| FDR 4400 ALTERNATIVES? |

I am completing a BSBA - Finance at TESU. I'm transfering in around 100 credits already and I've been able to find transfer equivalents (CLEP/DSST/Study.com) for all remaining courses but BUS2100 and FDR4400.
I read on a 2023 thread that BUS2100 can be handled by the CSM course but I cannot find anything to handle the FDR4400 without taking it at TESU.
I'm looking to pay the $3,400 and only take the capstone + info lit class and graduate.
Can I swap a upper level accounting or finance course for FDR4400?
Thanks all.

I'm not sure of the Ashworth one. i'd imagine Penn Foster students would be eligible as Penn Foster is the parent company & maybe it could even work vice verse? Ashworth Alumni being eligible for the above two school discounts? I'm not sure. This is all just speculation.

| Advice for Business Degree in Finance |

Hello everyone,
I want to start off by saying that I found this forum the other day when looking into getting a college degree online. After reading through many threads, I can say that this is truly a remarkable community. Many are here only to help others which is very admirable and selfless. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I feel it is essential to give as many details about myself as I can to obtain the best guidance possible.
I did quite a bit of research using this forum, and I have to admit the amount of information is quite overwhelming. I am hoping this community can help point me in the right direction to pursue a Business Degree in Finance. This is something I have put off for quite a while after I became successful in my career, but now it is something I want to accomplish. My ultimate goal is to obtain my MBA, but first things first.
To start I will give some of my professional experience as I have read that this can be applied toward college credits in certain situations. I have been in the banking industry for 25 years. I have held a multitude of positions beginning my career as a teller until today where my title is SVP - Director of ACH Operations at a large regional bank. I am unsure if any of my professional experience could be applied toward a finance degree, but it would be great if possible. I also read that professional certifications could potentially be applied toward college credits as well. I currently have my Certified Treasury Professional (CTP), Accredited ACH Professional (AAP), and Accredited Payments Risk Professional (APRP) certifications. I am also preparing to take the Accredited Faster Payments Professional (AFPP) exam in February. I expect to obtain that one as well because I believe in over preparing for these types of certification exams because you can only take them one time a year.
I went to a community college briefly in 2006/2007 and below are the classes I completed. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I had a 4.0 GPA.
ENGL 1301; PSYC 2301; ITSC 1401; MATH 0308; MATH 0310; MATH 1314; SPCH 1311; ENGL 1302
Addendum & Template (answer in brief, compact, concise phrases - don't need long sentences):
Your Location: Houston, TX
Your Age: 46
What kind of degree do you want?: Finance
Current Regional Accredited Credits: My transcript says 25 credits, but I am not sure if all apply based on the courses listed above
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: I tried to find information on this but wasn't very successful in deciphering everything
Any certifications or military experience?: Yes, CTP, AAP, APRP, and soon to be AFPP certifications
Budget: I don't necessarily have a budget, but the less I would have to pay the better (obviously). However, if I need to pay a little more to complete it faster I will
Commitments: Job and Family
Dedicated time to study: Depending on the week 10-20 hours, so probably an average of 15 hours weekly
Timeline: I would like to start in March of 2026
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I will not need tuition assistance
I appreciate anyone who looks at this and welcome any advice.
Thanks,
Brent

Hi everyone,
I’m starting to map out my degree plans, and I’m trying to make sense of all the general education options out there. I’ve been reading through a lot of threads, and the advice has already helped me get a better feel for the process. I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself and ask a few questions.
I’m especially interested in which gen-ed courses tend to be the most flexible, which ones transfer without problems, and which providers people here usually trust. I’d also love to hear any study habits or tips that made the early stages easier for you.
If you’re open to sharing your experience or pointing out things I should watch out for, I’d really appreciate it. I’m here to learn and hopefully help others as I progress.
Thanks in advance, and I’m glad to be joining the community!

I was searching for ABD doctoral programs and came across this program. Looks like the program is a total of 60 credits, but they accept 42 transfer credits for their ABD pathway. Tuition is $900 per credit, for a total of $16,200, and only six courses to complete, all dissertation-related. They hold RA accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Learning.
This is tempting for the price point if one can get all 42 credits transferred in. Hmmm, maybe I should give it a try in the future? Perhaps someone on the forum will before me haha.
https://www.alvernia.edu/academics/grad/phd-leadership
A.B.D. Pathway
Our program offers an A.B.D. (All But Dissertation) pathway for students who have completed doctoral coursework elsewhere, allowing them to transfer up to 42 credits, receive expert mentorship, and finish their dissertation in a supportive academic environment. Please see admissions requirements below for additional items required for A.B.D. applicants.

I'm on the discord and don't see many talking about this concentration. I'm assuming there's not many students enrolled compared to communication, hrm etc
It appears trudel and reyes-fournier are professors and they can be a little picky at least that's what most experienced at umpi for undergrad business classes. Especially 325 pre 2025
