My sister is 6 (upper level?) elective Finance credits shy of graduating with BS in Finance. She's living the country to pursue a career in professional sports, apparently at least for 2 years. Her plan for now is to return someday for a summer semester and graduate (she'll still have an athletic scholarship for tuition), but I'd love to suggest some more certain course of action. Can anyone suggest a good source of credit for her? Preferences are: 1) Fully online classes. 2) RA (obviously). 3) (my preference) fixed deadlines, just as an additional motivator. 4) Preferably, no proctored exams. I guess she could arrange for proctoring in Spain where she'll be going, but I would prefer to minimize hurdles/excuses. 5) her current school is AACSB accredited. So I'd guess AACSB credit would be easier to transfer, although I doubt it's crucial. 6) Cost is a factor. I would need to persuade her to do it, and paying big bucks is a straightforward counterargument.
My employer, Southeastern University in Washington, D.C., might fit the bill. Online courses are around $800 each, do not require proctored tests (I think). SEU is regionally accredited, but not AACSB, so if you can confirm that that's not a requirement, and you can persuade her to do this at all, have her email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to connect her to those who can help her. -=Steve=-
Thank you for your responce. The cost is great. As to confirming if RA only will suffice, I think she could do it herself, on her department. I think, though, that it would be much easier to discuss transferability of specific courses. Here: http://www.seu.edu/docs/registrar/online_sU06.pdf - I can see only two, and only one is upper-level. Is there any more courses?
My alma mater, City University, offers an online bachelor's in finance, so I'm sure your sister could pick up her last two remaining courses and transfer them back to her original school. www.cityu.edu
Hmm, nope, and that 500 level is a graduate course, not an upper-division undergraduate course. Maybe Ted's alma mater is a better fit? -=Steve=-
Unfortunately, my alma mater no longer offers the bachelor's in finance. However, their online BSBA does include two upper-division finance courses: one on financing organizations and one on reading and interpreting financial statements.
LSU lists the following upper division classes under finance: Finance Courses: BLAW 4203 – Commercial Transactions for Accountants * FIN 3351 – Principles of Real Estate (H) FIN 3715 – Business Finance LSU is RA and costs about $220 per 3-hour class. BYU offers an upper division class in Financial Management, if that will work. They are about $360 per 3-hour class. Liberty Iniversity offers the following upper division finance courses at $$750 per 3-hour course: Corporate Finance Money and the Financial System Granite State offers its classes for about $215 per hour and each class is worth 4 hours: Investment Principles Money and Banking Fort Hays offers this upper division for $390 per 3-hour class: Managerial Finance Pug
Thanks for your help everyone! I think I'd have to take a look at her transcript so far to see what she already took before I ask more questions. I must admit, it's way harder than I thought! Finding accounting classes for my wife was way easier; in fact, LSU had most of what she needed.
