I'm considering doing the Institute's free ethics course before it expires, but it is only 2 credits. Based on posts I've seen from people on here, I get the feeling that the two credit Institutes course fills the ethics requirement at TESU.
- Does it completely fulfill TESu's requirement or will I need to pick up a third credit somehow?
- If I need a third credit, what are some options?

It fills the requirement enough to check that box on the degree completion, but you still need to make up the 1 credit in your Gen Ed electives. Which can be done by replacing a 3 credit course with a 4 credit one (like adding a lab maybe). Or just bite the bullet and add an extra GE elective course to end up at 62 credits in your GenEd area. Personally, I'd rather end up taking an extra GE elective in a subject area I'm actually interested in any way.

The easiest and lowest cost (as it is FREE) to make up that lost credit is through the Sophia 1 credit course(s). One works for the BSBA, the other covers the others - I forget which covers which area, they are both free and quick and easy so I personally just took them both.

Heh, I spaced on those two. But yeah, Developing Effective Teams comes into TESU as HRM-299, which is either BSBA or free elective, while Essentials of Managing Conflict comes into TESU as SOS-240, which is a Social Science GE as well as fit into the BSBA. I think they might both fit into the BSOL as well, but I'm not certain about that.
