Help to decide on TESU BSBA in Management OR Marketing

Having experience in Marketing you may want to choose the Marketing option. TESU has plenty of marketing TECEP exams to quickly help complete the area of study (aka AOS/Specialization). Thomas Edison State University | All TECEPÂ Tests

Search Degreeforum member Mednat, he completed a dual BSBA, Marketing & CIS. His plan may even be on the DF Wiki site, not sure.

My plan is not on the Wiki, but i would be happy to share it. I was mostly interested in the CIS degree, but after reviewing the TECEPs I intended to take (based on what I assumed to be the easiest TECEPS) I determined it would only take a couple of extra PennFoster classes to add in a Marketing concentration.

I found the marketing concentration to be a simple degree to test out of and it provides a little added marketability to my resume. If i apply for a non-marketing position I can just list the degree as Bachelors of Science in Business Administration. If the role has anything to do with marketing/sales/etc, I can mention the concentration. The general business concentration lacks this flexibility and the requirement for diversification adds more hassle to obtaining the degree.

I see very little benefit to getting the general business degree over marketing if you have experience in the marketing area. If you want to break out of marketing and appear more 'rounded', just don't list the concentration on your resume.
