Request advice and answer to some questions on courses, credits - regarding TESU BSBA

[dfrecore]

First, that spreadsheet was mine, and someone customized it, but not in a good way.  They took out all of the flexibility, making it look like you can only take certain classes, and from certain places.  Use this one instead:

---

1) I have taken the the following courses:
TEEX Cybersecurity courses 101 (comes in as CAP-295, Free Elective) and 201 (comes in as CAP-385, Free Elective)
ALEKS: College ALgebra (comes in as MAT-121), Intm Alg (comes in as MAT-115), Biz Stats (comes in as STA-201), and (planning)Precalc/Trig (comes in as MAT-129) - but only courses that got completed before 8/31/17 are ACE-approved; this may change, if they get re-approved, but it's not looking good
Sophia: Developing Effective Team (comes in as HRM-299, can be used in AOS but it's only 1cr)

5) on TESU, the Gen Ed electives and the Free Electives seem to share the same HYPERlink. Does that mean that I can take any courses on (http://www2.tesu.edu/listall.php) to satisfy the two categories? No - Gen Eds does not include Business/Management courses, some computer courses, PE, Health, other things like that.  It includes the Humanities (art, religion, communication, etc.), Social Sciences (History, Psych, Economics, etc.), and Natural Sciences (at TESU it includes all science, and computer science).

6) If I am doing BSBA-GM, after study.com/schmoop/SL/DAVAR/saylor, I'm guessing there are still some courses left that will have to be TECEP. Not at all.
So the question is, what is TECEP actually? Is it like TESU's own online courses, similar to study/SL././? It's an exam.
Do they require enrollment to do TECEP? Yes (since I plan on only enrolling after at least having 90+ credits from other sources) Why?  I would apply and enroll sooner than that.

8) I attached a 2017 BSBA-GM excelsheet that came somewhere from DegreeForum.
From the TESU, my understanding is that for Area of study, what I need to do is take 4 courses(12 CREDITS) in UL from my specialization. Then ONE from EACH of 2 areas that is not my specialization, regardless UL or LL. (that's 6 credits). That would satisfy both the stated requirements from the site.
PLUS If you're doing General Management, then you don't have a specialization.  You need to take 18cr, 12 of them UL.  They have to cover 3 of the 4 areas (ACC, MAR, MAN, FIN).  You can cover all 4 areas if you want, but 3 are required.  The UL credits can be in any area(s).

Again, I apologize if any question has already been previously answered on the forum.
Forgive me

Thanks in advance!!!
Thank you guys so so much and thank the forum for providing everything I needed to kickstart my attempt at a Bachelor's degree!!!

I answered what I knew.

We used to have a good Beginner's Guide here that explained a lot, but I can no longer find it since we switched hosts.  It was long, and some info outdated, but it certainly taught a lot about the process.

There is a new Beginner's Guide, but it's short, and doesn't explain all of the things the old Beginner's Guide did, so I don't really recommend it like I used to.  Sorry, I'm not sure how else to explain it, but if you could find the old Guide, it would be very helpful to you.

The other thing you need to do: read this forum.  For like an hour a day for the next month.  Take a course or two while you're learning, but honestly, you need to just immerse yourself and learn, learn, learn.

Good luck.

Strange, I did 2 separate responses, and it combined it into a single one that is now totally funky. Not sure what happened there, but I don't know how to fix it either. Sorry.
