TESC Degree Plan, Lets DO THIS!

[Kaskadian]

My degree plan isn't much different from that of other members going for a BSBA in General Management. If you guys have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy to hear them, and if there are any questions, please ask.

My goal is to knock this out in the next 3 months. It's going to be a NIGHTMARE trying to do all of this so quickly, but it needs to be done. I have a knocgood job lined up in China and it all depends on me being able to knock this degree out quickly. I've found out that I have about 5 months total until it's time to leave the USA, and they said (close friend's company) that if I am able to knock out my degree before then, the job is mine.

I don't need everything listed on this plan, but I wanted to verify that it could indeed all be completed via CLEP/DSST or through some other form of examination.

1. General Education (60 hours)
A. English (6 hours)
*English Comp I (TECEP)
*English Comp II (TECEP)

B. Humanities (12 hours) I may already have all the necessary hours down, but I believe Tech writing is required.
*Technical Writing (CLEP/TECEP)
*Public Speaking (B&M)
*German 1 (B&M)
*Intro to art (B&M)
*Intro to music (B&M)

C. Social Sciences (12 hours)
Macroeconomics (CLEP)
Microeconomics (B&M)
Psychology (B&M)
Sociology (B&M)

D. Natural Sciences & Mathematics (9 hours)
*Chemistry (B&M)
*Precalculus (CLEP)
*Natural Science/Biology (CLEP)

E. General Electives (21 hours)
Will add this info later, I'm unsure which to choose.

II Professional Business Classes (54 hours)

A. Core (27 hours)
*Principles of Finance (DSST)
*Business Law (CLEP)
*Business in Society (TECEP)
*Business Policy (TECEP)
*CIS (B&M)
*Intro to marketing (CLEP)
*Accounting 1 (B&M/CLEP/DSST)
*Managerial Accounting (ECE/Straight Liner)
*Principles of Management (CLEP)

B. Area of Study (18 hours)
Unsure about this. I will edit my post to include this once I sort it out.

C. Business Electives (9 hours)
Business Mathematics - DSST
Principles of Supervision - DSST
Intro to Business - DSST

III. Free Electives - (6 hours)
Personal Finance - DSST
College Algebra - CLEP

Big thanks to everyone who's helped so far. I'd love suggestions for classes that would fill in the blanks. Also BIG thanks to Levi for posting this degree plan. I've made a few changes, but this is basically his/her plan.

I'm updating this as it goes. I've registered for my first DSST exam.

I assume you are attending Thomas Edison?

If so, for the free electives I'd go with something that is actually "free." Take the FEMA courses listed here: Emergency Management Institute - FEMA Independent Study Program - Search They are incredibly easy and will satisfy the free electives. All you have to do is fill out this form http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/downloads/tranrqst1.pdf after you finish the courses, and send it to TESC.

Yes, Thomas Edison.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check those links out and jump on them right away.

Just note that although you can complete your degree quickly, TESC is incredibly slow with admin, so it will take time from your last class to your degree is actually conferred. Take this into your time frame.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll be sure to become fully admitted a couple months in advance (to leaving). I have a few TECEP classes I'll need to take as well.

I'm curious about this myself. How long did it take for your degree to be conferred?

[HorseManiac]

Quick question....maybe I missed something, but is there any particular reason you are taking English through TECEP? I was just thinking that the CLEP might be cheaper since it's 6 credits in one. Just a thought.

[arleanicole]

Yes, Thomas Edison.

Sure, no problem. I see that a lot of your options are TECEPs/TESC classes...I originally had a lot of them in my plan as well, but I figured out how to get around most of them. I only have one actual class from TECEP (which some posters on here actually said I might have had an online free option for, too bad I didn't realize that before joining the class), and a couple TECEPs. If you want to take a look, my plan is here: http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post142129 You might find a few more ideas for alternate classes.

Here are the dates that you have to have all of your courses and tests done by, as well as the conferral dates. So, for example in my case, I am trying to be done by April 1st so that I can have my degrees conferred in June.
