Degree Plan Advice - Can I finish in a year? Without starving to death?

Just a quick point, if the student is planning to actually work in analytics after graduation. They're typically going to need solid Excel skills, and experience with statistical software. For a general degree, any intro stats course will do, but if you're going into analytics, you will be well served by taking a stats class that actually uses the stats package(s).

I was saying that the OP should take the cheap Intro to Stats course while still deciding whether or not to do the BSBA or the BA in DA. For the DA degree, you need to take the course from Statistics.com, but I would wait to pay $500 until he/she knew for sure that that's what they wanted to major in.
