Can anybody give some advice on Thomas Edison?

Good Evening,

I have applied to Thomas Edison and have received my evaluation and they are accepting my entire Associates Degree in Bus Admin from community college. I am still in community taking 3 extra accounting courses to get me up to 80 credits.

My question is does anyone have any advice on how to go about the rest of my education at Thomas Edison. I will enroll for January needing Intermediate Accounting II, Auditing, Intro to Finance, Business in Society and Management Communication. The rest of my courses will be mix of business and general electives. My degree will be the Bachelor's in Bus Admin/Acct.

For the last 2 years, I have taken 5 classes in the fall and spring semesters and 4 in summer; I am used to 14 classes a year.

I do need 14 classes from T.E. and was looking for opinions if it could be done in year's time. Does anyone recommend the comprehensive tuition for 12 classes in one year but taking 4 classes a semester for 3 of the semesters, then pay again for 2 in the last semester of the year to make 14? Or are some of the general electives that I can pick from easy enough to test out of in order to finish in one year?

I really appreciate any comments or advice from someone who has experience in dealing with a similar situation.

Hello Driver6198,

I know if you have future plans in becoming a CPA earning your accounting degree is a bit more strict in requiring graded credits. Yes, you can definitely finish up within a year. You can use comprehensive for four semesters and take two teceps towards the end. Business policy has a reputation of being quite doable as a tecep exam (check the specific feedback section for feedback) and take a look at the list to choose one other. Teceps are now $99/each so I would use the comprehensive units for courses and pay out of pocket for your teceps. Thomas Edison State College/ All TECEP&reg Tests

There have been quite a few here who have studied accounting at TESC. Just do a search to weed through the information. Keep in mind this forum leans more towards folks who are doing a lot of testing. I would advise you to also take advantage of TESCs discussion forum to converse with fellow TESC students. When you log on to myedison click the community tab and you will see the link for discussion forum on the top right.

Good luck!!
