I started working on my BSBA with TESC around this time last year. I applied, signed up for a TECEP and enrolled in the per credit plan and ended up transferring in a few credits (aviation related) before I was overwhelmed with work and ended up temporarily abandoning the whole thing due to a severe lack of time. I never gave up on the plan and intended to keep my enrollment current but now due to a variety of factors I'm back in the game again.
At this point my priorities have shifted a bit and I would really, really, really like to complete my AS degree before my BS degree by more or less following the
open course plan. I have also been reading about the changes to the BSBA requirements and it seems I have something of an advantage with the "old" requirements I'm currently enrolled in.
My question - if I do elect to pursue an AS degree first am I going to lose my current program? Second, does it really matter since I really don't have that many credits to begin with?
Thanks all.

that's a good question. Normally, the answer would be an easy "no" you can do both at the same time (I did) but with one being under the old catalog and one being under the new catalog, you're best bet is to ask your advisor. I'd like to hear what you find out.

Don't follow the open course plan unless you want to spend time writing tedious portfolios. You can easily test out of the degree. If you want to save money by doing the Per Credit Tuition Plan, all you have to do is take four TECEPs.

Hadn't made up my mind one way or the other. Is portfolio assessment really that bad? I couldn't find much in the way of accounts from other students or maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
