Need help with constructing a full path to B.A in Psychology - TESU.

[dfrecore]

Here's how the plan is looking so far, looking for more inputs and options, and while giving your recommendations, I want the online course options, no test center, I have no access to any and one more question, what options are available to funding and supporting this once one gets low on funds, because I want to get straight into MBA after I'm done with the TESU BSBA.

I've attached a copy of my plan, how it's looking right now after streamlining some options available to my preferred course and source for credit.

There are no funding options for these that I know of, unless your company has tuition reimbursement, or you can get financial aid that includes taking some courses at a CC and using the rest of the money to fund the courses.

You also have some things incorrect on your spreadsheet:
1) Shmoop is only $85/mo, and you can take unlimited courses there, so it's not averaging $100 per course like SL or Study.com
2) TEEX courses are only 2cr each. You didn't list the 3rd course, so you should add it to Free Electives
3) Saylor Psychology course is only 2cr


Here are some ways to make it cheaper:

1) Utilize ALL methods of getting free courses: TEEX, NFA, The Institutes

2) Utilize ALEKS math for 12cr - but you'd have to do that NOW! So far, it looks like the recommendation for credit expires 1/31, so you'd have to take and pass all courses by then. If you've already taken College Algebra, Stats & Precalc (can't tell on your spreadsheet), then you need to take Intermediate Algebra immediately!

3) Take as many Saylor courses as possible. The price is only $25 per exam.

4) Utilize Shmoop if you can fit at least 2 courses into your plan. If not, it may be cheaper to use SL or Study.com

5) If you use SL or Study.com, do as many courses as you can in a single month. SL especially. The only downside to SL is that you have to buy the books, and that may make the courses out of range price-wise. Study.com may be a better bet if you're low on funds.

6) Use coupons - both Study.com and SL have them

7) Try for the scholarship on Study.com if you can, you will get 6 free courses on there.

8) PLAN, PLAN, PLAN everything before you start working it. You do not want to get partway through a month on membership fees, and not have time to complete your class because work is crazy or your kid's soccer season has started in earnest. Plan something with membership fees or deadlines for a downtime where you can devote a ton of time to completing courses, even if it's only a single month. For instance, my daughter now goes to school 2 days a week. I could spend 8 hours while she's gone doing schoolwork if I really wanted to. But come summer, both kids are home all day. And in the fall, I have no idea what her school schedule will be (she's in a special homeschooling program at her high school and last semester she was only at school 3 hours a week).

Good luck!
