No degree to MBA-HR in 20 months - Nodaclu's Progress Thread

[dfrecore]

Thanks RANSOMSOUL!

You make a good point w/r/t the credit issue. It's the one area I'll need to research to see how close to equal it comes out. I have my unofficial transcripts in to NAU already. We'll see what they come back with.

At this point, by switching to a BSBA at TESU:

• my usable credits will go down from 88 to 60
  
• my time to complete the degree will go up from 6 months to 12 (at least), and
  
• my cost will go up from $4K to ~$6K.
  

So my plan is to take those three parameters, and see how NAU, WGU, and possibly Patten, stack up.

My biggest concern is the credits. If any of the CBE schools accept at least 54 of my 88 credits, then the time and cost factors between them and TESU will be close enough for me to call it equal (for these purposes, I'm considering anything within 10% or so to be roughly equal).

I definitely have a subjective preference right now, but I won't blindly go in that direction if they aren't competitive. WGU's onslaught of banner ads all over the web rubs me the wrong way, Patten's size/reputation concerns me, and I've mentioned my hesitation with TESU. But if one of them is clearly the best choice at the end of this, then that's what I'll do.

However, if they're all close to equal, then it'll probably be NAU. 

I agree that they all have their pros and cons.  But like Ransomsoul said, before you're enrolled and/or are taking courses at a school, there's never a guarantee of what will transfer in.  All schools have this issue.

The good thing about Study.com - you aren't locked into a course.  So, switch to something else, and even continue with the Comm course you're doing.  Then, when your month is closer to an end, if the issue still hasn't been resolved, you've lost nothing with the Comm course, and don't need to take the final.  Just do the other course you've been doing (the one I told you to switch to).  Next month, if you're still on Study.com, you can either take the final if the issue is fixed, or work on 2 other courses.
