What after TESU BSBA GM?

[sarahrahul]

I am still working on getting my BSBA GM from TESU but i have been wondering if i would able to enroll in a MBA program from a State university after getting the degree from here Or does it have to be from TESU?

I mean if i want admission in UofM or Wisconsin university , is it possible ? Would they consider my BSBA from TESU ?


Thanks

Regarding TESU, this is a Bachelor's degree in Business from a Regionally Accredited college (the best accreditation there is). They are also a NJ State University. And their business program is newly ACBSP-accredited as well.

So yes, any school will "consider" this degree.

Now, if you want to get into a particular school for an MBA, then you need to find out what their requirements are, and work backwards from there. For instance, if they require that you have 30 or 60 graded credits, then you need to make sure that you take at least 30 or 60 credits for grades. If they have a GPA requirement, you need to meet that as well.

If you went to a traditional school and got 120 credits traditionally (meaning all of them were graded), then this would not be an issue. But the GPA sure would.

Many people on this forum have gotten a degree from one of the Big 3 and then gone on to get a masters degree (or even higher) from many different schools.

And, an MBA from TESU is outrageously expensive, I don't think any of us here would advise you to get that when there are so many options available elsewhere.

Yes, they won't think that TESU is bad.

But you may need to have a GPA like dfrecore said. Most of us graduating from TESU have no GPA, or maybe 1-2 classes that are graded. So we will have a GPA, but the grad school can see it was based on only 1-2 classes, and some of them look for 30 credits of GPA. Sometimes they look for grades in specific courses. I am not sure if any business grad schools care about specific courses, but some grad schools do.

Also, for some of us, it's hard to get professional letter(s) of recommendation if we have no professors to ask and no past employers.

This is why the people on this forum should get to know each other a little bit so that we can write each other letters of recommendation and create our own alumni network.

If that ever happens i am in for sure . Maybe create a new post for it ?

I was wondering is there a facebook page for this forum?

[bjcheung77]

TESU already has an alumni network and a foundation, they "don't" need another one...
You can join the alumni network on facebook for TESU, one idea is to create a mega thread.
Have everyone who wants to be in from degreeforum, enter their name in that thread.

I don't think this is even remotely close to being true. MANY of us have spent years taking classes here or there, or took classes a long time ago, and have GPA's, but just never finished our degrees for a myriad of reasons.

I have 75 graded credits, and I know of others on here have many more than that.

Oh, I was thinking of only TESU GPA, but you're right, that wasn't relevant.

Yep I transferred in 60 that were applicable to my degree and even more that don't apply.
