Changing from TESU to COSC? New Plan

[dfrecore]

In looking at making a switch, you have to do a bunch of things:

1) You need a lab science (so you can do a Nutrition lab at Rio Salado, 1 cr for $250+lab or a bio lab from somewhere

2) I'm unclear for the major if the "45 credits required" includes the 3 pre-reqs or not, their degree plans are harder to figure out - if so, then you just need BUS 101: Principles of Management, BUS 303: Management Info Systems, and FIN 104: Financial Management (Sophia's website doesn't list their Prin of Finance as meeting this requirement, nor does the IT course meet the MIS requirement, nor does SL's; and SL's Prin of Management doesn't show as meeting that requirement)

3) If you need 3 add'l courses, then you'll have to figure some out, the ones you have listed on your sheet wont' work

4) It's unclear how many courses in the major have to be UL, there are 3 there, all electives, which is great. Not sure if that's enough.

5) You need 6 additional UL courses, you'll have to check the Study.com site to see which ones will work as UL at COSC, as well as figure out how many need to be business electives, and how many need to be GE-area courses.

If you're just looking at price, TESU is $6654 and COSC is $3181 (2 terms), the difference being $3473, and you can easily get the remaining courses for less than that, so COSC will be cheaper, but TESU will be easier. Totally up to you on what you prioritize. I'd probably apply to COSC, get an eval, and see if the SL/Sophia courses come in and make things any easier). You can also ask all of your questions then as well to make an informed decision.
