ACE, ICC Managerial Accounting is recommended as upper level credit and that they have two courses, you want the UL credit not the LL credit...

Finally, as I mentioned in my previous post, your BALS Social Science is exactly what you need.  It gives you 15 UL in the Social Sciences and also 15 LL in the Social Sciences, thus more than exceeds the 24 credits mentioned by your friend.   Follow through with emailing Advising to change your BALS to Social Sciences.  You must take courses such as AOJ (CJ criminal justice), Psychology, Sociology, etc to hit those behavoral or social sciences, the cheap TEEX, Study.com options will do!

I wonder if they've recently hired more people for advising or something. Because I also got some nonsense with my TEEX courses that I need to get straightened out. They've got a reputation for being a bit silly at times but this is just really ridiculous. There shouldn't be confusion like this with the InstantCert course or with my TEEX course.

ICC Managerial Accounting should NOT be conflicting with Financial Accounting, which should have come in as ACC-101.  ICC's Managerial Acct should come in as either ACC-102 (regular managerial accounting) like it does from Davar (also an UL Managerial Acct course that TESU doesn't bring in as UL) or as ACC-301 (Applied Managerial Accounting).

I would ask again, they are wrong.

I did email them three or four times already.  They keep on saying that ICC is a duplicate (too similar) of ACC-101 in my core section, even though the equivalency is different. I am attaching my updated eval with what they approved.  If you guys have any suggestions for filling the gaps, I will appreciate your help.

Nothing has changed in the updated file you have... I would do this, for the extra experience, take the ICC Managerial Accounting and also do another course from Davar, but if you want to save cash/energy/money, then choose a Davar or Study.com course in place of that UL Managerial Accounting, you can take Cost Accounting or something different:

Here's my recommendation again on the first page of this thread...
Davar Academy Link: https://www.davaracademy.com/business.html
Choose between FIN-334 International Finance and FIN-311 Corporate Finance

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong file. So do I have to take an accounting course?
