My Charter Oak Evaluation Help

[Gusgus]

Mostly community college and some Azusa Pacific University Online Courses.

This is how I recommend you do your concentration. Completing these exams will fulfill your liberal arts requirements, and your Gen Ed Requirements if you waiver your speech requirement. You will have 21 upper level courses at this point. You need 36 total, so you can knock out whatever upper level exams you like on the Master List.

Individualized Studies, Business and Economics
Business Courses:
DSST business ethics and society (3/Upper Level) (fulfills ethics requirement)
DSST Business Law II ( 3 Credits/Upper Level)
TECEP Business in Society (3 Credits/Upper Level)
Human Relations in Business (3 Credits/Lower Level) -Transferred
Business Law (3 Credits/Lower Level) –Transferred
Financial Accounting (3 Credits/Lower Level) –Transferred

Economics:
TECEP Financial Institutions and Markets (3 Credits/Upper Level)
TECEP Money and Banking (3 Credits/Upper Level)
COSC Global Economics (3 Credits/Upper Level) –COSC Course, can be taken concurrently with capstone. Also can fulfill global understanding requirement
Microeconomics (3 Credits/Lower Level) –Transferred
Macroeconomics (3 Credits/Lower Level –Transferred

COSC Capstone (3 Credits/Upper Level)

So doing the above listed courses I would be finished?

[Gusgus]

So with those tests I would be done?

[publius2k4]

This would finish you out for a concentration. But you would still need more upper level electives.

[Gusgus]

What would be the best route to finish using straighterline

[publius2k4]

That's a horse of another color. I haven't taken any straighterline courses.

[rebel100]

Straighterline is of minimal use in your situation. You need Upper Level credit, that's 300-400 level credit. Straighterline, to the best of my knowledge, has no courses that transfer to COSC as UL....so I would pretty much rule them out.

You need two courses, 6 credits to fill your Gen-Eds (these are lower level). You need a "Global Understanding" and a Speech course. I would try to skip Speech as detailed above, why bother with the DSST if you don't have to? You also need a global understanding course. Refer to the COSC Master List found here: http://www.charteroak.edu/Current/Academ...r-list.pdf You will see that in addition to the DSST Speech (if you need it), you can take any of the following for global: DSST Human Cultural Geography (this is my recommendation considering your anthropology background...this should be an easy pass for you with minimal study). You could also opt for Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union DSST...this one satisfies global understanding and would count as an UL elective (I love a twofer). History of Vietnam War, Intro to the Middle East, Intro to world religions, Environment and Humanity, are all DSST and satisfy global but are only LL.

I see 110 credits but you have nothing at the UL, Your gonna need 30 UL credits to graduate. I would recommend a dual concentration Organizational Leadership (primary) and Psycology (secondary). You will then need UL credit divided as follows:

18 UL Organizational Leadership (primary) (note you can do this as you should have the 36 credits overall LL and UL to pull it off with all your existing credits plus these 18 UL).
3 UL credits will come from the Capstone, so you only need 15 more, 5 classes, for this side of the concentration. Consider:
3 Organizational Behavior ECE
3 operations Management TECEP
3 Strategic Management TECEP
3 Business Law 2 DSST
3 Business Ethics in Society DSST
Or substitute a course from CSU-Pueblo or University of Idaho, BYU, etc... for any of the above except, of course, the capstone.

Psychology (secondary concentration) 9 credits minimum. Take just about any UL Psych course for these or test out as follows:
3 Substance Abuse DSST
6 from any of the EC UL Psych exams on the master list above. There are four to choose from, You should only need 3.

That will leave you needing 3 UL credits...pick any UL 3 credit exam on the list, or choose any 3 credit UL course from any RA school to satisfy.

That should be about it...there may be a little convincing/tweaking to do, but this should pretty much work.

I think you can get all the testing done for around $1000, add in about 3K in tuition and fees at COSC and you should be done for around $4000.
