Need help with degree plan for BSBA General Management TESU.

[odie313]

I was tossing the idea of applying to TESU for a BSBA in General Management, but I am not sure if I have enough credits to apply now or wait.

I would also like to know, when would I have to pay for the cornerstone.

Is it worth it to still take the Ethics course by the Institutes, if it applies to PHI-384 instead of PHI 379.

Can I take the Strategic Management (Capstone) whenever, or do i need to wait till I get closer to graduation.


Thanks to all in advance.

There is no hard and fast rule on when you can/should apply to TESU. You can do it whenever you want. The main thing you want to make sure of is that you want to see what they will evaluate your courses as, so that you don't waste time duplicating courses.

You pay for the cornerstone when you register for it.

You should take the Ethics course, since no matter which course number it is, you need an Ethics course. The change in course numbers only applies to people who have already taken a Business Ethics course and don't want to duplicate it. You don't have that problem.

You can take Strategic Management when you want. And you can take it as a course ($1500) or as a TECEP exam (for $114).

For you, in the GE area, you still need to take:
English Comp II
The Info Lit Requirement - A&I Literature, World Religions
The Ethics Requirement - free Insurance Ethics
Statistics
The Cornerstone
Any GE Elective for 1 credit

Almost all of the business courses in the core

6 courses in the Area of Study, 4 must be UL

Your free electives are done, so don't take any more courses that won't fit into the other areas

Good luck!

Would I need to take the cornerstone when I apply for admissions; or is there a time frame I need to complete it in. Also how is the cornerstone taken.

The answers are at your fingertips. I've linked the info to their site.
There's no set date to take the cornerstone, it's a required course that can be done anytime.

I read somewhere on here that one of the TEEX courses may be categorized by TESU as a GE elective credit; has anyone confirmed this? If so, which one?

I inquired with TESU about the TEEX courses yesterday. Here is the response:

The Cyber Security for the Business Professional could transfers as 2 credits for CIS-344 Computer Security. This can apply to the General Education Electives

Cyber Security for the IT Professional can transfer as 2 credits for CAP-385 Network Security and Cyber Security for Everyone can transfer as 2 credits for CAP-295 Intro to Basic Security. These courses can only apply to Free Electives.
