Degree Planning - Choice Selection Help

[Kjnova]

Thanks, however, I have spent weeks trying to find courses that would transfer in for my remaining NCSU requirements without much luck. There are two problems, one is that the courses are in some cases pretty specific, and the second problem is that NCSU rejected two courses that (in my opinion) clearly did fit in terms of syllabi but were offered in a self-paced format. So, I think I would need to use asynchronous classes, in which case there is little advantage to doing them elsewhere instead of at NCSU.

As an example of the first problem, these are the only courses that will meet my British Renaissance Literature requirement:

ENG 439
Studies in English Renaissance Literature
3.00

ENG 529
16th-Century Non-Dramatic English Literature
3.00

ENG 530
17th-Century English Literature
3.00

ENG 561
Milton
3.00

ENG 578
English Drama To 1642
3.00

As an example of the second problem, here is an NCSU class that would meet two of my requirements (3 hours interdisciplinary, plus a diversity requirement):

AFS 260 - History of Jazz

Course Detail
Career: Undergraduate
Units: 3.00

Description
History of jazz and the contributions of major artists. Emphasis of the various styles that have contributed to this American art form. Investigation of structural forms in the jazz idiom.

Here is a UW-Flex class that NCSU told me today would not transfer in as AFS 260 ... which makes me question what WILL transfer in, and what the reasons are for this one not transferring in (I assume because it's self-paced):

CGS MUS 273x
Jazz History & Appreciation
An introduction to the styles and forms of jazz through a study of its history, literature, cultural influences, musical structure, and prominent performers. Includes recorded listening experiences.

Maybe I am just frustrated right now and can come up with a better plan, but right now I feel like NCSU wants me to do this the hard way. Synchronous online classes every night or maybe at best asynchronous but not self-paced, and waiting an extra semester or two for rarely offered classes to pop up on the schedule.

I would like my diploma to say NCSU. But I also want to get this done in a timely fashion ...

I would work on the NCSU credits to finish there while also concurrently working at a Masters program such as the one provided by University of Huddlesfield via Coursera, which is a MSc in Management and which could qualify you for PhD studies if you desired since it has a research component: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/msc-man...ddersfield

Various institutions in the UK/Europe such as the one above allow you to enter without a Bachelor's degree for the business masters, and its AACSB accredited as well so it would be recognized in the United States as well as relevant to your career. You'd graduate from NCSU and then with an internationally respected business masters.

Replying separately to say that I do like this idea. In fact, before I started down this path with NCSU, I was looking at the University of East London MBA program, for that same reason, and then decided I should do first things first. But maybe this would be a way to do something better and get benefits now and later.

Of the UK MBA programs that do not require a bachelor's degree, is there a preferred option, for reasons of quality, speed, cost, reputation?

Thanks!
