In the Bachelor of Mktg Mgmt at WGU for her, I had planned on her being able to complete all (if not most or else use Study.com/SL/Khan Academy...cheap/free credit for rest of GL/business core classes) the remaining 78 credit hours (26 classes) using free CLEP tests from Modern States and the free voucher.
I only observed about 4-5 classes if that many she could not do through CLEP?
For the Marketing Management degree, here are the courses that she cannot do via CLEP:
Critical Thinking
Comm/Speech
Stats
Business Ethics
Org Behavior
Business Comm
Intro to Business
Managerial Acct
Info Sys Mgmt
Prin of Finance
Marketing Apps
Quant Analysis
Int'l Business
Project Mgmt
HRM
Employment Law
This doesn't count the courses that they won't allow to be brought in:
Ops Mgmt/Supply Chain
Business Strategy
Marketing Mgmt Concepts
Marketing Mgmt Tasks
Capstone
Spreadsheets
For the courses that cannot be completed this plan via CLEP, do you recommend Saylor.com or Study.com? I have heard that Saylor courses may be difficult to get through and I was wondering how they compare with Study.com? The Saylor courses are free, but, would cost $25 for the Proctor exam and then transfer all of them to WGU after applying? It looks like the cost for Saylor is vastly cheaper at free course + $25 Proctor fee vs. $100 cost for 1 course ($200 mo membership with Study.com and customer is entitled to take 2 courses per month)? Can you "jump ahead" in Saylor courses if you are familiar with the material and how hard are they complete in a timely manner? A little higher cost for the class might be justified for an easier way to get credit for the courses.
Can anyone recommend sources for the following credits as opposed to just taking the credit at WGU (i.e. CLEP/DSST)?
Critical Thinking and Logic
Marketing Applications
Also, I am attaching a sample degree on the attached degree plan spreadsheet. See the WGU BSBA worksheet. Also, can you all please confirm the tuition cost? The initial tuition is $3370 per semester and I would want her to finish successfully so I am adding about $500-600 for Study.com, etc. costs.
