vcv Wrote:Thank you everyone for your advice. After reading replies and reading other info, I will prob not go with APU. With wanting/needing to study on my own at my own pace, APU does not seem to be the place. COCS looks appealing, as does TESU (I am leaning towards COCS). However not decided. One thing is for sure, I am starting a plan to get credits. I am starting with math and getting it out of the way. I signed up for ALEKS tonight and started the Beginners Algebra (the lowest level ACE they have). So far I am enjoying it. I spend a couple of hours on it tonight. It is amazing what I have forgotten in math over the many years, however just as amazing how fast I am picking it back up (so far). I love the fact ALEKS forces you to learn. I am hoping to take this one beginners algebra and then go straight info Business Statistics. I am very good with stats, percentages and data in general. We will see...
Again... Thank you MUCH to all the input. It really helped me.

Thank you High-Order1... Very encouraging. And that is exactly what I have decided to do, not worry too much about the school right now. I am focusing on getting my math knocked out right now (my worse fear, and what has held me back for years). So far I am loving ALEKS. I am learning a lot (learning what I have forgotten mainly). I have heard people talk negative about ALEKS, but I can say it is my type of learning (interactive). But then again I am only on Beginning Algebra.

I am looking at some type of Business Degree. I was looking at Business Administration at APU. However I have not yet looked through the options at any of the Big-3 yet. I was also thinking of something focused on International. I have a fascination with learning the histories of other countries, their governments and how they run. APU had a "International Relations" major, however not really sure what I could do with it. Not really wanting to work overseas. A business degree of some type will prob be my route.

If you want a BSBA at one of the Big 3, then you will need more math. Start with Beginning Algebra, go to Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, and then Intro to Stats. TESU and COSC require College Algebra and Stats, and EC requires Precalc and Stats. So you have a ways to go with any of those schools.
If you wanted to opt for a school like WGU, their BSBA requires College Algebra & Stats, plus a Quantitative Analysis course as well.
