Help! TESU roadmap for my intended double major - DarthArbiter00 - 02-21-2018
Hi, I need help with mapping my intended double major. BA English and BSBA International Business. I have most of the basics mapped out and currently have 15 credit hours from Junior/Senior year including: AP Biology, AP Statistics, Comp I and II, and Intro to Sociology. I have been following the basics list here: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2016-and-After2.cfm. The lists for required credits for the majors are found here https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/ba/English.cfm and here https://www.tesu.edu/business/bsba/International-Business.cfm. For now any help with finishing mapping the basics out is priority, but any help with the rest will be greatly appreciated too. Thank you!

You cannot get a double major from TESU from 2 different schools (the school of Arts & Sciences, and the school of Business & Management).
You can get a double major within the same school (so BA in English and Communication, or Computer Science and Math) or for a BSBA, 2 concentrations.
You can either get the BSBA first, and then get a 2nd degree (24 new credits in the English AOS for the English degree), or switch it around.
Another good plan is to get a BA in one, and a masters in the other - like a BA in English, and then an MBA from somewhere else (competency-based schools seem to be your best bet to get one cheaply). The cost would probably be similar to the 2nd degree if you went BA in English at TESU/MBA at WGU.

Okay, by bad on terminology. I'm new to this whole college planning scene so I thought that two bachelor's was called a 'double major'. Thanks for the correction. The need still remains, can you help me with plotting my basics via ACE accredited websites?

I'm not sure you understand, yet. You can't earn both of those at the same time. Read this article to understand better:
