Please review my Plan BSBA in CIS

[ainokami]

Hello,
Been lurking in the forum this weekend. And I am thinking of getting a Bachelors at either Excelsior or TESU. I created this plan for TESU. I think I have 67 credits out of the 120 needed. And I think I can complete what I am missing with self study in 12 months. 

What do you recomend? Shall I wait until I complete all possible self-study credits before I contact the College/University?
I am an international student, so no scholarships or grants for me. Wondering if the TESU with 

Here is the TESU Plan I created. Please let me know if you see any problems or issues.

Issues:

1) Intro to Politics isn't considered Diversity, it has to be Intro to Comparative Politics; Sociology or Anthropology will also work.

2) Geology is on there twice - delete one.

3) Saylor's Strategic Info Tech is a duplicate of Study.com's MIS (both come in as CIS-301). So you need to switch out one of those

4) Just in terms of ease of use, you should use a column for credits completed, and a separate column for credits to take, so that you have a simple addition formula at the bottom. Yours is so confusing.

5) Saylor's Financial Accounting course will expire on 5/31, so if you don't take it before then, don't bother.

6) for International Mgmt, take BUS 108 International Business instead of BUS 308 (why take the harder course if you don't have to?)

7) For Prin of Finance, I would take a LL Study.com course instead (again, why make it hard if it doesn't have to be). Plus it's cheaper than UExcel.

8) The TECEP is no longer an option for the Business Capstone. You have to take the course.

9) If you take Study.com courses, you should sign up with the affiliate membership at TESU, which grants a waiver for the cornerstone.

10) OnlineDegree.com is coming soon, it's free, and you can take Intro to Marketing, Intro to Accounting, Intro to Microeconomics, Cybersecurity, and Intro to Programming all for free. That's better than Saylor any day (considering Saylor's issues with the material they have and course setup, which I think sucks). Once you do a course on Sophia, Study.com, SL, etc., Saylor is quite painful to slog through.

TESU has no per-term fees, and enrolling now locks you into a catalog year. EC has per-term fees, so you should always wait until you're ready to take the capstone before enrolling (although you should apply at both now).
