Overwhelmed - Too Long Didn't Read - Just Help Me Please, Step By Step!

Overview
The information below is generally geared towards the Thomas Edison State University BSBA General Management. You can modify the AOS (Area of Study) accordingly if you're going for a different AOS concentration. For individuals who like online testing, you would just substitute these or the spreadsheets as those are geared towards online testing and not testing by CLEP/DSST.

Mapping Out Your Plan
Using the following info, create your spreadsheet or modify the one I have created
 * Find your requirements: http://www.tesu.edu/business/bsba/General-Management.cfm
 * General Education Info: http://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2016-and-After2.cfm
 * Available Courses TESU: http://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/index.cfm

 * DSST Exam Equivalency: http://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/DSST.cfm
 * TECEP Exams available: http://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php

With this info, you should be able to map out where you are and what courses are required. Good luck. You can then get yourself a calendar and schedule yourself, pace yourself, maybe do a few courses a month. Generally speaking, the AOS is the hardest part to find the courses, don't spend too much time on deciding. If you would like a different concentration such as the CIS, the only difference is the AOS. Just do it! You can follow this plan to the T and get the degree you need, or make very minor modifications. Don't stall!

Side Note: If you find this helpful and you have completed your degree with this information, please PM me [bjcheung77] and send me a message or a picture of your success. I love reading success stories, I just warms my heart to see others happy and feeling great. I look forward to myself completing that elusive Bachelors degree as well and I can then work on the Masters. For many of us, we're using this opportunity to study to better ourselves and improve our own knowledge. I hope you all have a great journey and get to complete something as elusive yet simple as this... When I look back at the times I've fallen, I've gotten back up and am still working hard to get this completed for my own benefit and self fulfillment.
