Do Ethics exams overlap at TESC? - punchyfacey - 04-06-2014

According to the following information it looks like SL Business ethics and the two DSST Ethics exams do not overlap. Can anyone confirm that? If I could take all three that would be great.

BUS-302-DE Business Ethics and Society
PHI-287-DE Ethics in America
PHI-384 Business Ethics - BUS106

These three courses do not duplicate. Actually they build on each other which makes studying much easier. I would take them consecutively while the histories and basics are still fresh in your mind.

For business students, BUS302 fills a requirement in section IIa business core (business in society or international mgmt). PHI287 & PHI384 will fill section Ic gen ed personal and social resp (ethics & resp ethical lead). Sociology or anthropology will fill the final Ic slot (diversity/glob lit). Link below.
General Education Courses

I read a post that stated ethics, sociology and anthropology fit that section. If enrolled, I would call either way to be sure. You could ask them to add the courses as planned credit. Good luck!

Could PHI-384 be used to fill a business elective? I already have BUS-302 and BUS-302 and I would like to know if I could use PHI-384 as a business elective. Or would it default be a general elective?

As an enrolled student in that program, you could find out quite easily; send a ticket through the helpdesk to advising requesting the course be added as planned credit. The software would then re-sort the courses and you would see where BUS302 lands. It's a business course, if it does not move to business electives, it will drop to free electives. If the course does not meet your needs, you only resubmit the same ticket and ask them to remove the course.

Please report back the results. I am also very interested in the answer. Sometimes I miss being an undergrad. Well, maybe not...it's just a completely different energy.

Unfortunately I'm not currently enrolled. Also I meant to write that I have taken both BUS-302 and PHI-287 DSSTs.
After looking again, it seems like Business in Society/ international management can be met with Straighterline Business Ethics. Meaning that section C ethics can be DSST Ethics in America, Business Core Business in Society/Inter Management can be Straighterline Business Ethics, and DSST Business Ethics and Society would then be bumped down to business elective.
I might go this route just to see if it can be done. If I do I'll post my results.
