Roadmap for New TESC Student

[dodek101]

I am planning on perusing BSBA in General Management at TESC.

Could anybody here give me roadmap (looking at my evaluation) from what to test out and what to take as Guided Study course?

I am a bit confused what courses do I have to take to finish my BSBA, can anybody help me out with that?

I am attaching my evaluation.

I will be grateful for you advise.

I'll give it a whack. You are in great shape to test out entirely or take a course or two. I strongly encourage you to consider filling in GenEd credits using ALEKS/CLEP College Mathematics. You already have PreCalc credits so the easier math credits should be a breeze. Here is what you appear (I think)to have left.


GENERAL EDUCATION
A) Eng 101 & Eng 102 (need 6 credits)– CLEP or Straighterline
B) Mgr/Bus Communications (need 3 credits) – Straighterline Business Communication
G) Statistics (need 2 more credits) ALEKS or DSST Principles of Statistics
H) Nat Science/Mat (need 2 credits) ALEKS Math
I) GenEd electives (need 10 credits) more ALEKS math and/or 6 credit CLEP General Mathematics

CORE AREA
B) Business Law (3 credits) – CLEP Introduction to Business Law
C) Computer Lit (3 credits) – CLEP Information Systems or Computer Applications or DSST Intro to Computing
D) Principles of Finance (3 credits) – DSST Principle of Finance or (backup) Penn Foster Financial Management ($270 self paced course)
G) Business in Society (3 credits) – DSST Business Ethics & Society
H) Business Policy (3 credits) – TECEP Business Policy or TESC course or appeal*
Business Electives – (need 5 credits) see appeal (Organizational Design below)* DSST Intro to Business and/or DSST Principles of Supervision (both easy)

*Notes: Dig up the original course description for Strategic Management and compare to Business Policy, you may appeal if the course description is the same. Also appeal the MAN 299 Organizational Design, claiming that it should be placed in Business Electives instead of “other courses”.

where did you take these 1 credit business courses at? Are they available online? Like the investment banking course where did you get that from?

Thnx, Geezer

"I) GenEd electives (need 10 credits) more ALEKS math and/or 6 credit CLEP General Mathematics"

I am not that big on math, I would like to avoid math as much as possible. Are those GenEd electives could be substituted with something else then math?

SRT12, they are foreign earn, and they really should be 4 credits lecture+ lab

Yes, absolutely. You will need to fill (H Nat Science ) with another 2 credits, but that could include DSST Astronomy or a Computing course. Ask your advisor if you can take the CLEP Information Systems & Computer Applications to fill this hole and the DSST Intro to Computing for the BSBA core ©.

Then any GenEd's can fill the GenEd electives. The 6 credit Analyzing & Interpreting Lit is a popular choice.

Here is the TESC breakdown of how the CLEP/DSST/TECEP's apply. There are plenty to choose from. Undergraduate Ways to Earn Credit - Thomas Edison State College - acalog ACMSâ„¢

I noticed you had taken a couple of German language courses. I don't know how proficient you are, but there are CLEP German language exams worth up to 12 credits. Those would fall under GenEd.
