Help with BS roadmap!!! - justrich - 10-24-2013
As of today I have amassed 99+ credits (If all transfer without duplicating). I initially started with wanting to major in communications then I joined the military started utilizing clep/dsst etc. and switched to business. I am not able to receive an eval from one of the big 3 because I have to pay off some fees before I can get my official transcript. I want to finish with a BS (or BA to use all arts credits I have) in business but Im thinking a BSLA is the way for me to go. What exams with the credits I have listed below will help me finish up by August (possibly months before) and would it better to go through Excelsior or COSC as those are the who I would bank my credits with. Thanks to all

Here is a Google Spreadsheet you can use to plug in your courses. It is a new document that I threw together to match Excelsior's degree requirements document. It isn't fancy, but it should be a start.

Here is the Excelsior Document that shows where various exams fit into their categories. Be sure to scroll all of the way to the end. I have had others look at the first few pages and complain it only covers Excelsiors in-house exams because they didn't bother to read the whole document.

That is about the best I can do. There may be a couple that are wrong, but most should be correct. This should give you enough to plug into the spreadsheet and get a good idea of what you are missing.

TESC is the best for business. If you already amassed a lot of business credits, most of them will only be counted as free electives in a liberal arts program no matter where you attend.

I was thinking I could go with the BS Liberal Arts w/ excelsior since I would be only a few classes away from taking the capstone and graduating
