    Hi,

    My wife is completing an Excelsior college degree and is short of 6 upper level credits in social science or arts. She has been taking Penn foster ace reviewed classes but we cannot find any upper level class for social science and arts.

    I wonder if anyone knows about an upper level class that is ACE reviewed either from Penn foster or other unexpensive college that has ACE reviewed class.

    Excelsior would accept any credit that is ACE reviewed so any suggestion is welcome.

    I don't think Penn Foster has any courses that have been reviewed by ACE for upper division credit. LSU offers two sociology courses that are upper division: LSU Independent and Distance Learning They also offer 2 upper division psychology courses, if those will work for your wife. LSU is regionally accredited, so you'll no problem with credit transfer.

    Tuition, including fees, is $445 per class. It's nowhere near the low cost of Penn Foster, but it may be the lowest out there. BYU offers a few as well, I think, but they're a little more expensive than LSU.

    Did you see the price reduction on these 5 Excelsior exams? Shortened Exams - excelsior.edu Couple of intro classes there that might work if she wants to test out.

    Excelsior would accept the VESI classes but as education, so they would go under free electives, however, she can have her advisor review the course description and approve some of the classes for social science like violence in schools for example.
