Hi,
I am 43 and have tried and failed at multiple attempts at finishing my undergrad. How I found this forum will take too long to type and no one wants to hear it, but I am here and super excited.hilarious
My goal is to finish a BSBA in Finance at TESU. I am not giving myself some crazy time frame, because I have done this in the past and failed. I figure if it takes less time than going to regular classes I will be happy. Obviously, sooner is better than later.
I did a lot of research and came up with a general game plan on how to proceed. I have 30 credits from previous schools (haven't applied to TESU yet). I also have my FINRA Series 6, 7, 63 and 65 registrations. I am currently completing The American College's ChFC designation. This will count for an additional 15 credits. I am unsure how the FINRA and American College credits will be applied towards the degree. I spoke to TESU and was informed, after I apply, I will be assigned an academic advisor that will assist with this information.
TESU ChFC Designation Credits
TESU FINRA Registration Credits
Given I still have a ton of General Education credits that need to be completed, I figure I will just continue with the ChFC and one regular college course at the same time. Currently, I am scheduled for the first module of the ChFC next Saturday @ Pearson and enrolled in ALEKS today for College Algebra (oh Joy!) I will apply/enroll when I have more classes under my belt.
I was able to find a link at TESU (through this forum), that allowed me to see where to find certain courses that will fulfill the requirements for the general education. I have attached my starting point spreadsheet. ACP ID and Provider come directly from TESU's website. Anywhere you see blanks, I was unable to figure out what or where to go. The second tab has my current credits and credits from FINRA as well as expected credits from completing the ChFC designation.
TESU Alternative Credit Project
I am also confused about the providers listed on their website. Does this mean, you have to take the courses there? For example, College Algebra lists four places to go (JumpCourse, Saylor, StraighterLine, and Pearson). Does this mean I can't use ALEKS? I hope not given I have already started.
Not sure if anyone cares to comment, but I could use some help on understanding where you find the specific courses that will satisfy the Area of Study Courses and the potential to take them online through one of the various channels. I am also unsure how many courses you have to take from TESU in order to get a degree from them.
Anyway, thanks for the motivation and I hope everyone here completes their educational dreams whatever they may be.
Sincerely,
DIGDAG
