I'm sorry, this is very foreign to me. I don't understand...

No worries, do the addendum here, and I'll create a degree plan for you: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid363958

ADDENDUM:

Budget: I have a max of $50K saved up. I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: Honestly, just no kids, live with parents and my pets. I currently work part time, on the weekends and can work on my studies full time since I'm home monday-friday.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 2-4 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish within 1-1.5 years (12-18 months)
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Yes, I have pell grant, working at Amazon with Career Choice.

I have a short attention span sometimes, I lack focus but when I don't have distractions I tend to get the work done. I'm not a good test taker but if I have something to study with then I can do my best to pass the test.

Thank you.

Hey guys, my friend was telling me this but I don't know if I should be worried because she was telling me that TESU has a grad rate of 39%, it should tell you something. When I looked at my local uni, it was like 80-90%. But I also saw Uni of Phoenix was like 26%. But seeing you BJ and that person that went to TESU with $9K, I'm not worried about the numbers. I don't think it should be even a factor because there's people that goes to all types of school, small to big.

It doesn't matter what the graduation rate is, because it's not going to affect you - you will be transferring in AT THE END of the degree, and only doing the cornerstone and capstone; so you only need to worry about getting those done.

Also, many factors play into a graduation rate - some people may only be going to TESU to take a class or two, or they may not like the format (you're mostly on your own).  That doesn't mean it's not a good school, it just means that it may not be right for everyone.  But again, it does NOT matter when you're not going there to just take a couple of courses and graduate.  That's what I did.

A lot of mainly online colleges have low graduation rates because a lot of people can't handle going to school online. They take a few classes, then drop out.

When people drop out, it isn't because they fail. It is usually because they stopped turning in assignments for whatever reason. People sometimes drop out of WGU because they don't transfer in enough credits, then are shocked at the amount of work they have to do.

Nothing wrong with WGU, it's just not what I expected to be. When I was in their WGU Academy, all I needed was a C to pass. But, when I transferred to their University they required all classes to have B or higher. But when I asked my friends that in their classes at a their local uni, they said they only needed a C- to pass, you could even get a D I heard in some classes. But yeah, there was so many proctor exams and a lot of work, it was overwhelming...

I have like almost 60 creditz now, and I'm also working at Amazon where I could use the career choice benefit for TESU!

Here's the WIKI for the BALS and also BSBA, https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:TESU
You can decide on getting a concentration for the BALS and an AOS for the BSBA

Okay, thanks. I could still transfer 114 credits right?
