If you mean international studies, that can't be fully tested out of. General management or CIS could work. With CIS, yes you'd have to actually learn a programming language well enough to pass a test in it. You could do Python if you wanted; Study.com has Python as an option. General management might be the best option for you, if you're not too interested in programing languages.
The best thing to do to begin would be to go sign up for Sophia.org. It's only $79/mo. and you can take as many of their classes as you are able to during that period. They have several business essentials like one of the accounting classes, business law, macro/microeconomics, and so on. Check out https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List to see what transfers to TESU and what does not. Once you've completed Sophia, you'll be done with most of your general education requirements (and some AOS requirements) and can figure out where to go from there.
I think they do have international business, correct me if I'm wrong? https://www.tesu.edu/business/bsba/inter...l-business
If the above is correct does that change anything from your original statement? Not being able to test out,etc.
Also how does Study.com/sophia.org and maybe other sites that are similar work in terms of getting credit? Do you take a class and you just get credit? or do you have to take a test through tesu? or can you take a CLEP or DSST or some other similar exam? So specifically for Python would I have to study a class on study.com and then where do I go from there to get the credit? I don't quite understand how that works... sorry I never thought I would be trying to get a degree bc I don't like the traditional method but now I see this route and I would much rather study on my own and take exams to test my way through as much as possible. Also I have been interested in python in the past but I don't really want it to slow me down or make it more difficult finish. I am interested in the networking/cybersecurity and business realm of things but I want the degree to be able to teach english overseas. BUT if after a couple of years I decide its not for me I can always fall back on the degree in said area of interest.
thanks again
