Degree plan for Communications?

[allvia]

I have a degree plan for TESU's BA in Communications; the only issue is I no longer know what will count for Communication Theory, nor do I know where you can find Mass Comm II (I have a guess in there).  So I'm guessing on those 2, and for Theory, I just threw in $1000 - you might find a course for less somewhere.

This degree is a bit more expensive than the BALS/BSBA degree there, but honestly, there are tons of ways to make it cheaper. Start with free and go from there; Insurance Ethics, Modern States/CLEP, TEEX, Sophia, NFA, OnlineDegree.com; then go inexpensive via ALEKS, Saylor, LL TECEP exams.  And finally do Study.com/SL courses, using coupons and doing multiple courses in a month to make your per-credit cost cheaper.

dfrecore, 
WOW... thank you so much!  You seriously just built the whole plan for me?  What more can I say?  I wish I could make you cookies or something to properly thank you!!  All I know is... you're the best & Karma is REAL!  ;-D

Also thanks for all the advice with the free options!  I hadn't thought to start with Free, study.com is what my sister started with and so that's what I planned to do as well... this way makes a lot of sense.  Thanks!  I was advised that Math with Aleks is one to start with since they have to renew contracts every year and don't guarantee that they will continue doing college credit or something... have you heard of this as well?  I don't see any math or statistics needed on the plan?

Another question?  I've been in contact with TESU and in order to talk to an academic advisor you 1st need to apply for $75 and become a student... but it appears that and according to the "basic approach outline" that it isn't advisable to apply and do this until you are finished?  Correct?  Here's my real question... why?  Is there a reason you don't apply now?  Are there additional yearly fees or something?  Remember, I'm clueless... sorry in advance if there is an obvious answer.

Thanks again!

Statistics is not needed for the BA in Communications. You need a college math, dfrecore put College Algebra on the plan sheet she made you (ALEKS works well for that, feel free to take more than one math such as statistics - they work in the Gen Eds Electives area).

I would not say wait to apply until you're at the end, but at least 1/2 way (and that is more for locking in a catalog, and that is 'safe' at least until next July which is when they tend to make changes for the academic year - if they make any changes at all).  Applying now keeps you as an active applicant for a year, to become enrolled (locks in catalog) you need to take credits through the school; such as the Cornerstone, Capstone or a TECEP exam - each locks you in for one year from the date.  In example if you know you're going to need at least 3 years for whatever reason(s) to finish - then you could take a TECEP shortly after applying (catalog locked), then in 11 months take the Cornerstone - locked in for another year, then 11 months later take the Capstone (or another TECEP if you need more time) to lock in another year, and so on and so on...
