Hi folks! I need help really mapping out the rest of my Associates Degree in Business. After reading multiple threads, and looking at other folk's questions, I've come to determine that it would behoove me to at least *ask* for an outside perspective on my Degree plan. :-)
My basic questions revolve around the following: What classes do I take to finish? And which school is cheaper between Excelsior and TESU? (I know the *general* answers to those questions, but, on the advice of another forum member, I perhaps should go deeper if I'm really serious about this, and I am.)
TL;DR: 1. where can I get a quick and cheap Natural Science class? 2. Where can I get Business Communications, Intro to Business Law, Principles of Marketing, cheaply and quickly? I hear SL's Business Law class is a pain, is the CLEP version better? 3. Is TOR College credits still the cheapest place to get the Information Lit class?
Full Questions/Disclosure:
I am currently enrolled in Excelsior College (via POAG) but considering finishing with TESU depending upon ease and speed, not cost (though cost is a consideration if Excelsior's price become unreasonable. Unreasonable to me is $750 or more)
I have the current Credits:
Community College:
3cr College Success Skills
3cr General Psychology
4.5cr Spanish 1
3cr English 101
4cr Accounting 1
4cr Accounting 2
3cr Computer Skills (the computer class all degrees seem to ask for)
The Institutes:
2cr Ethics
Sophia:
3cr Project Mangement
Straighterline:
3cr Principles of Management
3cr Survery of World History
3cr MacroEconomics
3cr MicroEconomics
Total: 35.5
Need: 24.5 (Approximately 8 classes)
Current Degree Requirements Left/Needed: Excelsior
Natural Science and Math: PreCalculus or Calculus, Statistics and one Course in Natural Science
First detailed question - I plan to use Aleks for PreCalc and Statistics. But where can I get a quick Natural Science class?
Business Component: Business Communications, Intro to Business Law, Principles of Marketing, Capstone
Second detailed question - Where can I take the above classes cheaply and quickly? I hear SL's Business Law class is a pain, is the CLEP version better?
Additional Credit Component: Any Collegiate Level Study, Includes Information Lit, 6cr total
Here, I plan to use College Success Skills and the Project Management Course for the majority, but for Information Literacy, I plan to use TOR College credits. Is TOR still the cheapest?
Thank you for your help!
