I'm lost! TESU accepted 43 of my 60 credits but only 22 apply to BSBA

davewill Wrote:It's common that asking TESU what alternative credit to take gets you no answer. You always have to come at it from the other direction and ask them what a particular test or course will come in as. That's part of why this forum does such a booming business.

Yes - the CLEP equivalencies haven't changed for years (except when CLEP actually made changes to their exams, or ACE downgraded recommendations - but that isn't a TESU issue). But many people at TESU don't know a CLEP from a hole in their head. Instead, you have to figure out what CLEP exams (or other exams/course) you want to take for a particular requirement or area, and then ask specifically "does XXX course/exam fulfill the YYY requirement?" They will be able to answer that easily.

BTW - they list the equivalencies for CLEP, DSST, & ACP courses/exams on the website. And they have an agreement with SL, and SL has it on their website. So no, it doesn't change "with little to no notice" - it doesn't change at all for years and years at a stretch!

On the other hand, many of us on this forum have taken all of the CLEP/DSST/SL/Saylor/ALEKS, etc. courses/exams, and we know the equivalencies. I have a huge Excel spreadsheet that lists them. I know every course you can take for a BSBA, at any of a number of places, almost all by heart.

And just so you know, TESU is famous (on here at least) for having no clue what they're talking about on a regular basis. So, don't believe everything you hear from them. Come back on here to clarify or question anything you hear. And, I would personally tell you to get everything in writing from them.

Not that they don't have a decent program, I'm not saying that you shouldn't use them (I certainly am), but advising isn't great, and the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing. But it's still worth getting a degree there.
