I Have 124 Credits - Need Help Figuring out the Most Efficient Path for a Degree

[jacobvanhelden]

@jacobvanhelden, I skimmed through your previous threads (all of them), you seem to be stuck at the same place... My suggestion is to continue onward with the credits and apply to the UMPI BABA or the TESU BSBA since the bulk of the gen eds, business core, electives are complete.  You need an evaluation completed by both institutions and you then have to decide, taking alternative courses elsewhere for max transfer or doing the competency based option is for you.  Please fill in the addendum and template here to give us a better overall overview of your scenario: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Thank you for your response.  I did put the pursuit of my degree on hold to attend this music production school, as it was something that I had been wanting to do for many years. My understanding is that TESU would not accept any of those credits, as it is nationally accredited.  Do you have any recommendations on other schools to investigate in order to leverage all of my current credits?  

As for getting an evaluation - would I need to apply and get accepted to the particular schools in order to have that done?  

Regarding filling out the template - is there anything important that I missed with this post?  I had that post opened for reference as I was writing this one. 

Thank you for your help!

Okay, so NASM appears to be an NA accreditor. So TESU is unlikely to accept them, but it depends on the school and if it had any other accreditation. If any of these are UL, your easiest option may be an Excelsior BS in Liberal Studies.

Otherwise, forget the Music credits and get a degree in something else from either UMPI or TESU. UMPI will be fastest/easiest/cheapest, so long as you're okay with writing academic papers.

Excelsior can be a bit... iffy if one doesn't already have a lot of UL credit.

TESU is a bit in between these days. If the music credits are actually RA, TESU wouldn't be the worst choice.

When you say "unlikely" - are there any instances in which TESU has accepted NA credits? Additionally, is there any easy way to determine which courses would be UL? I don't believe any of the Sophia courses that I have taken would have been UL.  However, 26 of the NA credits have a 300-400 class code, so I am assuming that those would have been considered upper level courses, correct? If that is the case, do you still think Excelsior would be the best option for that?  Is there any way that I could determine which credits would transfer over without having to apply and be accepted?
