Second Guessing Degree Plan

[dfrecore]

I just start, with the end in mind, but with some flexibility built in. I take courses/exams that will apply to the degree that I think I want, but also to other degrees. I keep reassessing as I go and as I learn new info.

For instance, I really wanted a BSBA from TESC in HR, but I didn't want to pay a lot more than just the General Management degree. I had all of the HR courses I needed except 1. Suddenly, my local CC started offering the course I needed, and in an 8-wk format (rather than 16). I jumped on it!

For you, if you know that Liberty will accept all of those ALEKS courses, and that TESC/EC/COSC will accept several of them, I would just get started and do all of them. Knock them out 1-by-1 until that ACE transcript is looking good! Then, start on the next thing that you can transfer to both. As many courses as you can that way. Find out what Liberty will accept and then go for it.

At some point down the road, you will either see that it's faster/cheaper/easier to get a degree at one of the Big 3 and you will revise your plan, or you can decide that your goal hasn't changed and you want to stick to the original plan.

The good news is that nothing you decide now is set in stone. You always get to change your mind based on the best info you have at the time. Just don't get so bogged down in the details that you don't START!
