BSBA and BSAST critique

[morig]

I wanted to see if one of you would be able to take a look at my degree plans.

My TESU BSBA general management and BSAST technical studies are included.
Also on the last page is a list of most of my credits in case I missed anything that I can apply towards my degrees.

Currently waiting for the following 3 courses to show up on my JST:
ACE | Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services Credit Recommendation: In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 1 semester hour in interviewing or career counseling.
ACE | Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services Credit Recommendation: In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 1 semester hour in office procedures.
ACE | Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services Credit Recommendation: In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 1 semester hour in military science.

Hopefully they can count for something in the near future. Will check on TESU MVP one they show up.

I'm not sure what we're supposed to be looking for?

The only thing I can see is that you need to take a FIN or MAR course in the AOS for the BSBA, you only have MAN and ACC covered. Study.com has a Digital Marketing course that will work, and it's UL.

Are you planning on getting the BSAST first, and then going back for the BSBA? That's normally a better plan than the other way around.

Missing the MAR/FIN is a good catch thank you.

Well I'm thinking about doing both degrees if possible, although if I can only do one it is fine.
I would prefer to complete the BSBA first, the waiver fees for the BSAST may not matter due to the possibility of my work and/or military splitting the cost later.

The problem with doing the BSBA first is that you can't bring any of your credits from the Navy that are currently in the BSAST AOS into your degree after the BSBA. You're basically starting from scratch. Think of it like you're going for your BSBA, and then when you're done, there's a "freeze" on all of your credits. Now, you have to go and get 24 NEW credits for the AOS for the BSAST. Nothing you've already taken will count. So, at that point, the BSAST is gone. You can't get 24 new credits for the BSAST without spending a LOT of money.

You have to get the BSAST first, and then you can easily get the 24 new credits for the BSBA in the Core/AOS. Easily and cheaply.

And, if you do it within a year, the residency waiver doesn't need to be paid again, so it will only cost you maybe $500 or so to get the BSBA (24cr plus a new graduation fee).

Also, you may want to switch to Study.com for the Tech Writing and Project Management courses, it will save you some money.
