I'm looking up ace accredited courses on Acenet and ICS-0152 (Financial Management) looks like it would substitute for the Principles of Finance slot on my TESC BSBA. If anyone has made this substitution pleas let me know.

Last I heard, that course from PF wasn't ACE approved.

In May I took PennFoster's Financial Management - ACE course # ICS-0152 which met TESC's FIN-301 Principles of Finance.

I took it last year and it worked for me. Check the ACE website for details though. Do not trust what PF reps tell you about ACE recommendations.

Oh, I guess I was thinking of a different PF finance course.

I suspect you are thinking of the PF "Principles of Finance" which is retired. The Financial Management does cover Principles of Finance at TESC. At least, according to my advisor.

I completed the class in 3 evenings after working all day. It took almost 1 week to get my final exam graded. Of course, I had spent quite a bit of time studying for the CLEP (or was in DSST) for Principles of Finance. I decided I didn't want to risk a failure on the test so I took the PF course. It was a good choice for me. Also, I had just been through Accounting I and II and Macro and Microeconomics with SL. So you could say that my head was full of Finance-related info.
