Excelsior- Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts

[Life Long Learning]

I have completed 2 Lower Level courses and tomorrow I should finish Business Ethics. That would be 6 LL credits plus the Sophia free course. I still have one more LL course and two UL to take.

The ad visor told me the following:
For example you can take 3 upper level History courses or 4 Communication courses (including Ethics of Communications) to satisfy your depth. You need Upper level Arts & Science credit to complete your degree.

I still do not understand when LL or UL and how it is accepted at Excelsior.
Can I take the remaining UL courses at Study.com? or DSST would be best. Can someone guide me during my last steps with the right UL courses?

EC goes with what ACE determines whether a course is UL or LL.  UL is 300- or 400-level courses, so things you would take your 3rd/4th year at a college.  LL is 100- or 200-level courses, so what you would normally consider "gen ed", and what you would take in your first 2 years, or at a Community College.

Here's the link to ACE: http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=browse.main
Find the course provider, and click on them.  Then click on the course you're interested in.  Scroll down, and it will tell you if it's considered a LL or UL course.

As an FYI, here are some breakdowns:

All LL
TEEX Cybersecurity courses
NFA free course
SL
CLEP
Ed4Credit

Mostly LL
Saylor is all LL except BUS208: Prin of Management
Shmoop is all LL except Geometry (2cr UL)

Mixture of UL & LL
ACTFL is a mixture of LL & UL, depending on how you score on an exam
DSST has 7 UL courses (Money & Banking, Substance Abuse, Intro to Law Enforcement, The Civil War, Vietnam War, Soviet Union & Cybersecurity)
UExcel has a mixture of UL and LL courses, but they will list it on their website (and if the course is 300- or 400-level)
TECEP has a mixture of UL and LL courses, but they will list it on their website (and if the course is 300- or 400-level)
Davar Academy is mostly UL
Coopersmith is a mixture and will tell you on their course description (they are NCCRS rather than ACE)
Study.com is a mixture of UL and LL courses
The Institutes free Insurance Ethics course - 2cr UL

My ACE UL credits were all granted UL at EC.  EC does let some CC credits as UL depending on the subject.

I think I will give the UL a try using these DSSTs. What are the two easiest Arts and Science I can take from this list? I need to use Prometric . Can I take these online with proctor? In my area its real far away.
