need help with degree planning for son for Bachelor's in Business Admin or Finance

[EducationSeeker]

@EducationSeeker, for the son who hasn't completed any RA credits, I would highly recommend the same as Rachel83Az.  Having said that, for the son who has about 30 RA credits already, he can complete the English requirement with ACE providers such as Sophia.org, Study.com, or through CLEP exam through Modern States, etc.  It's personal preference...

@bjcheung77

Would the reason that my older son who already has 30 Regionally Accredited (RA) credits can take his English Composition 2 on Sophia/Study.com/CLEP as opposed to my younger son because he would have already met the requirement for RA type of credit? What is the requirement for TESU?

Thanks,

For English Comp at TESU, there are 3 "best" options.

1.) https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ol...University College Writing II from ONU has less writing than some other English Comp options. It's self-paced and $150 ($50/credit) no matter whether it takes you 1 month or 5 to complete the course. There are technically multiple writing assignments, but they're all building up to a single final paper. I.E., "write a thesis statement" then "write a bibliography" and so on.

2.) https://www2.tesu.edu/tecep.php?CourseCode=ENC-102 English Comp TECEP. $150 for the exam, proctored by ProctorU. Can be taken at home. It's easy to pass, but frustratingly set up. Something about getting a writing prompt on one screen and then having to continue that on another screen or something. If you choose this route, I would suggest looking through the forum to see what people have said about it in the past.

3.) https://iq3prod1.smartcatalogiq.com/Cata...DSST-Exams Principles of Advanced English Composition DSST. May be best for your son if he prefers exams and you have a testing center nearby. I have not taken this myself, but there is apparently no writing whatsoever. It's all multiple-choice questions.

Would the ONU class Writing 2 ENGL 210 be the following class https://catalog.olivet.edu/preview_cours...coid=15437? It did not look like this is proctored?

I believe you stated that your TESU BS in Finance took about 15 months? Was this total time or did you complete the degree from the very start (no college credits straight through until graduation) in that amount of time? I realize the amount of time could vary considerably based on the amount of time the individual is motivated, available time compared with other obligations (i.e. work, family). My older son would probably be working 20 hours a week and living at home so he would be a full time student unlike the more non-traditional student with a family and full time job. If he were to complete the classes back to back roughly 2-4 weeks at a time with a 1 week break in between and 30 credits, do you think that 15 months to 2 more years for a completion date would be feasible?
