TESU BSBA Degree Plan --- less time & money

[Bach2Mast]

Hello All,

I'm very new to this site and have seen some older degree plans but Iam not sure if they are applicable present day.... Does anyone have a current TESU degree plan (BSBA) that you can post which would be 100% test -out-able for the convenience of saving both time and money? 

Based on my transcript, I may be able to transfer about 33 credits as per TESU back in 2016 (need to re-verify)

I currently work in the Supply Chain industry with about 13 years experience so to be honest, I need a BS in any subject as my experience and six sigma certification can attest for my work knowledge.

Thank you all in advance.

I saw your previous post, it's great you're starting off with a few credits already. Review the Beginners Guide/Wiki and paste your evaluation from TESU into the reply, we need to know what credits you have so we won't need to recommend taking the same courses over again.

Hello, I got your private message.

1) Answer the following questions, so I can better gauge which of the 3 you're looking at - cheap, easy, or fast.
A) Are you close to a testing site for CLEP? How far and how long would it take you to get there and back?
B) Do you have time to study and test at a site or would you rather do everything online for a little extra in price?
C) What is your price range you're looking at for the degree and time you want to set to complete the degree?
D) Are you leaning towards cheap, easy, fast or a combo of them all? Rank them in priority.

2) Have you applied to the school of choice, are you currently enrolled (taking a course)? Y/N
Do you have an academic evaluation? Y/N - If yes, copy/paste the evaluation.
If no, enter all your credits you have completed and note the school/course you took and grade.

3) What exactly are you looking for help with or advice on? I was wondering how busy are you? How much time do you have to spend on studying? Can you skip step two and tell me where these courses came from?

Hi, I have homework for you!  Please review this attached xlsx file, it has my recommendations. I have selected SL/Study.com as these are the two ACE options I recommend for cheap/easy/fast. If you want to save some $, you can do so with CLEPs, but it'll be slower and may not be as easy. You can review the spreadsheet that dfrecore provided as a guideline/option and update this xlsx.

1) I also have alternative recommendations, they are as follows: Instead of doing the StraighterLine Business Ethics, complete the Institutes Ethics (2 credits), and the Sophia (2 credits).  This will save you $59 and give you one extra free elective credit.

2) Anything in YELLOW, leave it for now, as I can't be sure it'll transfer in exactly as that.  You don't have an evaluation, you may want to apply and get the evaluation so you know where they go.  Setup an ACE account for your upcoming SL/Study.com credits.

3) Anything in RED is what you're missing, work on them.  Work on ALEKS first as it's just $20/9 credits. Once done, work on the StraighterLine courses.  These are quick, as you just need to do the exams/final open book for most of them. I would complete the bulk of the StraighterLine courses first and work on the Study.com afterward.

With that amount of time you mentioned you have, it will not take that long to finish all requirements.  At the most, I would guess half that!  3 months for the Capstone course and 3 months for the remainder of your degree requirements.  Keep a schedule and work on them, for example, 5-6 SL courses/month, 3-4 Study.com/month, etc.

Review the Beginners Guide post#16 & #27/28 - Review the requirements for the BSBA AOS's as there are a few you can decide from, my suggestion is to stay with the General Management option.  If you need more plan/course options, review dfrecore's templates.
