testing out SL

[creditmonsoon]

I love the SL system so much that I wish I could completely test out using it. Of course, you have the "strategic management" or the "capstone," but would I be able to test out more in a BALS than my current BSBA objective? The only drawback is the 3 mo capstone. Such a drag. I don't mind writing papers, doing assignments, etc. but I like getting things done and not having to wait each week for a new assignment. However, if I have to take the cornerstone anyway (3 mo program), then I might as well go for BALS since it allows me to test out of SL

Does that make sense?

You could use up to 90 credits from a single source, so you would still need 30 credits from another source.

With the plan I gave you for the BSBA, you already have 15cr with SL, and you could do another 48cr through them for a total of 63cr. For a BALS, you could do more, but you're still going to have to go outside of SL for a lot of your UL and other AOS courses plus the capstone. I think you will still be limited because they don't offer everything you need, or you'll hit the 90cr max.

hilarious This is the second time I think you mentioned about the 3 months of "waiting" and you needing this done ASAP. You won't be waiting around doing nothing as you have other courses elsewhere you can complete the other requirements while waiting. For example, I'm taking 3 PF courses, while i'm "waiting for those" to be graded... I'm also taking my studies for Saylor.

I still don't see an "issue with waiting", unless of course, you can finish your degree in those 3 months, then yeah... I don't think there's any other way to do it, you need to grab and take credits at multiple places to reach that 120, and can't be more than 90 credits at one place. My suggestion, go with the flow, do what you can, don't let that "3 months wait" stop you, get other credits done in that time too!

I thought that the Capstone for the BSBA was available as a TECEP. You can take that immediately after you register if you want.

Edit: Nevermind I now see you were talking theoretically if you went BALS.
