First post! Please critique my TESU BSBA GM plan!

Ok, I can't read your degree plan even on my giant 27" screen, it's too small.  But I'll answer questions.

1) Saylor is still available, only Shmoop is not

2) Study.com discounts are still available, just different amounts now ($2200 for the Residency Waiver, still $1098 for the capstone, and the cornerstone isn't available to skip unless you bring in 104cr, so you may have to plan on paying $300 for that course).

3) You can do a GM and Marketing concentration, but really, there's not much point to that - I'd just do the Marketing.  Cheaper, fewer courses to take, and it's a better concentration than General Management if that's what you want to do (any specific major is better than GM, although there's nothing wrong with GM).

4) Here's where everything should go:
College Algebra can be used in the Quantitative Lit area
Stats will be used in the Mathematics area
AP Psych can go in Knowledge of Human Cultures
AP English Lit - not sure if that will fulfill the Written Comm area, since TESU doesn't publicize their AP credit policy and it's been a while since anyone posted on that (so let us know where those go)
MS Word, Excel & Access - Free Elective
Med Terminology & Speech - Free Elective
Phlebotomy courses - 6cr in Free Electives (so you're over in that area at this point, and these will go to "Other courses")

Using CLEP/Modern States, you could get almost all of your gen ed's done, and 7 out of 12 of your GM Core.  Add the free Sophia and Insurance Ethics courses, and your Gen ed will costs a max of $100 going forward (you need that speech course, I would probably suggest the Technical Comm TECEP for $75 or an add-on for a month of Study.com for $70 as your 3rd course in a month).

Saylor will get your your Managerial Accounting, Principles of Finance & Corporate Communications for $25 each.  Sign up for Study.com to get 6 more courses-your 5 Marketing courses, plus International Business (you could choose to do the Speech course through them instead of the TECEP).  You just need 1 final Marketing course - you could do a TECEP for $225 (UL TECEP's are priced higher than LL now), or a CSU-Global CBE for $250 (I might choose this because they have more options).

Finally, take the cornerstone & capstone, apply to graduate, pay the RW,  and you're done.  The entire remaining degree for $4598.  You have at least a year to save up, and if you were able to work somewhere where they'd give you tuition reimbursement, then they would pay $300 for the cornerstone and $1098 for the capstone, so you'd be down to $3200 (I'm assuming they won't pay the residency waiver, but have no idea if they will or not - if they did, you'd be down to only $1000 out of pocket).

If you are looking at companies that will pay Tuition Reimbursement, you may want to look at ones that will let you go anywhere.  Ones that have deals with specific schools won't be helpful in this case, although you could opt to take some courses instead of using ACE.  But that's up to you.  It would take longer, but at your young age and with less work experience under your belt, taking some courses, especially in the major, would be an awesome perk of your job, and be helpful to you).  The one thing you don't want to do is get sucked in and be required to enroll in that school, and have them force you to take your gen eds or something from them - you ONLY want to take UL major courses if possible.
