Thomas Edison BSBA International Business Help
#1
Alright, so I am trying to get a BSBA in International Business and have hammered out many of the courses, but a few vex me.

Of the 60 hours of the basics I've got:
Intellectual and Practical Skills: 

Written communications -  ENG Comp 1 & 2 (6) - Community College
Quantitative Literacy - College Algebra (3) - Study.com
Diversity - Intro to Sociology (3) - Community College
Civic engagement - American Gov (3) - Shmoop



Civic and Global Learning:

World Geo (3) - Study.com 
Intro to world religions (3) - Study.com

Understanding the Physical and Natural World:

Biology (3) - AP
Anatomy and Physiology (3) - Study.com

Mathematics:

Intro to Statistics (3) - AP


Those are the basics that I've completed, but I'm mainly asking for help for my missing Information Literacy, and Ethics courses. I've taken Business Ethics, but I don't know if that can count towards Ethics or not. According to TESU's website (https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2019-and-after) Information Literacy must be filled by SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy. Is there a Study.com equivalent to this, or is this inaccurate. I would appreciate whatever help I can receive.

Unless you're grandfathered into a previous catalog year AND have already taken TES-100, then you must take SOS-110 for Information Literacy.

As for Ethics, I can't speak to the specific class you took without knowing what it is, but it will most likely come in as Ethics without issue.

You must take it with TESU.   Also, TESU does not take Shmoop credits (they did at one time - but no more).

Are you an active/enrolled student with TESU who already have transferred these credits into TESU? If so what catalog year are you active under?

I am not an active/enrolled student. I thought that TESU would take all ACE transcripts. I have transferred all of my Study.com and Shmoop credits to ACE transcripts thinking that they would accept everything through that.

Shmoop is the only exception we know of where TESU won't accept ACE credit (there are also a few that are considered vocational credit so don't count towards the degree). It was a big deal on here a while ago, apparently someone was taking way too many too fast so TESU stopped accepting Shmoop until further notice.

I guess it's not a huge deal since I only did 2 classes with Shmoop because I hated it so much. Seriously, I love that they are cheap, but you get what you pay for, and I wasn't going to pay any more for that absolute trash.

I see American Government was one of the classes you did via Shmoop. If you feel like you have a good grasp on the material, you could probably knock out the CLEP with very little effort and for free.

That too is a CLEP option - CLEP exams are free through Modern States (https://modernstates.org)
