Flelm's BSAST and BSBA Degree Plan and Accountability Thread

[Flelm]

My current plan is to get a BSAST, and then circle back around for a BSBA in Ops Management, as long as I only need to pay for one residency waiver. I attached my degree plan (two tabs). I will post my initial degree evaluations below separately. I am planning on getting the BSAST by the end of the year at the latest, and then aiming for the BSBA by May.

Does anyone know if Project Management would count as a OPM elective? (It does according to BSBA in Operations Management Degree Program) If not, does anyone know an inexpensive source (can be LL)?

I'm assuming that I can use the Network Technology TECEP as a Technical Studies course. Does anyone know if that's true?

I'm open to options for doing things faster/smarter/cheaper. I am an excellent test-taker, if that sways any advice.

My BSAST evaluation.

I am assuming I can move COS-261 from "Other Courses" into the Computer Concepts slots.

OTHER COURSES:

[dfrecore]

I think the main problem you're going to face here is that all of the Ops Management courses you have already won't be able to be used if you want the BSBA after the BSAST.

I think you might be better off at a different school for that. One like COSC if they will let you transfer in all those courses and use them separately. I know it sounds crazy, but I think giving up 9UL credits in your AOS is not worth it.

You might want to talk to someone at TESU and see if they can do something for you? Not even sure what to tell you at this point.

[Flelm]

I'm not sure why I wouldn't be able to use all those credits? I thought that I just need to get 24 new credits in AoS or Core (Award of Degrees), which they will be in the business core?

[dfrecore]

Ah, yes, I forgot that you still had all of your core classes to do. Sorry about that. Save 24cr of core to do after you get your BSAST!

[Flelm]

Absolutely. Any suggestions on specific parts of my plan, especially lower-cost ways to achieve it?

[swalke321]

Saylor has Business Statistics which TESU says will transfer as OPM-351, may work as OPM elective.

Open Course Option

[dfrecore]

Since the BSBA is the cheapest possible degree, there are multiple low-cost ways to get the required courses. Between SL, Saylor, ALEKS, TECEP, Study.com, Shmoop, etc., you can probably do the 24cr for less than $2400.

[Flelm]

If I pay a residency waiver and graduate with a BSAST, would I need to pay another residency waiver if I then re-applied to graduate with a BSBA?

Currently the residency waiver fee is valid for one year from the date of payment. Theoretically it is possible to only pay it once, provided that all of the requirements have been completed for both degree programs within a year of payment, but please note that if you are awarded the BSAST degree and you continue to pursue the BSBA degree, the BSBA degree will be considered a second degree and will be subject to the second degree policy.

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.
