Bsba tesc - Collegelady2 - 05-15-2017
What am I suppossed to choose for my program/area of study? Or which one do you guys recommend filling my app out now. Was going to do the Strategic Management TECEP. Could I double major if I was interested in Accounting as well? How much do these 2 degrees overlap? Also what should I put for where it says have you attended college before working on cleps and study.com now also went to college almost 20 years ago at this point thinking about not even transferring those credits in. As taking these tests doesn't seem bad at all can I transfer those in at later date if I decide to do so? Is the Federal Taxation TECEP also going away in June maybe I should do both the Strategic Managment and the Federal Taxation TECEPS? Anyone willing to walk me thru this I feel scared that I'm not going to choose the right options?

Do it when you are ready to pay the $75 app fee Was going to do the Strategic Management TECEP. Needed for ALL Business Degrees Could I double major if I was interested in Accounting as well? Sure but as well as what? How much do these 2 degrees overlap? Which two degrees? You can double major for BSBA in two different areas, you fulfill the requirements of one degree and then add 24 or so credits in your other AoS. Also what should I put for where it says have you attended college before working on cleps and study.com now also went to college almost 20 years ago at this point thinking about not even transferring those credits in. As taking these tests doesn't seem bad at all can I transfer those in at later date if I decide to do so? Why not just transfer them in now, save the money and send these transcripts rather then paying the money for the course again. Is the Federal Taxation TECEP also going away in June maybe I should do both the Strategic Management and the Federal Taxation TECEPS? Haven't heard anything about the Federal Income Tax TECEP going away Anyone willing to walk me thru this I feel scared that I'm not going to choose the right options?Choose the options you feel comfortable with.
Honestly only do what you WANT to do, there is nothing worse then completing everything to only not be happy with the degree you got. I went back and forth on GM or Accounting and I finally decided I wanted a Concentration so I went with Accounting. The GM would have already been done with just one TECEP but like I said I wanted a Concentration so Accounting it is.

I'm ready to pay the $75 app fee I want to get started on the Strategic Management TECEP asap before it goes away and I cost myself alot of money. Is BSBA that I've seen alot of people do same as accounting different people choose different concentrations? I'm highly confused trying to sort thru all of this. Most of my credits in past were in the accounting field other than a couple science classes which someone already said I would probably have to take again as it is so old. So if I don't transfer my credits in now can I transfer them in later? Thanks for the response

Essentially, a BSBA General Management is already a Business Admin degree without a concentration or a concentration of General Management.
The other concentrations are all listed in the BSBA page and you can choose which one or two concentrations you would like.
I was choosing both CIS & Marketing but decided last minute to just go for General Management as the CIS courses are harder to find.
You may want to go for Accounting & Marketing or Accounting & Finance, it all depends on the individual...

Don't be confused, be prepared! You can transfer ALL your credits AFTER you finish your TECEP.

The more credits you transfer, the more time, money, and energy you save.

Is it going to look any differently if I had alot of classes that I failed in past because I failed to go to class?

I don't think they would even add that to their system, they only add courses that you have passed for credit. Failed ones don't get credit.
You don't need to worry about the GPA or anything, apply and get your credits finish from other sources, then send them all in...

Review the Beginners Guide in the Wiki and review the contents of the wiki as well.
You need to get yourself a spreadsheet going to keep reference and track your progress.

BSBA = The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
But then you need to have some form of concentration, most on here go for the General Management because it is 100% test outable. (Until TECEP goes away for Strategic Management). The BSBA is just shorting a typical main degree heading, then you would add something to it.
For Example I will have a BSBA : Accounting.

Synicaal is the BSBA in accounting 100% test outable? Maybe I will do finance and accounting double major?
