When to send transcripts from Sophia or SDC to TESU

[allvia]

Okay, this is how new I am at this. What does AOS mean?
I am paying for this on my own. Which is why I am trying to go the Sophia and SDC route. What are you referring to by the 16 credits? I thought you could transfer in all but 6 courses???

I'll have to figure out the cut and paste since the TESU website for the evaluation is too big. But here are a couple of snapshots...


BSBA in Accounting (BSBA.ACC1)
Catalog Year:2018

Program Requirements:
1: BSBA General Education (60 SH) (In progress)
SH Earned: 53

J: Capstone 3 SH (Pending completion of unfinished activity)
*This Capstone course must be taken with Thomas Edison State University or via an approved Thomas Edison State University Academic Program Review.
For TESU course options, go to BUS-421 Business Administration Capstone

If your goal when you're done is to be an Accountant then the BSBA in Accounting is what you want. If you're goal is a 'check box' for a degree in business then the BSBA-General Management is ideal.  The Accounting AOS is the only concentration where you graduate 'as something'; no you're not a CPA, but you do graduate with an accounting degree - making you an entry level accountant (assuming you have no accounting experience to make you more advanced).

Also I know you're not an SL fan but keep in mind that they do have one UL Accounting for TESU
SL's Managerial Accounting - ACC150 = TESU's Cost Accounting - ACC-303*
*This is a prime example of currently transfers in as UL, but not evaluated by ACE as UL so subject to change by TESU. However, once TESU gives you credit for something like this as UL, even if they later downgrade it to LL you get to keep your UL transfer credit.

I would recommend you take the medical terminology TECEP, make yourself active (note although you should try to pass for the 1 credit, passing is not required for becoming/keeping an active student status, nor does it impact your GPA.).  There is a recommended YouTube series somewhere posted on this forum that has been suggested as a great study tool for the exam.
