TESU Finance AOS options - StoicJ - 06-13-2017

For the 18 finance credits I see:
Tecep, Money & Banking (UL)
Tecep or DSST, Security Analysis (UL)
Corporate Finance (UL)
International Finance (UL)
Study.com, Financial Mgmt (LL)

Do you know of any inexpensive options for a 2nd LL course? Study.com's Personal Finance won't work, right? Perhaps Business Statistics?

Maybe a real estate finance course that's ACE recommended?

Correct, Personal Finance is a free elective only. Double check the Financial Management course...that may only be 2 credits.

Financial management is the same as intro to finance. It will go in the core. Business statistics won't work either. Ask TESU about the CSU Global CBE for Managerial Economics.

There is no DSST for Security Analysis. The DSST is Money and Banking and duplicates the TECEP for Financial Institutions and Markets or whatever it's called. There's no Money and Banking TECEP.

International Finance (UL) - Davar FIN-334
Study.com, Financial Mgmt (LL) - this comes in as FIN-100, Intro to Finance - not certain they will let you use it in the AOS, but ask and see

Here is what I have:

Financial Institutions and Markets FIN-331 (I would consider this a duplicate of the Money & Banking DSST, but I've heard you can use this).

And then I think CSU-Global's Assessing & Managing Risk should work (it comes in under the Project Management area of CSU-Global, but Risk Management is one of the courses listed on the Finance degree as an elective).

Financial Performance in Ops Management might work as well.

Whatever you do, I would get them pre approved. We know Davar will work, we know the TECEP's will work, not sure of the Study.com course, not sure of the possible DSST duplicate, not sure of CSU-Global's courses.

The TESU website states that it's a duplicate.

BSBA Degree in Finance at Thomas Edison State University

Yes, but then someone on here said that TESU put both into the AOS for them, so I don't know if they still consider it a duplicate, or if someone there made a mistake.


TESU Finance AOS options - ndelco - 06-14-2017

TESU told me the Study.com course is FIN-100 Intro to Finance, but the transfer guide shows it as FIN-200 Intro to Finance. I don't know if that matters or not.


TESU Finance AOS options - sanantone - 06-14-2017

There's also an UL Intro to Finance for the DSST. It's a requirement for the business core. I doubt TESU will let you use it in the AOS, but it doesn't hurt to ask.


TESU Finance AOS options - StoicJ - 06-14-2017

Oops, I meant to say the Money & Banking (3 UL) was the DSST, not the Security Analysis.

Financial Mgmt (Study.com FIN-104) is supposed to TESU transfer as FIN-200, but, yeah, only 2 credits (2 LL). That screws things up a little. May verify AOS with adviser.

TECEP for Security Analysis (3 UL). I am working on Davar Corporate Finance (3 UL) and may wait til this weekend to take the exam, and next week I will do Davar Multinational Business Finance aka International Finance (3 UL).

It does look like there are a handful of CSU Global CBE's that would make sense as Finance AOS courses. I also browsed ACE course descriptions with "risk", "finance", "investment", etc. and there appear to be a few offerings with decent prices, and credits vary from 1-3. Obviously TESU can accept or not. An online TESU course is around $1350 with the affiliate discount, right?

I used to broker real estate notes years ago. Then I got into actual real estate and bought around 50+ houses and multi-families that I fixed up and sold. Dealt with lots of financing there. I think I may get back into that after I move to Latin America, maybe even some small-scale development, and work directly with banks and institutional investors to set up financing programs for buyers. If I go GM, I can wrap up the degree requirements before I leave the country, and I will say I have a bachelor's in business administration. If I go the Finance route, I wouldn't finish until perhaps November, and I'd say my bachelor's is in finance. Not sure how much it will matter.

Don't bother with a 2cr course in the AOS unless you have an additional 1cr course you can use there.

CSU-Global's CBE for Analyzing Financial Statements - even though CSU-G lists as a FIN course, it is considered an ACC course at TESU, so count that one out.
