Hi everyone thanks for all the help that you guys provide. I think my plan for getting my college degree is coming together. I need some advice tips to see if my thinking is wrong in some areas.
I’ve been going to my local Community college for the past year and a half where they set me up for a transfer Associate’s to a Cal state. More than likely I will not be going that route. Some of you have advised me go to the TESU route and that's probably what I'm going to do now. The good thing about is that most if not all of the credits transfer to TESU or Excelsior.
I’ve done my academic evaluation twice with TESU and they recommend the AAS in Applied Electronics for me due to my Navy rating. I also had them do one for a BSBA in Healthcare management, I may end up dong it in Accounting though. It looks like that after I complete the requirements for a BSBA I can also get the Associates for an additional 5 units. I like this idea because the AAS is in a completely different area then the Business Degree and it matches my current job.
I'm assuming that the 1 credit cornerstone is the same for both and only need to do it once. It looks like I will need the capstone and two more units in the applied electronics area after I'm done with the BSBA or on my way to it.
My job has tuition assistance through EdAssist and they pay up to $2500 per year. I also have the GI Bill that expires in June 23 of this year. At my job I can complete one degree and apply for another up to $30,000 lifetime.
Anybody see any problem with my plan. I'm half tempted to finish the AAS first but I'm not sure yet. Thanks for any advise given.
