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

Hey did they accept Statistics from Sophia for the business stats?

Hey did they accept Statistics from Sophia for the business stats?

 When I started this journey, it was a lot easier to get these degrees by online courses, CLEP, etc. Everybody has gotten stricter. And looking at the amount of courses I needed to take still, it just didn't/doesn't seem practical when I'm running a full-time business. So long story short is that I never moved forward with it past this stage of planning. Excelsior seemed to be the easiest but also the most vague.
