Bachelors in Accounting and Human Resources?

[Jenniferinfl]

I'm confused.  I guess I'm not understanding why you're here asking about WGU/TESU and alternative credits, and then talking about taking actual courses at TESU?  Why in the world would you take more than the cornerstone/capstone there??

If you go to TESU, you can expect to transfer in 116cr - however many from previous, and then any additional from SL/CLEP/DSST/Study.com, etc.

You don't have to have the specific courses that are listed there (FIN-301, MAN-372, ACC-402, or ACC-411).  Everything you need can be found alternatively.

I guess I'm not looking hard enough.. lol

I was searching the forums and it looked like other people ended up taking those classes at a B&M, which isn't really an option for me. Can't take those upper level courses locally without being enrolled in their program and having a whole bunch of prereqs. It looked like a couple people took those classes at CSU, which I'm exploring as an option. I guess it doesn't really matter yet as they are the upper level stuff I'll be taking last anyways. Perhaps some of the Study.com upper level stuff would work? Sorry, I'm really new to all of this. My preference would be to take no classes until I'm enrolled in a masters at WGU.

People on this forum are definitely not taking those courses B&M.  An entire BSBA in Accounting or BSBA in HR can be taken through alternative methods, except the capstone and cornerstone.

Here's a pdf of each degree.  It's probably a year old, there might be some minor changes, but basically you can follow either and be fine.

Thank you very much!

I'm working away at it, starting with the gen ed stuff and then moving into the business classes.

I hate to ask yet another question, I was lightly toying with the idea of maybe applying to Stetson for my masters instead of WGU. I'm local to Stetson and was offered a decent scholarship with them previously for my bachelor's degree that I couldn't pursue at the time due to work. They have both an online and a hybrid program. I would only go if they offered me a great scholarship which they MIGHT because I'm local and should be able to put up a decent GMAT score based on the practice tests I've taken.

Of course, they may not select me or they may select me and then may not offer enough of a scholarship to justify the expense. The reason I'm really interested in them is because they seem to have a relationship with Deloitte that WGU doesn't seem to have. I know I'm a bit old for it, but, would sure love a chance at getting my foot in the door.

They have a specific requirement that these particular classes be taken at a 4 year college:
ACCT 301
Federal Taxation of Individuals
ACCT 303
Financial Accounting I
ACCT 304
Financial Accounting II
ACCT 406
Auditing I
ACCT 410
Accounting Information Systems

This is probably another really stupid question, but does that mean that I have to take a traditional class for these specific classes rather than using something like Study.com? I'm sure that part of the requirement is because a local college offers these classes, but, at the 200 level. That information is located here: https://catalog.stetson.edu/graduate/bus...ancy/macc/
Granted, I know that it's probably a pretty big stretch and that I will likely go into the masters program at WGU, but, thought I might as well set myself to at least qualify to apply to Stetson.

I really appreciate the help! You have no idea how much of a difference this is making. When I went back to Daytona State back in 2010 the counselor there told me she didn't think it was likely that I could finish my Associate's degree. I had to come up with my own plan. My parents never went to college, none of my siblings went to college. I'm thrilled to finally have people I can ask about this stuff. If I seem like an incredible idiot, I apologize. I've never had anyone in my life who understood how the whole college thing worked.
