Can someone help me? - studyandpass5 - 03-29-2018
Can someone help me understand how my CLEPs/DSSTs/SL will fit into a TESU BSBA CIS degree? It's a bit confusing! Here are the tests I've taken:
CLEP:
Biology
College Algebra
A+I Lit (no essay)
Humanities
English Lit
US. History I
Western Civ I
Princ. of Marketing
Princ. of Management
Introductory Sociology
College Comp
Princ. Macroeconomics
Princ. Microeconomics
DSST:
World Religions
Intro to Computers
Straighterline:
Business Communications
Accounting I
Accounting II
I'm currently taking SL Organizational Behavior. TESU's degrees have always been confusing to me, so if someone can help me out, it will be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure someone will give you plan details, but wanted to point out that SL Organizational Behavior will only count as UL until tomorrow 3/31/18 under the ACP (Alternative Credit Project) plan. It was downgraded to LL with TESU as a direct from SL a few weeks ago. I'm not sure how close you are to completing it, but if you can finish it by the end of day tomorrow it would be worth paying the few dollars for same day exam.
EDIT: TESU updated their ACP site and is now showing LL for SL Organizational Behavior. If you do not have this course already slotted as UL with TESU, it looks like they aren't going to give the UL credit anymore even through the ACP program.

Thank you for the heads up! Unfortunately, I just started it, so finishing it tomorrow is not going to work out. Do you happen to know if TESU requires that course to be UL for a CIS degree?

In the TESU BSBA-CIS it would come in as a General Education course (as a Psychology course - Business and Industry PSY-261 I believe now that it considered LL), so it does not matter that it is now LL. If you were in the BSBA-GM or HR concentration it would have fallen under the AOS and it would likely matter to you. I know I used it as one my BSBA-GM UL AOS courses - but that was before the drop to LL status this month. It can still be used in the AOS of the BSBA-GM concentration, just as a LL credit course. It was very popular for those in the GM and HR concentrations to meet one of the UL requirements in the AOS. It is still available as UL through other sources, just not SL anymore.

Organizational Behavior is not required (or even within the AOS) for a BSBA CIS degree. At best it would be a GenEd elective.
Org Behavior is optional for the BSBA GM AOS in the management area. The only degrees I can think of where it might be mandatory would be BSBA-HR or BS Organizational Leadership, but I haven't looked at those recently.

Here's a degree plan. Don't forget to take some free courses, as they will be helpful to you.
Also, you didn't say whether your College Comp CLEP was with or without essay. If it's without, then the course counts as ENC-101, 3cr. If it's with, then it counts as ENC-101 & ENC-102, and is 6cr.

College Comp is with the essay. A+I Lit is without the essay, but I don't think TESU requires it.

No TESU doesn't require the essay for A&I Lit, and it's still 6cr.
