For HR, TESU is a good option. Assuming your list of classes are all from another RA school, you've met TESU's RA requirements. You'd just need to decide whether to do a single flat-rate 16-credit term to save money, or if it makes more sense for you to pay the residency waiver fee and be done with everything. Because you're a parent working full time, you'll probably just want to pay the fee and only take the capstone and cornerstone from TESU.

I'd suggest making a degree plan spreadsheet for yourself using the following links, so you can see what you need and make a budget for yourself:

@nickyberit, are you still an active applicant at TESU? Did you get a new evaluation from them for your BSBA? I just cleaned up your previous threads and noticed you wanted a BA Psych previously and had an evaluation completed. If you are still active at TESU, you should get an evaluation from them and see what's remaining...

At TESU, HR is a business degree. You have the GE completed except for College Algebra. You have part of the Business Core done. And Free Electives is full. So you'd need:
CSM Learn course
College Algebra (Sophia)
Financial Acctg (Sophia)
Managerial Acctg (SDC)
Business Law (Sophia)
Marketing (SDC)
Finance (take SDC's FIN101: Prin of Finance, it's now UL)
Int'l Business (SDC)
Business 106: Human Resource Management (SDC)
Business 107: Organizational Behavior (SDC)
Business 323: Organizational Theory (SDC UL)
Business 306: Strategic Human Resources Management (SDC UL)
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior (SDC UL)

and then 1 add'l UL course from SDC that will work in the AoS:
Business 304: Leading Organizational Change
Business 311: Project Management
Business 319: Negotiations & Conflict Management
Business 304: Leading Organizational Change

[LevelUP]

Finance (take SDC's FIN101: Prin of Finance, it's now UL)

Holy crap, they switched around a lot of stuff.

Finance 305: Risk Management is now 3 credits instead of 2. (ACE evaluation also now 3)

Oh, and Risk Management is misspelled as FIN-382 Rick Management

I'm putting ALL the responsibility on you Dfrecore to get this fixed ASAP

H! Yes! I am able to access the academic evaluation tool on their site and it tells me what is left to take. Im very confused though because there is a BSBA in HR and then there is a BA in Liberal Arts/HR and also a BA in Liberal Studies. Im trying to decide between the Liberal Studies and one of the HR degrees. I really just need the fastest Bachelors possible and the courses to not be a heavy lift. Could I DM you and you could help me sort out what to take where/what would be fastest? I would really appreciate the help!

wow thats alot more than the BA Liberal Studies! What is SDC?? Do you have recommendations for where I could take 5 UL classes, capstone and Information Literacy other than TESU? Im second guessing the HR degree if its going to be that many courses and thinking maybe I should just go with the BA Liberal Studies

[bjcheung77]

@nickyberit, are you still really busy as a single parent? If so, there I'm somewhat hesitant in recommending UMPI BLS with a minor, you have over 70+ RA credits and some ACE credits already. If you go the UMPI option, it's the cheapest, easiest, fastest BUT you need to put in the effort/time into it. They're $1500/session, if you finish in two sessions, it's $3K, another session would be $4.5K and that is if you have the energy, time to get it done.

The other option is switching to Excelsior for their BLSA, it'll be about $4K, both Excelsior and UMPI options will allow you to throw 60 credits into the electives. If you are going TESU BALS no concentration, it'll take only 30 electives. I would create an action plan to get the max credits then apply, get an evaluation from both Excelsior and UMPI as their applications are free. It really depends on your current commitments...

Are you already working in HR?  If you are you may be better of with any bachelor, signing up with SHRM (student level) and then take the SHRM-CP later this year (again available at a student rate).

All the UL courses that dfrecore mentioned would be taken through Study.com (SDC), not at TESU. The only courses you'd take at TESU are the Cornerstone and Capstone. In your first post you said what you had completed, but didn't say where those credits came from - did you take them at TESU, another RA school (CC?) or alternative provider?  We are assuming here that you have your required RA credits accounted for in the completed list.

[dfrecore]

The BALS/HR degree has 2 required courses that cannot be done inexpensively via alt-credit, so you'd have to take them at TESU. For a single mom without a lot of time (which would be hard to get a degree anyway with those parameters), you'd have to do a single 16cr term, and take the cornerstone, capstone and 2 UL HR courses all at the same time. I think that's a very heavy load and would not recommend it.

So your choices, if you want to get an HR degree, are to do the business degree as I showed you in post #4, using Sophia and Study.com (SDC) to get all of your remaining courses (14 of them); or to get the BALS/HR degree using Sophia and SDC to get most of your courses, and then an extra 2 at TESU (total of 9 courses).

I think that even though it's more courses, that ultimately the business degree is the easier option for your particular circumstances.

@nickyberit, Again, I would check your energy, money, time and see which option is better for you. As an example I mentioned earlier, you have UMPI in two or three sessions at $1500 each. So, that would mean $4500 for 3 sessions and it'll take say 7-8 week each session. For TESU, if you're taking two terms, it's equal time of say 24 weeks, but the cost is different and the amount of work varies for both. That is where you need to find which degree will get you to the goal faster...
