EU LA credit evaluation

[debrag]

I have now received my evaluation toward lib arts at EU. I have 37 credits to get. What suggestions can you give me.

I'd really like an actual named degree over a lib arts degree, can any be done fully with alt credits?

What do you mean by a named degree? Your evaluation shows that you're working on a Bachelor of Science. That is the degree. Do you mean a different major than Liberal Arts?

A BLS is what it is. You have 83cr applied to this degree. If you switch to a "named" degree (a different major) like Business or History or whatever, you'll lose a LOT of credits. Which is fine for some - but since you don't really have a major you're pursuing, I'm not sure it will do you much good.

If you don't want a BSL, then my suggestion is to stop earning credits and figure out what degree you really want. If you just want "a" degree, then make a plan to finish.
----------------------------------------
For the EU BLS, here's what you still need (not counting the 7cr you need at EU):

18cr of UL in the liberal arts (Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science & Math)
- these can be done through Study.com or Coopersmith (or others, but these are the best bets)
*make sure you choose courses that EU brings in as UL and in those categories

6cr of UL in Free Electives
- these can be done through many different exam/course providers

6cr of LL in Free Electives
- these can be done through literally anywhere

I don't recall what your previous degree was in, I think you were going for the Pierpont BOG AAS or something and then now laddering to a BSLA... I think this is a great option due to the flexibility of courses coming in, another option would be their BS Professional Studies, that is if you want to go for a particular concentration such as Technology Management. You really need to "decide" on the degree before adding more courses to your completed list... I would focus on that until you decide on the degree, then get the remaining credits using ACE/NCCRS credits due to their cost effectiveness.

Nope not doing a Pierpoint AAS.

Of course a BLS is what it is. I was actually doing a HS degree with UoPeople, I have stopped that now but I would really like something other than a general degree especially as I am paying for it.

I picked the lib arts degree as a means to apply to EU and then looking at different degrees and what alt-courses I would take. I'm now thinking that business it the best one as criminal justice or health science/management would mean taking courses with EU above the 7 required.

No I don;t need this degree for a masters.

Does EU have what some other universities have where you can see where your credits fit within other degrees?

Essentially, It'll be similar to what your current one has, with a different name of the degree you're going for, such as BS Professional Studies or whatever you decide to get an evaluation of... You just need to concentrate on what the remaining requirements are to finish the degree.

In your particular case, I would re-read post #3 as it's been explained. Your 7 credits remaining will be from the required course at Excelsior. Take the required courses from affordable ACE/NCCRS options such as Sophia.org/Study.com and you're good to go, hope the final courses are smooth sailing for you.

If you want a BSB, you need 55cr:
Business Ethics
Microeconomics
Org Behavior (UL)
MAT-303: Quantitative Analysis - Coopersmith (UL)

Core (at least 4 of these should be UL, capstone counts as 1):
Managerial Accounting (no UL avail)
Business Law (no UL avail)
Business Communication
Principles of Management
Principles of Marketing (no UL avail)
Finance
International Management
Strategic Management Capstone (UL)

Concentration:
2 LL and 3 UL business courses

--------------------------------------------
If you want a BPS, you need 49cr:
Business Ethics (UL)
1 UL A&S course

PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT (15cr of UL overall):

PROFESSIONAL CORE
Principles of Management
Leadership
Project Management

BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT CORE (min of 9cr UL)
Human Resource Management
Principles of Marketing
Finance
Org Behavior (UL)
International Management
Integrated Business & Management Assessment Capstone (UL)

PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT ELECTIVES (min of 6cr UL):
2 LL and 2 UL business courses

Kind of confusing, but overall, the Professional Component must have 15cr of UL, 9cr in the Bus & Mgmt Core and 6cr in the Professional Component Electives.

--------------------------------------------

Whichever you choose, I'd plan out the UL first.
