    While I'm still weighing a few options, one idea I am bouncing around in my head is a BA from Thomas Edison State College. One of their requirements for a degree in Sociology is a course in Social Theory. This does not seem to correspond to any exam nor any of the inexpensive course resources that I am aware of.

    Are you aware of any (I repeat INEXPENSIVE) options that could help me fill this requirement?

    According to New World Encyclopedia™ Social theory - New World Encyclopedia, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, social theory by and large reflected traditional views of society, including traditional views of family and marriage.

    BYU Independent studies may be an option to complete the TESC Sociological Theory course requirement. BYU 3-credit hour university courses are $459 and can be completed via DL (paper) or online.

    TESC doesn't offer the course? If you enroll, depending on what method you choose, what is the cheapest it would be from there?

    IF I go with them, maybe yes, maybe I'd have to take an actual course. Then again, if I changed my major, then no, I wouldn't.

    I'm leaning more strongly towards my original first choice, Columbia College anyway. TESC has become choice number 2, since most calculations I have made have, amazingly, made them slightly less expensive than if I re-enrolled with Excelsior.

    By the way, are you stalking me from board to board? :Eyecrazy: If you are, I would much prefer that you understand the point that I am trying to make before you try to challenge me on it :grouphug:

    Stalking you from board to board? When you have the same name on both and frequent both, just as I do, of course I will read what you post. I visit there irregularly and didn't see the thread you made over there or I would have posted it there. I had saw when you originally made the statement and then didn't read the rest of the thread until today. Regardless, your statement was pretty clear to everyone who read it as it was originally written without an explanation. Maybe it made sense in your head but not the way it came out. After I saw that you had tried to explain yourself I changed what I wrote and gave you the benefit of the doubt. I edited it immediately and again before your post so I don't know why it would have been captured.

    A much (MUCH) more flexible way to study sociology at TESC is getting your degree in Social Science instead of Sociology. That's the degree I earned. I split my major, SS gen eds, and gen ed electives between sociology, psychology, anthropology, criminal justice, and social sciences. Just a thought :)
