TESU ASBA plus BSBA FREE?

[dfrecore]

Just wondering, but would there be a point in getting an ASBA and then a BSBA in General Management? It seems it would be redundant or am I missing something?

I personally don't think there is (if they're at the same time). I'm 1 class away from my ASBA and will not be applying to get that when I finish my course, just because I don't really see the point. I don't need the AA for any reason, so it's not worth it to me to get. Plus, I would rather not part with $2,000 before I was ready to graduate with my BSBA, that's way too much money to part with for an AA - but that's just me.

For some people though, this is important to them, in which case I say go for it. Certainly can't hurt.

And, I would think that if you needed an AS/AA quickly for work or some other reason, then it might be worth it to get that first and then go for the BSBA within a few months (to get the $2000 res waiver to work for you). It's only an extra $323 for it if you really want it (grad fee) before the BSBA.

Thanks I wouldn't mind doing the extra credits after my BSBA to get an associates in Computer Science or even CIS. Its all about that extra 2k that I wouldn't want to pay for it. I wouldn't mind paying a separate grad fee like a month or two later if that what it takes. Its just about how quickly I can finish the extra credits to finish the degree. The Computer degree isn't a priority or anything it would just give me some extra "fuel" to get into ITS at my job. But if there is to much involved in getting it I'm not going to bother. I don't think I could complete them all at the same time to dual apply so this might be out. All my CC courses for spring are Accounting based and I plan on being done with my BSBA in May or June. Don't see where I can get the credits outside of a CC setting and just don't have the time for that.

I'm pretty sure you can't get a second BSBA at TESU - you either have to earn the Accounting and CIS at the same time (dual degree), or else give up on the CIS.

You could go back for the BACS, but there are a lot of requirements for that one.

One more question: Do I have to *register* for the ASBA in some way? When I log into MyEdison (and then OSS) it just shows me going for the BSBA. Is there a way to enroll for both the ASBA and the BSBA so that they both show up?

Yes, you have to ask advising to add the ASBA (or the ASNSM in CS) to your academic plan. You will then have two evaluations in student services. There's no downside to doing so. It doesn't cost anything and you don't have to complete the requirements if you don't want to. I still have an ASNSM in CS in my account because I didn't feel like taking the one extra course it required.

I wouldn't waste associate's degrees. You might want to go back for something else later on. I wish I hadn't wasted an associate's on Environmental, Safety, and Security Technology. That degree has not led to one job or interview.
