Hello everyone. I need some General Education Requirement help. I plan on going to Thomas Edison State College (TESC) and getting my B.S. in Business Administration. Just for some background information. I don't have any credits at the moment, but I am currently taken FEMA courses online. So far I have 13 done and plan on doing another 15 for a total of 28. I heard these courses will meet if not all, at least the vast majority of my electives.
First...in the General Education Requirement category, I only need 6 credits in the Natural Sciences/Mathematics section. Will the College Mathematics CLEP for 6 credits be sufficient or should I take College Algebra for 3 credits and maybe Pre-Calculus for 3 credits giving me a total of 6? It seems as though precalculus is a must for getting a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. I plan on being an Accountant one day.
Second...In the Management Core Requirement category...they have listed on TESC's catalog a class called "Legal Environment for Business." What Clep or Dantes exam is the equivalent for this? My guess was Introductory Business Law CLEP but I want to hear from you guys to be sure.
Third...For the Core requirement category again...I only need 3 credits for the Financial Accounting category to get an Associates Degree. Should I take the Financial Accounting exam with CLEP for 6 credits, or just take the Principles of Financial Accounting with DANTES for 3 credits.
They also said that I need 6 credits for Business Electives, 6 credits for the Free Electives category, and 3 credits for the General Education Electives. What exams are the equivalent of these as well.
I'm just trying to get a roadmap set of all the CLEP/DANTES exams I will have to take to get my degree. Just wanted to put them all in order so I can see the path I have before me. I made a goal on getting my B.S degree by September 2008. Based on listening to you guys on this forum, it seems like a task that CAN be accomplished. Any help I can get on this matter will be greatly appreciated...You Guys Are Great! Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone in the Pursuit of Happiness! At the bottom I have included a list that I've gathered so far of all the exams I need to take to at least get my associates degree.
