BSBA TESU - Help Please :)

[Stustu]

I would stick with TESU since you only have to do one course there and you said was free to go there. 

Graduation deadlines (Need 100 credits to enroll in capstone)

You will finish the 3-month TESU term by Aug 1st and that's the deadline all your courses should be transferred in as well.

Questions for you amazing people:
1. Are the classes I have planned out to finish my degree the fastest way possible? Any other classes that would be faster/easier (I understand easier is relative). I just started my SDC $200 month this week. So I still have three weeks left to finish those other 3 classes on SDC. Speed doesn't matter, you got plenty of time so pick the courses you like. You could pay for 1 more month of SDC and it would only cost you $60 more which is nothing. 

2. Should I switch back to my Accounting degree and take longer to complete my BSBA? I feel if I am going for my MBA, I can just complete my BSBA in Gen Management and move forward with the MBA. Anyone else in a similar situation? I don't want to hurt my chances for other jobs by not getting my Accounting degree. I feel with my years of experience and a MBA I should be competitive in the workforce. For accounting, I'm thinking more in terms of being a CPA which requires a 150 credit degree to be licensed. You said you have 15yrs experience in accounting, that is what will get you hired over the degree. [b]Certainly, with an MBA, you'll be competitive. I would also look to see if there are any certifications that fit well with your career. [/b]

3. Recommendations for MBA programs? I am looking at WGU but I want to make sure I wont have to take any other prereqs and can hopefully speed through it. Please advise if I would need to take any other classes to get in the MBA program. I'm looking at WGU for speed and Purdue Global if I want a brand name degree. I'm looking at an MBA since that's my area of expertise and the other master's MSML or MAOL aren't as well known. 

Thank you for this feedback! I learned about MSML and MAOL on this forum. I think I still want the MBA as it lines up with the jobs I would be going after. Do you know any certs in Accounting? What are their names or where could I get them from? Certs would be an excellent item to add to my resume.

I will look into Purdue Global. Not very familiar with them. I am paying for the MBA out of pocket so I am trying to do it on the lower end if possible.

Thank you again!

Do NOT look at UMPI, as you've already taken the Cornerstone and are almost finished.

1) I would not worry about the concentration, as I don't think it's super important.  Also, you would lose ALL of the credits currently in the AoS, since 2 of the Accounting courses are LL, and Int Accounting I & II are LL and required - so you'd have to take 6 AoS courses for the ACC concentration.  Not worth it I don't think.

2) Have TESU move FIN200: Intro to Finance Harves (FIN-301) to the AoS, then take a LL finance course for the core (either SDC's FIN 104: Financial Management or Sophia's Principles of Finance).

3) This leaves only 2 UL courses in the AoS.  You already have 3 of 4 areas covered, so I would take 2 UL accounting courses since that's what you're good at.  SDC has 3 to choose from, ICC has 1.

Then, go get your Masters in Accounting instead of an MBA.  It will be more bang for your buck with your current career, and no downside to it if you move up as you go (you will not get "dinged" for having a MA in Accounting rather than an MBA). I'd do WGU.

Thank you!

This is the main reason why I switched to Gen Man as opposed to Accounting. I would need to take more classes and a lot of my electives would not be transferred into the Accounting degree.

I will most def ask TESU to see if they could move the FIN200 class over! I still have a few days left on my sophia subscription. I could go knock out that other class in a few days.

What is ICC?

Great point about getting a Masters in Accounting as opposed to a MBA. I will look into that as well.

Thanks again!
