Study.com alternatives for TECEP Advertising and Marketing Communications?

[dfrecore]

Sorry, I’m a little confused. Should I send an email to TESU asking which of those Study.com courses they accept? Because I’m trying to do more Study.com courses, not less.

I have sent an email to TESU’s Academic Advsing email asking what Study.com courses would fill the spots the Advertising TECEP and the Marketing Communications TECEP currently have on my degree plan. Though I’ve never emailed them before, so we’ll see how that goes,

You definitely do NOT ask which courses will fill the spots.  They will NOT be helpful.  You have to be very specific with TESU and ask questions in a certain way, or they won't answer them correctly.

Instead, just send the list and ask for course equivalencies, and if they will work in the Marketing AOS.

Okay, I just sent them a new email.

Here’s their reply:

“Only four of the Study.com courses listed in your message are acceptable in transfer and will apply to the Marketing area of study, if you change your degree to the BSBA in Marketing. Currently, your active degree is the BSBA in General Management.

The others cannot be accepted because they aren't listed on the Study.com Transfer Guide: https://study.com/directory/school/Thoma...ransferTab

The following are approved:
Business 309 Digital Marketing & Advertising
Marketing 301 Marketing Research
Marketing 308 Applied Marketing
Hospitality 301 Hospitality Marketing”

I am getting SO tired of this reply.  TESU will take any course that's ACE or NCCRS approved, they just haven't evaluated all of Study.com's courses because some are new.

I would ask again.  They will DEFINITELY take them, but it's just a matter of where you can bring them in.

If academic advising won't give you an answer, it might be good to ask another department, or escalate this.  It's at the point where someone needs to take this up to a dean or something, because the answer they give here is completely incorrect.
