An International Student

[scoriae]

Greetings bjcheung77!

I'm currently in South Korea working within a branch of the Korean Government as an Administrator. Unfortunately, the lack of a degree has limited my upwards mobility, given that my position normally required a Bachelor Degree. I attended Niagara College Canada.

1. I was looking at TESU's BSBA Program, preferably towards finances or accounting if they could have been completed online.
2. TESU does not seem to accept Canadian transcripts directly, which means I would need to go through a translation service. Unfortunately, as they also need copies of my actual diploma/degree, this limits my options as I no longer maintain contact with people back home who could do this for me in a timely manner (I've been out of the country for years). To that end, I am looking to (regretfully) start this fresh from scratch.
3. I am looking to do that now!
4. I've started the free ethics course to get a taste of what this will be like.

If I can go with Athabasca, it would be the ideal option. I looked at the transfer credit aspect, and unfortunately it seems as though less than the ideal amount might be accepted towards the 3 year degree.

I'm going to answer your questions with... questions! What are you doing in South Korea? Which Canadian College did you attend?
TESU is great! It won't really matter which of the Big 3 or Competency Based Programs you choose, they require 120 credits total.

I recommend the following: 1) Find the program you're looking for, example, BALS or BSBA General Management.
2) Apply and send in all transcripts to the school of choice, I would recommend also sending it to Athabasca and WGU as well.
3) Wait for an evaluation, while waiting, create a spreadsheet of required and "completed courses".
4) If you know what you need to take, and know those requirements can be met by online courses, take them while waiting.

My suggestion is to go with Athabasca as your 3 year diploma can be transferred into their 3 year BGS (Bach General Studies)
They may only require a few more courses from your Canadian College or another online college for that degree.
