Macroeconomics and microeconomics are required for the BSBA, but those can be taken through Straighterline. Principles of Supervision counts as a business elective.

If you have any management or business experience, consider doing PLAs (prior learning assessments) through Learning Counts. They are going through a transition period, though, because they're dropping ACE in favor of direct partnerships with colleges and NCCRS approval. ACE evaluation must be expensive.

Kat0616 Wrote:Hi again,
Thank you all for your help in this.
For the ASBA from TESC, I don't really have much just yet. I failed the Clep for Principles of Management. and I have been trying to study for the American Literature Clep.
What I have so far is 6 credits, that will be for my Free Electives, from taking FEMA courses. I need 54 more credits. I did take a look at the Straighterline website, and it looks like I can use them as well. Which looks pretty good, they have a Principles of Management course, I can take instead of waiting 6 months.
Since you're going for the ASBA instead of a full BSBA, I personally would say that Straighterline is definitely your best (but not only) option. Just about every course you need for the ASBA can be completed through them. First, take a look at this page which will tells how SL's courses transfer to TESC: EquivalencySearchResults
Now let's plug some of these in to your degree plan to get a better look:
Quote:English Composition-- need (6)
ENC-101/102-CE (6) College Composition CLEP
Online English Course - Take English Composition for College Credit - StraighterLine
English Composition II - StraighterLine
Quote:Humanities-- need (6)
LIT-111/112-CE (6) American Literature CLEP
I'd strongly recommend taking the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP exam. I know it's a CLEP, but this has a very high passing rate with little study time needed. However, if you prefer not to take the CLEP than the only other option I know of for this would be to take a course through TESC or another school like Clovis Community College.
Quote:Social Science-- need (9)
ECO-112-CE (3) Principles of Microeconomics CLEP
SOC-101-CE (3) Introductory Sociology CLEP
PSY-101-CE (3) Introductory Psychology CLEP
Online Economics Course - Take Macroeconomics Online - StraighterLine (take this course instead of Sociology OR Psychology since it'll help to pass Microeconomics and is required if you ever go for the BSBA later)
Microeconomics Online Course - Take an Economics Course Online - StraighterLine
Choose only 1 of the following:
Online Sociology Course - Take Introduction to Sociology and Earn Sociology 101 Course Credit for College - StraighterLine
Introduction to Psychology - Online Psychology Course For College Credit in Intro to Psychology - StraighterLine
Quote:Natural Sciences and Mathematics-- need (6)
MAT-129-CE (3) Pre-Calculus (3) CLEP
BIO-111/112-CE (6) Biology (nonlab) CLEP
For math, I'd recommend Trigonometry through ALEKS.com. TESC will accept this in place of Pre-Calc, which is a much harder course. The cost is only $20/month!
For science: Online Biology Course - College Biology Online Class - StraighterLine
Quote:General Education Electives-- need (3)
BIO-111/112-CE (6) Biology (nonlab) CLEP
Since SL's biology (nonlab) is only worth 3 credits, you'll need to pick something else for this. There are plenty of options to choose from at SL. Better though IMO would be to take POLSC201 through Saylor to fill these 3 credits.
Quote:Management Core--Have to have these--
ACC-101-DE (3) Principles of Financial Accounting DSST
ACC-102-TE (3) Introduction to Managerial Accounting TECEP --not sure if that is the right one---I need (Principles of Managerial Accounting)
Online Accounting Course - College Accounting Course for Credit - StraighterLine
Online Advanced Accounting - Corporate Accounting - Accounting Class - StraighterLine
Quote:??? Legal Environment for Business----I need to call the college and find out where this one is??
THis should be Business Law. You can take this through SL: Online Business Law Course - Business Law Class - StraighterLine
OR
Consider taking BUS205 through Saylor.
Quote:MAN-301-CE (3) Principles of Management CLEP--failed
Principles of Management-Online Course-Principles of Management Class - StraighterLine
Quote:MAR-301-CE (3) Principles of Marketing CLEP
Propero Principles of Marketing (Propero/Pearson Learning)
OR
BAS282 through KCTCS.
Quote:COS-101-DE (3) Introduction to Computers/CIS DSST
See if one of the free TEEX courses will work here.
OR
Take CIS100 through KCTCS.
Quote:Business Electives- need (6)
Pick any 2 of these:
Business Ethics Course Online - Ethics in Marketing - StraighterLine
Online Introduction to Business Course - Intro to Business - StraighterLine
Online Managerial Accounting Course - Learn about Managerial and Business Accounting - StraighterLine
Online Business Communication Course - Business Communication Course - StraighterLine
Organizational Behavior Course Online - Business Classes Online - StraighterLine
Take any CLEPs or DSSTs you think you can handle in place of these courses (give Education Portal and these study links a try) or just stick with SL and these other options. Don't forget that there are even more options for the courses you need that are listed at DF Wiki: Sources of Credit - Degree Forum Wiki
Remember that this is YOUR degree plan so make whatever changes you think are necessary and choose whatever other options out there which will work best for YOU! You CAN do this!!!
A couple of more things, if you do decide to take a lot of courses through SL don't forget about these "bundle" options to save money: http://www.straighterline.com/discounted-course-bundles
Also, buy USED textbooks for the SL courses through Amazon, Half.com, eBay, etc. You can get them for much less than going through SL's recommended sellers.

I just thought of something, you don't necessarily need to take a literature course or CLEP to satisfy the Humanities requirement for the ASBA. If you prefer Straighterline courses you can take 2 of any of these:
Online Humanities Courses - Take College Humanities Courses Online - StraighterLine
BA in History, TESC, Graduated September 2010
MA in History, American Public University, currently pursuing
Virginia teaching license, currently pursuing

Several of their courses are self-paced within 8/12/16 week terms. They specialize in working with the military and their spouses. They also have a very liberal CBE policy (AP, CLEP, DSST, and ECE) if you're interested in an associates degree along the way. They'll even consider ACE-approved credits. This is a great suggestion. I think UMUC and K-State both have 2+2 transfer arrangements with Central Texas College so you can upgrade to a 4-year degree relatively painlessly after getting the AA/AS.

That's interesting and I never knew that K-State counts graded CLEPs toward their residency requirement until you brought it up.

Uh-oh, I think this thread will spawn a whole new generation of credit laundering schemes (a la FHSU).

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Kat - how did you study for management? There is no reason to fail that class if you read the entire REA management book, take all the practice tests and focus on learning the answers to the practice test questions you get wrong. The book is around 200 pages so it should take you about 5-6 hours to read the entire thing. Once you read it fully, then begin "studying" and taking practice tests.
Kids who take college courses and who never read the textbook are putting themselves at a great disadvantage hoping that the teacher covers everything in class. It is even worse for CLEP tests since there is no teacher.

Well, there are plenty of schools which offer grades for CLEP/DSST out there, (including EC) most of them just require enrollment before they will transcript anything. Plus, just because the CLEPs count towards residency doesn't mean that they're not listed on the transcript as CLEP. (which they are)
