Excelsior: Can you help me with a degree plan?

[dfrecore]

I wouldn't be afraid of TESU's RA credit requirements. You can easily/cheaply fill those requirements with TECEPs, Finnish credits, TEL Learning, and/or ASU Universal Learner. Possibly plus a flat-rate term.

With Excelsior, IIRC, only 9 credits of a BLS can be in a "professional" area. Everything else needs to be liberal arts. That means most business things are out.

If you're going for a Business degree, I don't think any communications course on SDC counts for the English/Writing requirement. You need to take the Business  Communications course from Coopersmith.

With TESU, because of RA requirement, I end up needing like 60 credits for the BSBA Entrepreneurship degree. Looks like I need about 36 or so for EU, and all but three are SDC courses.

I don't know what Excelsior IIRC is. Can you explain?

Business Communications from Coopersmith. You mean for the Business Communications requirement in the Business Component section? Because you already said English Comp 1 (SDC or Sophia) and Business Writing from Coopersmith for the English requirement.

And how do you know the Coopersmith course will work? I don't even see it listed on the degree wiki link you gave.

Thanks.

For Excelsior: the Business Communications requirement in the business core can be done with SDC's BUS 324: Managerial Communication (and no, Leadership Communication will not count towards this specific requirement as far as I know).

How about this for an updated plan. I added two classes I don't need, because they look interesting. Otherwise, it now fits the 30 UL requirement. (Lines of stars indicate I still have to take the class.)

Only thing I don't know yet is whether/where I have to take Business Statistics for the EU BSBA
