I also can't imagine spending the time and money to take 16cr at TESU, when you already have all of your AOS completed. It would feel...lame to take those LL GE courses, when you can just easily test out of them. Just my 2c, I maybe have more money than time, so that would be what I would do. Okay just a couple questions:
1) What would the process be for me to notify TESU that I would like a concentration in finance? I previously applied with a concentration in management.
2) To major in finance would all of my coursework be the same? One finance class plus whatever is missing from my eval? In your opinion would it change in anyway?

1) I don't know, I'd call.
2) If you're just switching the AOS, everything else is the same (GE, Core, Free Electives). If you're not adding Finance, but just switching it, you already have 6 courses that will work, so you don't lose anything.

In my experience Saylor tests are difficult and more than one answer could be right from my experience. Dssts are more expensive but (again solely from my experience) I found them not too difficult.

You can call or email. I changed my area of study twice - called once, emailed once, neither was a problem.

CLEP has Prin of Marketing, Computer Applications, American Gov't, College Algebra. All free through Modern States. I'm going to do finance at TESU. I talked to them today all I have to do is send them a email. As far as the coursework goes for UL AOS classes all I have to do is that prin of finance right? The rest is all LL (I've already done several of them).

Hey I know its been awhile since this post but the extra finance class you mentioned... are you referring to principles of finance? or an additional finance class to that? According to my eval as it stands for GM I need to take principles. Im just trying to clarify because I'm ripping through these classes on study.com (4 completed in 8 days!) Thanks!

So, if you're switching to BSBA/FIN (and not doing the Gen Mgmt at all), then all you need is FIN 101: Prin of Finance to meet the business core requirement.

SDC has a 5 exam limit per month. Right I know that. After I knock out the finance class I have american gov, oral communication, business comm, international business and algebra to complete. Any ideas on the next best site(s) to take these to get them done quickly? I'd like to be done by the second week in January. Thanks!
