Quote:I would need to have a bachelor degree (any field) by June of 2011. Is this realistic at one of the "big three". If so, any advice on how and which school. What I was hoping to do is to get a pell grant and student loans. Use the left over money from online classes (refund) to pay for other test.
You are in an excellent position to complete a Business degree from either Thomas Edison (TESC) or Excelsior. For the BSBA Gen Business at TESC it looks like you only need Prin of Mgt (Business Management Principles BA-206-05 may apply), Mgr Acct, Bus Law, Business Policy, Bus Finance & Bus in Society/Int Bus (Business Ethics may apply) to complete the core area. TESC also has a BSBA with a "Learner Designed Area of Study".
Quote:Thomas Edison State College | BSBA Learner-Designed Area of StudySince you already have 12 credits in Sports Fitness/Management (below), you might consider this as an option if you could put together a justifiable plan that includes 6 other credits (like Bus Ethics & Org Behav etc...)
SPHE413 Sports Marketing
SPHE351 Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills
Conditioning, Beg 32781 PE-185CA-04
Conditioning, Int 52863 PE-185CB-04
So a quick plan for completing the TESC business core could be:
CLEP Principles of Mgmt $80 (if Business Management Principles BA-206-05 doesn't apply)
CLEP Business Law $80
DSST Principles of Finance $85 or TESC course
DSST Business Ethics in Society $85 (if Business Ethics doesn't apply)
Managerial Acct (Straighterline $99 + $39 if completed in under 1 month)
Business Policy TESC course
To qualify for the student loan, you need to take at least 6 credits, which could be Business Policy and one other course.
If TESC applies both Business Management Principles & Business Ethics to your core then you are really set.
Good luck whatever you decide!
