(01-27-2020, 02:27 PM)dfrecore, so is the General Management a smattering of different areas that are equally time consuming as Marketing or Entrepreneurship? I would probably prefer marketing or entrepreneurship if they were about the same in terms of time. Marketing is actually the area I am in.The 7k is higher than i thought but not so bad since its done over time . Does TESU have a better or higher standing with corporate employers than COSC? Curious everyone\s experience has been on this issue. I just now went to COSC's website and they seem to be focused only on online.... wondering if anyone has experienced discrimination by an HR department quickly making assumptions that the school is somehow lesser than a brick and morter that offers both traditional campus and online?

None of the concentrations are more/less "easy." General management was harder for me, because it's not about "management" but really a smattering of different areas, most of which I had no interest in. I didn't care about Finance, didn't want to take more accounting courses, and was not excited about marketing, and you need to cover 3 out of the 4 areas. Instead, I went with HR, which I thought was "easy" in that I already had some UL HR courses. I would always suggest a concentration if you have the opportunity and like that area.
The ones that can be completed completely via alternative credit:
Accounting
CIS
Entrepreneurship
HR/OM
Marketing
-----------------------
If the Harvard courses are worth college credit, then you can certainly use them towards a BSBA/MAR degree. I'm not sure if there's a max, but I know they will take Grad credits towards a BA.
-----------------------
The Project Management cert won't work - but it will at COSC. You can get a BSBA/PM degree there that might be worth doing. The PMP counts as 9cr of UL coursework there, and fulfills the entire concentration I think. So it's worth looking at. And it's $2k less at COSC than TESU, and I think it's just as easy to get a degree there as TESU.

Unless you want a slightly easier/faster ACBSP Accredited BSBA with lesser upper level requirements, I would use the extra cash you save to go for a MBA at WGU instead.
Basically, I would start with the FREE credits and ALEKS, Sophia, TEEX, Onlinedegree.com, and so on... Review my signature links and posts #28/31 for a spreadsheet. Also read this post of mine here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid302447
Thanks bjcheung77. You mentioned "Unless you want a slightly easier/faster ACBSP Accredited BSBA with lesser upper level requirements, I would use the extra cash you save to go for a MBA at WGU instead." Just to clarify, are you saying TESU is slightly easier/faster than COSC but higher in cost than COSC?
