Daughter's BSBA TESU program - degree plan added

[Merlin]

My daughter is currently working on an AA in general business at a California CC.  We have qualified for a fee waiver, so have only had to pay $23 per semester in fees and had to buy her books and parking permit of $20 a semester.  We are going to have her do a second AA in business which is a transfer degree.  The one she is working on now has some non-transferable courses which are job/skill-related.  Anyhow, she will end up with 80 transferable semester units from both degrees.  She is young and I believe that she is benefitting from attending in-person classes because she went to a public charter school which was mostly homeschooling for high school.  Also, the fee waiver we have qualified for has made her attending CC an affordable option.

I know that she can transfer 80 units from a CC to TESU.  Can she take the Institutes 2 credit ethics class, 3 CLEPS, another 1 unit free Sophia class, 24 units in Study.com UL/UD business classes, and then finish up with the 1 unit cornerstone and 3 unit capstone at TESU to earn her degree?

80   CC including all GE except 3 units in lit (CLEP - see below) and all business pre-requisites except Intro to mgmt. and and Intro to marketing (CLEP)
 9    CLEP Anal. & Int. of Lit, Intro. to Mgmt, Intro. to Marketing
 2    Institutes Ethics course
 1    Sophia free courses
24    Study.com  UD/UL business for gen. management emphasis
  4   TESU - 1 unit cornerstone and 3 unit capstone

120 units total

I can post a longer more detailed program, but does this sort of combination work at TESU for completing a degree?

As long as you know what program you're aiming for ahead of time (sounds like you're aiming for the TESU BS in Business Administration/General Management) so you can pick the right CC courses to fill the gaps, it should work. There is always the possibility that the CC courses might not transfer the way you expect though.

For the TESU BSBA degree, you'll need

• 60 credits in Gen Ed (which will include the A&I Lit and Ethics course, plus cornerstone),
  
• 36 credits in professional business courses (which include the Intro to Management, Intro to Marketing and Capstone),
  
• 18 credits in your area of study with 12cr in UL courses (broken down by which concentration you take), and
  
• 6 credits are electives that can be anything you like as long as its college credit.
  

It sounds like you already have a good idea of what you are planning to do, but I'm sure someone here, like dfrecore, can help you finalize a proper plan... just keep in mind that the TESU catalog changes every year so the plan requirements can and do change.
