Help to finding A degree/plan.

Doesn't Org behavior count as UL for a BALS?

I'm not quite sure what degree atm, but I made it so far that I haven't wasted any credits and that every credit fits into any degree.. But I think the BSBA is the most useful one for sure or communication.

Yes, Org Behavior counts for both the BALS and BSBA.  I mostly was talking about the BSPS.  But you could always get the BSBA with an undergrad cert in Communications if you wanted.

Is there somewhere where I can see which other SL Business courses goes into the Core?

And for the BSBA I NEED College Algebra?

Also macroeconomics, microeconomics, financial accounting, and managerial accounting. They can be a little hard if someone doesn't like math. Although they aren't exactly math.

You mean I can use any of these instead of College Algebra?

For the BSBA you need College Algebra (or higher), plus the statistics that you're showing already completed through SL. Those are the math requirements for the BSBA degree at TESU.

Okay thanks, guess i'll go with pre-calcus then.

If you have access to OSS you can run a "what if" report (can't remember what it's called) but it shows where all your credits fall if you were to select a different major. Of course this only works if everything is transferred in already or you at least know what will transfer over. It was helpful for me to see the progress as I went along.

Yeah.

Anyway, I signed up for Business Communication.

Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting or Personal Finance from SL. I'm considering atleast 2 of these, but would it be a waste?

I just double checked how TESU words the math requirement; and I'd have to recommend you stick with College Algebra vs going up to the  precalculus; unless you get it pre-approved. Here is how they word it, and they want what they want.

"College Algebra or Quantitative Business Analysis within Intellectual and Practical Skills section of General Education requirements."

That's right, stick with what's in the spreadsheet templates as the last 4-5 questions you have asked are answered. The BALS/BSBA, you can tweak it so that the first 90 credits are exactly identical. The only difference is the final 30 which is the Area Of Study. I highly recommend taking College Algebra and if you want to take the Pre-calculus, that'll work in the General Education section (also shows in the sample spreadsheet template).

If you want to take the Accounting courses, those can be dumped into your BALS FREE ELECTIVES, so take them! Just a reminder, you only can take 30 courses from StraighterLine in total for 90 credits, anything more will not transfer over. That is why the sample template was made with the majority of StraighterLine and Study.com courses. Review the Beginner Guide and the Spreadsheet bro.

Yeah, I've reviewed the spreadsheet and beginner guide multiple times. 

I've already completed Business Stats. Can I ask why is it you highly recommend taking the College Algebra? Math isn't my strongest side, so it's hard with a 50% final exam. That's why I wanted to do Pre-calculus since it weights less in the final exam.

My math isn't strong either, for Stats, I had 65% on Intro to Stats at SL, I took Business Stats and got an 85%. I took College Algebra and Pre-Calculus at ALEKS, while taking both courses, College Algebra was "easier" for me than Pre-Calc. It depends on the student, but if I would take the course, I would take the easier one even though the final would be a higher percentage.

Let's do a quick calculation, I think it'll be about the same either course you take. So pretend I am working with my College Algebra and I'm doing 80%, up to the final. I'll have 40/100 going into the final. I'll need a 30/100 to pass the course. In order to get 70+ to get credit, you will need to have 60% or higher for the final.

For Precalc, I might be doing 75% up to the final. I'll have 52.5 going into the final. I'll need a 17.5 for the final to pass, that equates to about 58% on the final. Because Precalc is a bit harder for me, I would have a harder time getting that 58% to pass, but it would be easier to get a 60 to pass the College Algebra.

Too bad you missed the ALEKS boat, you may want to take a stab at the Shmoop offerings if math is really an issue for you. For me, I took everything I needed but STATS as I couldn't get pass that dreaded 70%. If Shmoop offered those courses then, I would have tried taking it there. Flip a coin, choose which one you want... just work hard on getting at least a 70%.
