Hello, Hi and Howdy from lurker to first time poster,
I decided to go back to school to obtain my degree and enrolled full time at Oregon State University. During some research on a random subject I stumbled on/discovered this site. Now it has me rethinking my entire original plan and I'm wishing I found this before I wrote a couple hefty checks to OSU.
With all that said, I'm going to continue to read and learn, I have been through the Wika and I "think" I have a fairly good idea of a path....
Think being the optimal word there. So, I'm here hoping that one of you "been there, done that" experts could help me create a plan and possibly answer a couple questions for me. My hope is to do this right this time and not just jump in head first like I did when I decided to enroll at OSU.
1. Do I have to enroll in either Thomas or Charter before I start taking Aleks/Clep/Dantes ect? I saw where you pay the $75 to see how what credits you have will transfer, however I then also saw a note where it said you can come here (to this forum) and get the same help. This is what I'm attempting today. I "believe" the answer is no, get your plan and then push like crazy to get through them until the end and there is a couple classes you HAVE to take at either school.
My long term plan is an MBA in Organizational Industrial Psychology. So with that said I'm going to copy past my "unofficial transcripts" here in the hopes that one of you fine people can help me with a plan. I "think" I can get into an appropriate MBA program with either a generic BS/BA, BS General Management or Psychology Degree. I would have interest in any of those 3 undergrad degree's. I'm hoping for you insight into which rabbit would be better for me to travel down.
Here we go:
Portland Community College back in the 90's (OSU accepted xfer)
BA 230 BUSINESS LAW I "C"
3.000
ELEC LDT INTRO CRIM JUSTICE SYS: COURTS "A"
3.000
HST 202 *HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES "B"
3.000
ACE Awarded credits from the military:
ELEC LDT LOWER DIVISION MILITARY CREDIT "P"
5.000
HHS 241 *LIFETIME FITNESS P
1.000
Central Oregon Community College in the 90's (OSU accepted)
BA LDT PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING "B-"
3.000
BA LDT BUSINESS ECONOMICS "C+"
2.000
BA LDT INTRO TO BUSINESS "B-"
3.000
COMM 111 *PUBLIC SPEAKING "A-"
3.000
ELEC LDT INTRO LAW ENFORCEMENT "D"
3.000
My current course load from OSU, I will pass all of these classes.
*MUSIC APPRECIATION I: SURVEY MUS 101 (3)
*GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY PSY 201 (3)
PRINCIPLES OF STATISTICS ST 201 (3)
*ENGLISH COMPOSITION WR 121 (3)
The reason for the randomness of the community college credits is I had no idea of what major I was even beginning to think about back them. Also, as a GED holder I just needed to complete 26 credit hours so that the ARMY would allow me to enlist as a high school graduate.
So that is where I stand, I will be completed with Summer term in late August, however I would like to get a head start on a degree track with Charter or Thomas with eventual lead into an MBA program for Organization Industrial Psychology.
Thoughts, comments, concerns and alibi fires are all ok.
I do truly appreciate any and all help any of you can provide me.
Thanks again,
Andrew
