Can I complete a BSAST and ASBA concurrently at TESC?

[gshelley61]

I applied to TESC on SEP 20th and recently had all my transcripts and military training records evaluated for transfer credit.

I am 12 credits away from completing their BSAST in Aviation Flight (just need Technical Writing, Physics I & II and the APS capstone)

I plan on taking the Technical Writing DSST within a couple of weeks, and I've got the Physics books I need to study for the UExcel exam (although I wish Straighterline Physics was available already)

I will take the APS Current Trends capstone as soon as I can after enrolling (probably will enroll in early FEB and start the capstone in MAR)

I understand that I cannot submit credits towards a second bachelors (BSBA) at TESC until after the graduation date of the first bachelors.

However, it appears I could enroll in both their BSAST and ASBA concurrently and earn credits towards both at the same time, correct?

If that is the case, I can go ahead and work on the credits I need to complete the ASBA right away, is that right?

To finish their ASBA I need Accounting I & II, Business Law, Principles of Management and Principles of Marketing.

I'm thinking that I may be able to earn the credits I need for the BSAST and the ASBA by the end of JUN so I can graduate with both in SEP.

Then, after the SEP graduation date, start submitting/earning more credits towards a BSBA - finish that by the end of DEC, and graduate in MAR with the second bachelors.

Will that work? Any problems with this plan that stick out?

I know that TESC will award one associate's and one bachelor's concurrently, but others will have more details. But one thing to note... You don't mention if you are still in the military, but if you are and are using TA to foot the bill, TESC requires you take six courses to get their TA rate and waive the huge enrollment fee. That's 18 months one course at a time.

Gshelley61,

I am unsure of the specific military reqs but for non-military enrollment, yes this plan is doable.

In regards to Dcan's comment, there was a work around for the 18cr requirement; just do a search.

Good luck!

Sounds good, thanks... I'll start gathering what I need to take those business courses and tests

I'm no longer in the service, so the non-military enrollment policies would apply to me

You are welcome.

IMO straigherline is great for Accounting I/II (google the buy one get one free coupon) and CLEP the other business courses...marketing, management and business law. You will have something to keep you busy over the winter months and be finished in no time at all.

* for the coupon you need add both courses to your cart at the time of purchase. I always note this because I screwed it up and the advisor had to add it for me later...LOL.
