TESU BALS-Please review

[dfrecore]

Thank you! That’s really very helpful. I’ve not taken Davar yet, and SDC is familiar. I’m a little nervous about transferability after the recent experience with the Org Theory... but I do like history too.

My apologies for the formatting. I wanted to make it easy, and ended up complicating it. Lesson learned. 

So will COSC accept the SDC presentations in the workplace? This was what I used to fulfill the requirement at TESU.

Thanks again!

COSC will not accept Davar (they are NCCRS instead of ACE), and they will not accept Presentation Skills to meet their Oral Comm requirement unfortunately (I'm actually not really sure why TESU does if that's any consolation).

Regarding Org Theory, the current ACE recommendation expires on 11/30/20, so maybe the person you talked with was confused, or maybe they just didn't tell you the caveat that you have to finish by that time for it to count as UL.

Study.com is probably in the process of renewing it, so it may not be an issue, but I would do it and finish before 11/30 if I were you.  And send it in right away.

For your current situation, you need to decide on either one or the other - cheaper or easier/faster.
TESU: Cost is the issue, they only need 18 Upper Level credits that can be found with ACE/NCCRS options such as Davar/Study.com, etc
COSC: Total cost is cheaper, but you'll need to take some courses over again and also need 30 Upper Level credits and you need at minimum 24 credits from a Regionally Accredited institution to transfer those from.

Update: Rachel83Az has examples of UL from Coopersmith/Study.com here https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ge...egree_Plan

There's no need to apologize for the formatting, each person looks at evaluations differently, I just mainly look at what's missing and not what you have, otherwise I would have known you took the CSM course instead of recommending that as a GE in addition to the other TEEX.  

Anyways, you're missing 3 GE and 4 UL in the AOS, find anything you are interested in from any course provide you're familiar with.  I chose Davar as an example, you don't have to stick with them, I only suggested them as they're just a simple exam after reviewing their powerpoint slides and any other material they have (just like Coopersmith).

On the link to Rachel83AZ's examples, please note that Coopersmith's Therapeutic Interviewing (PSY-312) does NOT work at TESU for upper level in area of study for BALS. Although it is called a psychology course at Coopersmith, TESU brings the credit in as a Counseling course.

The course she probably meant to include was Coopersmith's Foundations of Stress Management.

If you choose to use Foundations of Stress Management, please review this post about a glitch in TESU's system and be ready to ask Registrar and/or Advisor to input correct course https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid312194

ah, now you understand the confusion. The course numbers changed slightly and the system didn't update that. weird. But TESU was quick to fix it when I asked for my needs.

If TESU gives you UL for Organization Theory, then you only have 3 UL to go. If they don't then you have 4 UL just like their eval shows. You got this.

Thank you for the correction, I've fixed it on the wiki. That's definitely why it says to check before taking any of the courses. I might have messed up or requirements might have changed.

I also like the  part where you say those are only examples and there are many more. Very encouraging to find courses that are of interest to each person.

Thank you for keeping those wiki updated. That's a lot of work in a big project and we all appreciate it.

Perhaps I have the wrong SDC course. On ACE National Guide, Org Theory from SDC (BUS 323) shows for UL from Sept 2020 to Aug 2023. As though it just recently renewed.


I'm curious. Where is the information about end of November coming from?

I'm on ACE right now, and took a screen shot of the course

Well that is odd.  I'm also on ACE right now.  Here's my screenshot.  going to a whole different look....

I'm actually in my ACE account, and looked it up there. Strange.  I did find the national guide and checked there, and see what you have.

I sent both the SDC page and the ACE page stating the same, and then discussed at length with the advisor why this is not ok. At least, as a protection of their trademark, TESU should be monitoring what is stated on a recent “partner” website that “guarantees” transfer. I was also told prior that they accept ACE recommendations.  
So first the issue was that accreditation had “expired”, I sent the screenshot of ACE that it hadn’t, then the link from SDC. Overall it was circuitous and confusing rationale.
Needless to say the discussions didn’t help.
