Some guideance and questions

[Ideas]

I believe you could also take ALEKS Trigonometry for an elective credit.

Hello all,

I have been away due to illness and could not do any classes I have been planning to take and finish earlier.
I should be good to go now and wondering if there are any classes that I must take before December 31st? Is there anything expiring in my degree plan for BSBA GM that I would not able to do next year through straighterline or study.com and transfer to TESU.


Attached is my degree plan. I think I put everything in correct spots. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you all for the help as always.

Any courses that might possibly be downgraded by TESU will not affect your plan.

The only things that stand out to me is:
1) you don't have enough credits in the Science area, you are going to need to take at least 2cr more there to fulfill that area
2) the Business in Society TECEP can be replaced by BUS120: Int'l Business through Study.com if you would like
3) All of the courses listed are available through Study.com, if you don't end up enjoying taking SL courses, Saylor courses, or CLEP's (although I would still take the English Comp CLEP to get the 6cr if you think you can pass).
4) There are some additional courses you can take in the business area if you want to replace anything there (Study.com has a BUNCH more courses than when you first created your spreadsheet).

Otherwise it looks good.

First off, it's good to see you're healthy again. Hope you're doing great throughout the X-mas holidays and for the New Year.
Just wanting to make sure, the "Green" spots should be the ones already completed right? I'm asking because ALEKS no longer is ACE recommended for credit and the Strategic Management TECEP is no longer available, it's a class you have to take.

Secondly, I see you have some Saylor courses (IMO, they're harder to pass), the majority of them are available with StraighterLine and Study.com, I would only recommend them if you "know the subject well, really need it cheap, or have the time to study for it", otherwise, stick with Study.com or SL.

My Recommendations: Don't take the TECEP for Business In Society, take the Study.com Bus 120: International Business
BTW, is accounting what you're into? If so, keep it as is. If not, you can substitute the accounting courses from Study.com, take something that's UL, it doesn't have to be in accounting, you need at least one course in 3 areas - Accounting, Finance, Management or Marketing. However, you need to have 18 credits total for the GM AOS, again, at least 1 course from 3 of those 4.

I was little worried that some of UL courses would be going away after dec 31st. Glad to hear I did not miss that train.

Green cells are what I have completed before getting sick. I finished ALEKS while they were still ACE recommended for credit and Strategic management tecep last month it was available.

If at all possible I would like to stick with straigherline over study.com or saylor but did not want to just start replacing courses left and right and find myself having to retake any due to my mistake.

Awesome, then that settles things further. Here are my updated recommendations for you, I prefer SL as well (the biggest draw is passing the course before the final), but Study.com has very good points too for providing courses not found elsewhere for cheap.

Take the following SL courses over Saylor in the Professional Business Requirements
1) Principles of Management
2) Macroeconomics
3) Microeconomics
4) Business Communications

In your Area Of Study, skip the two Study.com Accounting courses for something that may benefit you more. Review their syllabus before deciding which is better for you, there are many other options than Accounting from Study.com
1) Take Study.com Project Management and Management Info Systems (just got ACE recommendation this week)
OR 2) Take Saylor Corporate Communications (it builds on SL Business Comm and gives a different UL credit) and MIS OR their Business Statistics (it's a different UL business course, not math/stats course)
OR 3) Choose any one of the above, and do Straighterline Organizational Behavior - just make sure you "hit 3 of the 4".

The only thing here is that you need to make sure that you take at least 1 accounting and 1 marketing course (that you've already planned into the degree).  The courses bjcheung77 recommended are all MAN courses, you don't want to overdo it with those.

Am I going after correct course that will fit into my degree plan or I need to find different course on study.com ? I was under impression i need FIN-301 for  Professional business requirements portion of BSBA GM. 

Thank you

There is no rule that the core courses have to be a certain course number (meaning UL).  The study.com course is perfectly fine for the degree (lots of people have transferred it in).
