Charter Oak State College - New Degree in B.S. Business Administration

[ajs1976]

According to sanantone, you have 12 months to retake a failed CSU exam for free. That gives them a lot of value for the money paid, as opposed to another form of testing. If COSC accepts them (I'd be surprised if they didn't) then they should all be in the general category of "Business credits". Considering the various Financial, Managerial, and Principles of Accounting exams are listed on the Master Exam List as Business credits. This is all just a hypothesis until I get a confirmation Monday, but I think the logic is sound.

There is no accounting minor or concentration at COSC. I was wondering aloud if, because this way you would have as many credits as a typical minor, if it would be alright to say you had a minor or focus even if the school did not have such a classification. Not to be dishonest, but to highlight the number of credits earned.



I appreciate someone in HRs input on this. I may have phrased it poorly, but I just would want to highlight the fact that my BSBA has more accounting credits than, say, a BSBA in General Management. Since COSC doesn't offer the minor or concentration, what would be the best way to let that fact be known? Am I limited to writing on an application or stating in an interview "My degree contains 18 accounting credits"? If so, then I might be better off just getting the BSBA Accounting from TESC, since the CSU exams make it half as expensive as it was before when everyone was using LSU credits. That was a big obstacle for me deciding to take that route.

We were posting at the same time.

I'm also intrigued by some of the CSU exams and the retake policy helps minimize some of the risk.

I'm not in HR. I'm a hiring manager that had to go through about 200 resumes in the last year.
