Degree Plan Help using DAU courses - sava60 - 10-18-2015
Below is a list of classes taken at a Community College, TEEX and DAU. DAU is a University for Department of Defense employees. Can take these classes through DAU and they are ACE approved. I have tried asking Excelsior, Thomas Edison and Charter Oak how these classes might fit into a BA or BS degree but the person I spoke to didn't seem to know anything about DAU courses. They say to apply and have the transcript sent. Hoping that someone here could help me with a plan.

COSC will most likely view your DAU as either LL business/accounting and/or free electives.
At a glance I see you need to complete a few general eds, and 30 credits at the UL within a concentration(s).
What is your goal?
Degree Plan Help using DAU courses - dfrecore - 10-19-2015
I don't know anything about COSC or EC, but for TESC, this looks like a BSBA degree with a concentration in Operations Management. Unfortunately, all of those DAU courses are LL, so it doesn't help you get the UL credits you need for any degree. But, if you go and look at the degree, you will see what I'm talking about.
If you just want a BSBA in General Management degree from TESC, it's totally test-outable, but a lot of those DAU courses won't count towards it. If you want the BSBA in Operations Management, you'll have to work a little harder to get the UL courses you need (if you want to try to find them somewhere other than TESC), but it looks like that's really your interest, and you might be best served by trying for that degree if you want it.
Intro to Operations Management TECEP is UL ($111), MIS DSST is UL ($100), Project Management from Sophia is UL ($329) - all will fit in that degree plan and get you those necessary UL credits.
The free Kaplan PLA will also fit in your GenEd, there is a free Ethics 2-cr course - but I think you're tapped out for our free resources here. You also need to see if any of the DAU courses will place in the GenEd section.
I would think about applying at TESC and see what they say and where everything fits, when you're ready to take those final UL courses.

Oh yeah, and the schools may not know what DAU is, but they certainly know what ACE-approved is, so I would stick with that language instead.
Unfortunately, I don't think any of the Big 3 will help figure out where those courses might fall until you actually apply. So you're stuck with the $75 price tag for at least one of the schools.

sava60,
Open up a separate tab. Log into google and type the following... DAU site:degreeforum.net
Several of us have discussed this. I used the AF Contracting courses for a BSBA in Operations Management at TESC. Another member used DAU courses for this. Below is one of the threads, I'm posting this one because it was recent, but if you do the above, you won't regret it.
