Flelm's BSAST and BSBA Degree Plan and Accountability Thread

[dfrecore]

Other information cut out, but they really want me to get a masters rather than 2 Bachelors. I am not doing that. I'm only doing a second bachelors because I basically only have to take 1 additional class through TESU to get it done.

So my goal from the first post is still on track: have BSAST requirements for March graduation, and have the BSBA requirements for the September graduation.

OF COURSE they want you to get a masters! That's because they stand to make a boatload of money if you do. I would stick with your plan, it's a good one.

My only thought is that you might want to take the 2 additional courses and do the CPA track, so that you get those courses onto your transcript. But it's not a necessity.

Yeah, it's way too much more work and money to get a masters. If I did anything, it would be an MBA a few (5-10) years down the line.

I'm planning on doing Project Management through Sophia since it will count for both degrees. I see you took that, how was it?

Also, a side note: When I switched my degree to BSAST to see how the degree requirement would fill out, they used 6 of my OPM credits without me asking. "Ok to use OPM-331, OPM-313 & OPM-332 here since they related to Manufacturing Eng Tech courses." So I don't need any more UL credits, just the capstone and Project Management.

I thought the Sophia PM course was good. Their dashboard setup is good, and the course is easy to maneuver through.

Quick update. I passed the College Comp CLEP. TESU has the results but hasn't added it to my evaluation yet. I also passed the Institutes ethics course, and have added it to my ACE transcript.

I have the Capstone, APS-401 Current Trends & Applications starting on Monday 9/26. I'm a little concerned but hopefully it should go well.

I signed up with Study.com for Project Management. To maximize my return there I'm also going to do Technical Writing through them, as opposed to the DSST. My 5 day trial ends today, and I'm 25% through Technical Writing already.

Once I finish with Study.com, I'll be signing up for SL Intro to Comm and American Gov't. I'll also add in Saylor for Comparative Politics for the Diversity requirement.

So, as of right now, still on track to apply for the December cut off.

You're starting the Capstone in the October term? That doesn't get you done in time for December graduation. According to the website you'd have to do March: Thomas Edison State University: Graduation Information

I understand. I meant the December application deadline, for March graduation. Sorry for the confusion.
