I have created a degree plan for the business admin concentration at COSC. I'll post it to the WIKI is nobody sees any obvious errors on it.

Microeconomics (CLEP Microeconomics) (L)
Macroeconomics (CLEP Macroeconomics) (L)
Financial Accounting 3cr (CLEP Financial Accounting)
Managerial Accounting 3cr (Uexcel Managerial Accounting )
Finance 3cr (DSST Principles of Finance)
Management Information Systems 3cr (DSST Management Information Systems)
Organizational Behavior 3cr (ECE Organizational Behavior) (L)

-Business Electives – Must be Upper Level – 12cr
DSST Money and Banking – 3cr
DSST Business Ethics in Society – 3cr (L)
DSST Business Law II – 3cr
Uexcel Human Resources Management – 3cr

COSC General Education Requirements (note: all are liberal arts credits)

DSST Intro to Computing
DSST Criminal Justice (L)
TECEP Advertising
24 – FEMA Courses or Any Combination of CBE’s (NOTE: A BA could be earned if the 24 additional electives are Liberal Arts credits)

If my math is right, this should amount to 120 credits, with 64 Liberal Arts and 30 Upper Level credits.

At COSC, the Human Resource Management DSST is lower level, but the ECE (Uexcel?) for the same subject is upper level.

I am also only finding 27 upper level credits, but I could be missing something.

Organizational Behavior 3cr (ECE Organizational Behavior) (L)
Capstone in Strategic Management
DSST Money and Banking – 3cr
DSST Business Ethics in Society – 3cr (L)
DSST Business Law II – 3cr
DSST Human Resources Management – 3cr [change to Uexcel?]
DSST Civil War and Reconstruction (L)
DSST Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union (L)
DSST Substance Abuse (L)

I am using the ECE World Conflicts for another upper level.


I see that you have Substance Abuse in there twice.

I was counting Substance Abust twice, which made 30 but it was only 27. I changed the second Substance Abuse to TECEP in the original post.

Also, you were right about the Human Resources Management DSST being Lower Level. I fixed it in the original post.

Thanks!

Topdog98 caught what I was going to say. The only other issue I have is that you give one option for everything. There are so many other easier options for social/behavioral sciences.

I was mainly trying to get it up and posted as quickly as I could because I was in a hurry at work. I plan to go back and add more options for the General Education Requirements later this evening.

There are so many other easier options for social/behavioral sciences.

Also, Macro & Microeconomics are required classes which count for social/behavioral sciences, so you really don't have to take another exam for this general ed. requirement.

If the Civil War and Soviet Union tests are taken, this would take care of the US history, the non-US history, and the global understanding requirements.

Good point. But the total liberal arts credits, and the 120 credit minimum would still have to be met.

You have a good plan. Did you take the DSST Principles of Finance yet?

I've already graduated. I'm just working on a viable plan for future students.
