Inkleind's TESU BSBA GM Plan & Updates

[inkleind]

I'm at 60 credits!! Woot Woot!
Halfway there! 

Going to try to get the Pierpont AAS, just emailed them asking about a waiver for the bm credits.

Halfway there! 
I'm going to dive in pretty hardcore this month. Can I get some feedback on my best options to finish the UL classes? I want to knock those out first since everything seems to be in flux around it. 

After those then I'll burn through a bunch of SL as quick as I can! I want to be done by the fall, I feel like that is totally doable.

Were you able to get the Pierpont AAS waiver? It was my understanding that they don't give waivers for the B&M credits.

[inkleind]

Your understanding is correct! I tried and had a nice conversation with them but they do not give waivers for the B&M credits.

So a few days after this last post, on 4-18-19, I was in a motorcycle wreck that took me out pretty hard. Concussion, brain injury, ankle reconstruction, job loss. 

Now, a few months later, I am mostly healed up and instead of job hunting I'm going to dive in and finish this thing this fall. 
Currently working on Principles of Marketing at modernstates.

I could really use help finishing this plan and identifying which courses make the most sense to take where for speed/cost. 

Does anyone have some time to help me out?

Basically, I just looked at the file... and previous thread, you should go for the Study.com for AOS and StraighterLine or CLEP/MS for the rest.  If you need an example of the remaining courses you need, you can review my spreadsheets in my signature (post #28/31).  Hmm, I would recommend you to review this thread:  https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...tty-please

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery.  I'd recommend SL's Managerial Accounting for the UL Accounting which as you state comes into TESU as UL Cost Accounting (I took it 'by accident' thinking it would come through as managerial; I was able to use it as UL AOS so it was a fortunate accident - and it's an open book final as a bonus); that would round out your three areas required (you already have the Marketing and Management) then do the the rest of the AOS with Management courses (there are far more UL options for that area; especially through Study.com - I'd recommend Study.com's Project Management for one of UL credit courses simply because the knowledge is so practical). 

I would recommend SL for as many of those Gen Eds (ie: Western Civilization I ) they have quite a few open book options (https://www.straighterline.com/how-it-wo...ng-details). I'd strongly avoid SL for the micro/macro and recommend Study.com for both. Other than the SL Managerial Account (UL AOS Cost Accounting at TESU), and SL's open book Gen Eds options, I'd recommend Study.com for the rest of the Business Core and AOS.

Did the Technical Communications cover your Oral Communication requirement? If not Study.com has a course that is extremely quick and easy that will cover it (no speech required); I believe it is the 'Presentation Skills in the Workplace' (someone else here can confirm) - actually, it should also work as a Gen Ed is you're TECEP did cover the oral communication requirement.

[inkleind]

It did over the oral communication requirement, which is cool.

Thanks for the recommendations, diving in to all of it now.

JUST PASSED 100 CREDITS! 102 to be exact. I'm so, so grateful for Study.com and Sophia and ModernStates. Those three have been so huge in keeping my costs down.
I could have gotten here faster but certainly not cheaper.

Next steps are to send in my ACE transcript to TESU with the Sophia courses, hope they fill in all the blanks I assumed they would, and then finish my last 7 courses. (Or 6 + 1?)

Here's the current spreadsheet.

I registered for the May TECEP for Public Relations Thought & Practice so that's the next one to finish.

Congrats! 100 credits is a good amount!
