Business Degree Wanted

[tayger91]

Ok, need a bit more detail.

1) List whether the schools are semester-based, or quarter-based (a bunch of the CSU's have changed from Q to S the last few years). I think Channel Island is Semester, while CalPoly is Quarter. But I don't know about the CC and can't tell by looking
2) Put the years that he went to each school
3) Does he want a BSBA with a General Management concentration?

Cal poly was quarter, jc and Channel Islands are semester. Cal poly was 2009-2011, jc was 2012, Channel Islands was 2014-2016. He honestly just wants whatever degree would be easiest to get at this point. We just assumed business since he had so many of the classes from Channel Islands. Open to any concentration that makes most sense.

Thank you so much for all of the help!!

More questions - CalPoly, Calc III - how many credits?
And, did the Physics I, II, & III courses have labs?

Calc III - 4.00
Yes - all three physics were 3 lecture 1 lab

Ok, I have a degree plan.  I think a BSBA is his fastest route, simply because of the UL courses in Business that will fit perfectly.

If I were advising him, I would tell him to do the following:
1) Take Stats through ALEKS ($20) or Saylor ($25)
2) Take the Insurance Ethics course (Free)
3) Take Intro to Computer Science through Saylor ($25)
4) Take Principles of Finance through Saylor ($25)
5) Take BUS210: Corporate Communication through Saylor ($25)
6) Take English Comp II and International Business through Study.com ($199 for a month, but gets him the discount) - he can also take any of the above courses through Study.com if he wants, but I'm guessing he can pass #1, 2, & 3 without breaking a sweat.
7) Send any and all completed courses to ACE
8) Apply to TESU as soon as the Study.com courses are done - as an affiliate member
9) Register to take the capstone
10) Graduate.  I'm guessing he could be done with his courses before he starts the capstone if he jumped on it.

oh my goodness, this is so helpful! he is really close! this sounds like a great and doable plan! a few quick questions...

-i'm not that familiar with the saylor route...basically he would go through the provided information and take an online proctored test? and it the cost for that $25 or $100 (just trying to make sense of the cost calculations) i know it said $25 for the test and $20 to eventually get a transcript, are there other fees associated?
-is there any insight into about the time required per saylor course? i looked at the intro to stats one and added up the hours noted for all units and it was 99 hours which i might not be able to get him on board for haha. do you just need to 'go over the material' and then take each unit quiz and the final assessment? or are there other assignments
-would the MS windows administration or fundamentals: computer network not count for the intro to computing?
-what kind of time commitment is the capstone?

Thank you again so much for everything! I can't even express how grateful we are!

I know virtually nothing about Saylor courses, and have never taken one. I was just thinking that for many of these, he wouldn't need to take the course - he could actually just take the practice final exam, then take the for-credit final and pass and move on. The courses themselves are free, the proctored final exams are $25.

Others on here could give you more info.

If you opt to use another provider, the cost will be different - the $100/course is just an average, depending on which course you actually use, it could be more or less.

Wouldn't OPs "ME 211 Engineering Statistics 3.00 C" count for the statistics requirement? Unless that's supposed to be "engineering statics" since it's ME? or unless it's only worth 2 credits since it's quarter units?

You caught me - I didn't look closely at the ME courses (I sorted by course number).  It probably would work.

There are quite a few 'should work' due to the quarter hour conversion.  It would be a good idea at this point to have him apply, send all the transcripts and see what TESU officially evaluates them as counting towards.
