FIN-301, MAN-210, MAR-201 Equivalent through Sophia?

[javabeanstudio]

Welcome to the board javabeanstudio!  Basically, since you're really still in the "research stage" of the degree/school of choice, you may want to provide us as much details as possible by following this template: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Depending on your answers to the template and the info you provide (including the last post of the link I just linked above), you may want to go for a TESU BSBA with Entrepreneurship AOS and get a Marketing Certificate - OR you can decide on an UMPI BABA with Marketing concentration instead.

I was planning on posting this to the forum once I had a bit more info but here it goes....

Location: NJ, United States. 

Age: 47

What kind of degree do you want?: BSBA with concentration in Marketing
NOTE: Generally speaking my goal is a BSBA so I can qualify for higher positions in a corporate in-house creative environment. Specifically I feel the marketing concentration may serve me best as I already have 20+ years in advertising design/art direction and I want to leverage my experience along with a new degree in marketing to get into a position like marketing manager, brand manager, etc. 

Current Regional Accredited Credits: AAS in Advertising Design from Mercer County College NJ (1994)

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience? No
 
Timeline: Speed is important as I may be facing layoffs in the next 6 months or so. I realize I will not be done in 6 months but I would like to have as much done as possible. As of right now, my thoughts are to do what I can through ACE, CLEP, etc. and start any classes through the chosen college in September (possibly sooner).

Commitments: I currently work full time (over 40hrs a week) and volunteer (about 4-5hrs a week). This is subject to change as I know layoffs are coming and I would be free to be a full time student until I found my next job.

Dedicated time to study: Realistically I estimate about 15-18hrs a week. I think anymore than that with a demanding full time job and other commitments would burn me out fast.

Budget: I have approximately $10-15K available. 

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None. I'll be paying entirely out of pocket and have already applied for FAFSA and did not receive anything.

PLEASE NOTE: I have been accepted to the following schools for a BSBA with concentration in Marketing:

• TESU -- will transfer 33 credits of 120
  
• SNHU -- will transfer 55 credits of 121
  
• WGU -- will transfer 30 credits of 121
  
• Capella -- will transfer 87 quarter credits of 180
  
• UMPI -- waiting for academic evaluation 
  
• William Patterson University -- waiting for academic evaluation
  
• POST University -- waiting for academic evaluation

You do NOT need an exact equivalency for FIN-301 OR MAN-210, as I already stated previously. In most cases, TESU is not looking for specific course numbers, only for the courses themselves. Thus, FIN-200 is the SAME as FIN-301 when it comes to the business core. And MAN-301 is the SAME as MAN-210.

Okay I understand now. Thanks for the clarification.
