I think that is all I have. As always, edit away if you know about other classes or different transcriptions. And thanks, sanantone, for catching that!

Thanks a ton. This is a gold mine. Cheers!

I didn't realize this, but you could actually complete all the Business core, specialty, and elective requirements using entirely Penn Foster classes. Of course, there are lots of other ways to fulfill these requirements, but here's a list for those who would like a step-by-step plan.

II. Professional Business Requirements

A. Business Core

1. Principles of Finance (TESC FIN-301) – PF Financial Management
2. Business Law (TESC LAW-201) - PF Business Law I

4. Strategic Management (TESC BUS-421) – PF Strategic Business Management
5. Computer Concepts & Applications/Intro to Computers/CIS (TESC CMP-111) – PF Introduction to Programming
6. Introduction to Marketing - PF Marketing (TESC MAR-301)

Are pretty much all the courses with PF around $225 each? $75/credit is a bargain if you like working at your own pace and hate standardized testing like I do. I think this is my plan just for BSBA CIS.

That was a lot of work on your park KayV. Thank you very much.

I think I've become an edu-hobbyist.

You're just obsessive-compulsive like a third of the people here. I was just thinking about doing this, but you beat me to it. You saved me a lot of time to go obsess over something else.

Thanks for sharing your list. I think Introduction to Programming is CMP-111. I do know that it's counted toward the programming requirement for the BSBA in CIS program. COS-101 Intro to Computing is not.

Does the Intro to Programming with PF transfer as CMP-111 with 2 or 3 credits? According to ACE website it states recommended for 2 cr. Any other programmin options for 3 credits? ON PF website they offer Programming in Java but I don't even see it on the ACE website?????

Intro to Programming is 3 credits. Intro to Computer Programming is 2 credits.

Hmmm is I can't find Intro to Programming on ACE or PF.
