Are you dead set on a TESU BSBA Marketing? Or are you looking for alternatives? If you have ACE/NCCRS credits that can be transferred, I would recommend going for a BLS or a BABA at UMPI if you have practically no commitments and many hours in a day to work on courses. Otherwise, paying by term may cost more than remaining at TESU. Another option is to see if the COSC option would be cheaper, easier, faster...
In any case, you should look at Sophia.org vs Saylor.org for your general education requirements, as they have sale by the end of this month at $40/month all you can take, 2 courses at a time, it's non-proctored and open book. I suggest investing in a second monitor to multi-task and find your answers in the provided course materials & PDFs. Good luck, have fun... decide on the degree/school and reply back...
If you're just looking for a BSBA without concentration, use Sophia.org for LL and Davar for UL. Sophia Link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List
If you want a snapshot of a degree plan, read this post and the link from Jan 2021, all the required course recommendations are there, take the exact courses as per the post - least amount of written assignments/essays. In other words, it's cheapest/easiest/fastest to select these courses over Study.com or another provider. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid336902
Note: My spreadsheet in the link is from Jan 2021, they made a change for electives, you have more "flexibility" for general education, instead of 6 credits free electives, you can now take 15 credits. Link: https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/Current/...nistration You should do a mix of both Sophia.org and Davar, skipping Study.com unless you need a course that is not offered at Davar or Sophia.org, from looking at the excel spreadsheet above, you can complete the remaining courses using these recommended providers. It's up to you though which provider to select from, here's a breakdown of what is required.
Davar for Upper Level: They use Powerpoint presentations or slides, you just go through the entire package of materials they give you and test on that, there are no textbooks you need, even though some courses they recommend you go through a textbook, everything is on 1 test - just pass this test with a 70% or higher and you're done, some have short answer questions also, just 3-4 sentences in addition to the multiple choice and the exam is completed. For business courses, it's $99 for 2, and $15/each exam proctor with RPnow, So select RPNow as proctor!
Sophia.org for Lower Level: They use biometric technology for proctoring, no webcam use. Everything is open book, it's pretty similar to SL/Study.com, you need 70% to pass, each course basically is quizzes, exams, and assignments (if the course has assignments). I highly recommend them now for Lower Level, bypassing StraighterLine altogether. Sophia is $79/month, unlimited courses; however, you can only take 2 courses at a time, if you finish quickly, keep adding courses!
