Need a 300 level US constitution class

Anyone know of a DL US Constitution class. Needs to be at or above 300 level. Asking for a friend. Excelsior's class finder shows nothing. It has to be a policital science class. Thanks much.

 

There ought to be more than a few from major universities like Minnesota, Illinois, perhaps Tennesee and Kentucky. Of course fereting out the upper-level one from the 200-level ones is another matter! (These are alnost always correspondence courses - but a couple might be online.)

How many credit hours does the class have to be?

 

Empire State College . . . but it only runs in the autumn semester

Oh, sorry, it has to be 3 hours. She just discovered she can get a bachelor's degree in political science if she has this class so she'd like to do it. I couldn't find anything through Excelsior's distance learn program.

 

I searched for that course and found only lower division (100 - 200 level) courses. The 300 - 400 level courses built upon that course. She could take two courses to meet the requirement.

 

Can you take a TESC course without being enrolled? I know nothing about TESC except that if she has to enroll at 4500.00 it's not an option. Anyone know?

 

I asked about the hours because I have seen some classes that were either one or two hours but I am have a senior moment and cannot remember where. I think they had to do with teacher certificaiton.
The course at TESC looks like it is constitutional law. If that would be acceptable, it would give her a lot more options.

 

Yup, although the price per credit goes up from $99 to $198. Details at http://www.tesc.edu/prospective/undergraduate/tuition.php?section=students

I might add that TESC's web site is second only to Excelsior's in its utter opacity when it comes to tracking down bits and pieces of information.

Don't know how flexible the school is but she might try this one. It could be a bit narrow but might be worth a try.

Sorry, I left the link out of this one.

Upper Iowa University has 400 level PolySci courses in constitutional law through independent study.

Check out Empire Stae College http://www.esc.edu/esconline/across_esc/cdl/cdl.nsf/wholeshortlinks2/Term+Offerings?opendocument
They have an "Upper Level" DL course "US Constitutuion: Topics for our times" SOC-164344. It is listed in their downloadable summer catalog.
This is not listed as a Pol SCi course but maybe your school will accept it. In my case USNY (Regents/Excelsior) accepted a history class (US Diplomacy) towards fullfiling my Pol Sci concentration.

 

Thanks folks, several very good options here. I guess I was tired last night when I was trying to find something. I came up with zip. I knew you could help.

 

I vote for IU

I took Y304 several years ago. I recieved a B, as I argued a bit over interpretation of some court decisions. It is not easy, but doable, with about 10-12 essay submissions and a midterm and final. (that was several years ago). The B discouraged me from trying Constitutional Law II, but overall it was a good course. Very tranferable, as I've moved the credit around to several schools before finishing with Regents (Excelsior now).

 

Re: I vote for IU

What were the prerequisites for the course?

 

Maybe american governement, maybe no real prereq was required for 300 level IU courses. American Governemnt would help though.

Note: I found the IU program a bit heavy on writing, I took 6 courses and did well overall, but they took a while. Their BGS program is definetly a bit of work.

They did have several upper level poly sci and sociology courses good for the eventual transfer to Regents.
