Hi, I decided to get my bachelor degree after over a decade from my last college attendance. I applied to Excelsior and they transferred about 70 credits , I took additional 12 credit with Saylor and 6 with StraighterLine, now I need about 30 UL credits. Any suggestions on cheaper way to get these credits? Thanks
Any Uexcel that's classified as 300 or 400-level. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/choose-your-exam/ Any DSST or Study.com course that is evaluated as UL credit. http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=browse.getOrganizationDetail&FICE=300162 http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=browse.getOrganizationDetail&FICE=1008350 300 and 400-level TECEPs https://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php
I agree with Sanatone, those are the best options. I am leaning towards recommending Study.com as they can be done entirely online. Furthermore, for Study.com, there are two exams/courses for $200/month, and an extra exam at $70 each after the two... cheap/easy/fast...
Idaho State University has Independent study courses at $160 a credit. https://www.uidaho.edu/academics/dee/independent-study/registration-and-fees/course-fees Of course, you actually have to take a course and not a challenge exam. Find a course: https://www.uidaho.edu/academics/dee/independent-study/courses/find-a-course Also, BYU Independent Study offers a few UL courses at about $200 a credit. https://is.byu.edu/catalog?school=18 Not too familiar with graduate credits for school teachers but looks very reasonably priced! If they give you crap for not being a teacher sign up as a substitute?? https://extended.humboldt.edu/extended-education/course/graduate-credit-courses-teachers
Here is some research I did into the issue when I was finishing my BS at Excelsior Here is some classes paired with UL exams Recommended Saylor Classes for Upper Division Exams: Saylor BUS205 Excelsior Exam BUSx323 Saylor BUS300 Excelsior Exam BUSx425 Saylor BUS301 Excelsior Exam BUSx410 Saylor BUS403 Thomas Edison Exam CMP-354 Saylor BUS303 Thomas Edison Exam NEG-401-TE I ended up using DSST Vietnam and Russia for some Upper Division credit.
Upper division has become an issue folks need to pay more attention to. A lost of dsst lost their upper division status.
If we're talking about the Big Three, then the best games in town for that right now seem to be UExcel, TECEP, and Study.com courses.
