TESU BSBA Degree plan review

[natshar]

Known sources of free credit:

3 credits from sophia (3 1 credit courses) 
3 credits from Institutes
10 credits from TEEX
All cleps are free with modern states if you have access to center this might be a good option.

Saylor although cheap isn't recommend much here because the courses aren’t good and exams are difficult. Try it and see how you do.

If you transfer everything to WGU. Then you would need to average one course every 2-3 weeks to graduate in one term.

With wgu you can only get wgu specfic scholarship. The easiest one is the straighterline which is only take 4 straighterline courses and transfer them. You can combine this with any outside aid you get as well.

They also now have wgu Academy. I know someone else who used can speak to this but it is like straighterline but through Wgu and cheaper.

I can't recommend CSM enough. It's only $39 and I think it meets the math requirement at WGU. Do this course no matter what school you choose.

Say somehow you did all your credits for free.

The cheapest you could do at TESU is around 5200.

Say somehow you also did 90 credits for free abd transfered those to WGU. The cheapest you could do is around 3200. Of course that is before any scholarships.

Awesome, I'll look into getting all the free credits mentioned! 16 credits is a nice start for sure and there are a couple CLEP centers nearby so that's helpful.

I might skip on Saylor then and go for one's that are less stressful to have on top of work.

Ah good to know on the scholarship, with the savings of $3200 instead of $5200 and the StraighterLine or back to school scholarships that isn't as big of a deal. 

I'll read up on WGU Academy as well.

What is CSM?

And if I can do 90 free credits, I will do 90 free credits lol

Since it's been a while since I was originally done this I've forgotten quite a bit of the process :| Would I want to apply to WGU after getting all the credit done, or apply now (they have the application fee waived at the moment) and work with enrollment to come up with a course plan/lock in the curriculum for the term?

If you want to you can at least try Saylor and see how you like it. It's free to browse the materials and $25 for the exam. They have free non credit courses on easy stuff so did the finals on those and failed. Too many tricky questions, that way I was able to see it didn't work for me. So you can get a glimpse of it without spending much money or time at all. Who knows you might like Saylor, you never know unless you try. 

The scholarships are a big deal, but you can only use one of the WGU ones. So the straighterline would be $500/term. So it would bring it down to 2775. But if you got pell grant or other scholarships through work or local it would be even less. But I forgot in my calculations to include the $145 book fee WGU so add that in.

CSM is an amazing math course worth 3 credits and only $39 just take it. https://www.csmlearn.com/product/course

I'm not sure if you can all 90 credits free. (that might be a post for another thread.)

They also have marketing and HR if you'd prefer that.

If you match it with similar cleps, courses, etc you should be good. Maybe start another thread for this??
