Need help with TESC plan

[sweettea]

These are the credits that I have been awarded from state schools, which previously were community colleges. I am looking at the BSBA GM through TESC. I was hoping that someone could possibly help me see which tests that I can take to satisfy the requirements. I do understand that I now have to take the Capstone class. I really appreciate any help that can be given. Ps. I have been awarded an AA degree.

I'm hoping those are all 3 credit courses, if they aren't then it will be more complicated.

With the gaps listed below you should look at these items to start and then you have a ton of choices to fill in parts of the management area of study:
-Precalc and Stats can be taken as exams or you can try out aleks.com (search this site for more info on ALEKS, an ACE credit source which TESC will accept)
-Look at the other posts for this degree to learn how to fill the business core courses
-Check out the Management Information Systems DSST, Human Resource Management DSST, Organizational Behavior DSST, and others to fill in the area of study requirements
-By my count you are 45 credits away.

Here is a rough placement of some credits noting that some credits may fit in more than one place...

For the BSBA, you can satisfy the capstone with the Strategic Management TECEP. Unless things have changed, you can also transfer in a strategic management or business policy course. The capstone changes were for the Bachelor of Arts programs.

Wow! That is alot of credits that I still need to get that degree. I am very surprised and disappointed. I really appreciate all of the time and help that both of you have given me.

You have a strange mix of credits for having a two year degree, you not only have a nice set of business credits but also an unusual number of general ed credits. Is your two year degree in business or something else? That might explain why you have so many of what will become extra credits on a business degree. If you were to do a liberal studies degree or something else you might find more credits would apply. You would only need 24 more credits if you do a Liberal Studies BA (depending on how things are evaluated and if you appeal them).

You would need: 3 credits in Humanities, 3 credit capstone course, 18 credits in general education areas (including 15 credits which are upper level).

How's that? You get to use every credit you've earned!

Here is what a Liberal Studies BA would look like:

English Comp
ENC1101 Composition I
ENC1102 Composition II

Humanities
SPC2608 Oral Communication/Speech
SPN1120 Spanish I & Lab
SPN1121 Spanish II & Lab
*NEED another humanities course

33 credits of general ed credits including capstone course (18 must be Upper Level including 3 cr capstone)
Capstone Course - NEEDED

EME2040 Intro Education Technology (may need to be appealed in order to count as a CIS course)
BSC2085 Human Anatomy and Physiology I & Lab (should be BIO-211 at TESC)
HUN1201 Human Nutrition (if you can get them to see it as a BIO course instead of NUT, try coding as BIO-208)
NEED 18 more credits of general ed electives (15 will most likely need to be Upper Level)

Degree Plan at BA in Liberal Studies Degree at Thomas Edison State College

[sweettea]

CooperAlex2004: My credits are all over the place I had originally started going for a MBA, but decided to go for a healthcare career instead. I had to change again, after working for many of those credit, as I hurt my lower back and can no longer lift much weight. So, back to business, lol.

[OE800_85]

I gotta say you're not so far off from a BSBA, may as well get it instead of the Liberal Studies. The majority of those credits can be completed by testing, if not all of them.
(please, guys, double check if I'm right on these)

Managerial Business Communication - Straighterline Business Communication
Principles of Finance - DSST Finance
Business Law - DSST Business Law
Business in Society/International Management - Straighterline Business Ethics (coming soon, would this transfer?), or DSST Business Ethics and Society
Business Policy - TECEP Business Policy
Intro to Computers - DSST Intro to Computing
Intro to Marketing - CLEP Marketing
Principles of Financial Accounting - Straighterline Accounting I, or DSST Principles of Financial Accounting
Principles of Management - CLEP Principles of Management
Principles of Managerial Accounting - Straighterline Accounting II

+ 6 business electives: you could pick and choose from some CLEP/DSST/Straighterline/TECEP business courses

12 exams/SL courses (which are quite quick), I'd say 9 of them easy, 2 requiring hard study (finance/business law), and the 1 capstone exam (which requires some essays and long form writing)

[sweettea]

Im confused about needing some of these credits, such as Business Law, Principals of Management, and both Accounting credits. I have these classes, so why do I need to test out of them? Thank you!!
