Back at it and have some TESC and SL Questions

[Mhamilton5]

I was making some really nice progress, but over the last 6 months or so, I have been in the middle of selling and buying a home, packing, Disney, unpacking, and the chaos of it all during the holidays. With all of the distractions behind me, I am determined to finish my last 50 credits in order to get my BSBA from TESC. I applied during the summer, but my 6 months have passed and will most likely be under the new policies.

With all of that said, I would appreciate some insight on the things I have missed:

- Are there any big changes at TESC that I should be aware of?
- I have noticed the SL has added several business classed that I need, and would like to know if I should go that route, or CLEP?
- How or what effects has SL's new policy on proctored exams affected things?

Any other feedback is greatly appreciated...

Happy New Year!!

Well, the biggest change with TESC has been their new general education requirements. I don't know if you've heard about that yet, but here are some thread's discussing it. Anyone applying/enrolling after July 1st, 2013 will be under these new requirements.

Here's the links directly from TESC. The first lists the requirements and the second lists courses that can be used.

Welcome back, Mike!

In addition to the above changes, TESC requires 12 of the 18 required hours in the area of study (in your case, accounting), be at the 300/400 level. This might not be important to know, unless you are planning to transfer in accounting credits earned at a community college. Although other degree programs have been updated on the TESC website to reflect this, BSBA programs have not.
