Fresh Start on BSBA Finance. How do I strategize for future?

[singhrr]

Hey guys,

So I have a few questions as I begin this journey. I am pursuing a BSBA in Finance at TESU with zero credits that are transferrable. I also have a $5,000 Tuition reimbursement from my job that I want to make use of this year.

1. I am looking to move fast on this. I have seen another post where someone finished in under 6 months, however this was a BSBA in General Management. Is it possible to do the same with Finance?

2. I will be trying to max my test out credits, so with that being said, what is the best option for tuition with my urgency (and passion) in mind? Should I do as much credits as possible before I enroll?

3. Most importantly, I want to pursue a Masters or Ph.D in Economics. I'm not sure if getting the Finance degree would give me a heads up vs. General Management, but I expect there will be some coursework that I will need to do to catch up to the program. My logic is, get the BSBA done ASAP with good marks, do substantial credits not just "easy" fillers and then get into a Graduate program and take it from there. What do you guys think is the best approach to this?

Appreciate any feedback, thanks!
