Excelsior & UL
#1
Does anyone know if there's a place to take business upper level courses for Excelsior? Is there a PDF or chart showing how these would transfer in? I need an UL version of Principle of Finance (Corporate) and would rather not pay Excelsior for it if at all possible. I can take it at CSU Global, but again it's $$$$. Was hoping for an alternative....a cheaper one....one without weekly papers.

Study.com has several upper level finance courses. Definitely check with your advisor to make sure. But generally 300-400 levels would transfer over as 300-400 level.
TESU BSBA Gen Mgmt - In progress
Straighterline - 72 credits
Sophia - 35 credits
Study.com - 21 credits
TEEX - 6 credits
East MS CC, Jackson State CC, Univ of TN at Martin, Olivet Nazarene, TESU - 27 credits
Goal: teaching cert, state of GA

Thank you! I will check these out and see what Excelsior will accept. Anything to speed up this process. It's taken me years to finish my bachelor's degree and a mountain of student loans. I'm soooo ready to be done!

Hard to beat Davar for UL business courses, any two for $99. I just completed CIS315, Management Information Services, and MAN310, Organizational Behavior. They have plenty more; https://www.davaracademy.com/business.html

You would have to double check as to whether or not they'll fit your degree plan at EC, and whether they'll come in as UL (the two I specified did). Not all of them do, though. My EC advisor specifically shot down LAW201 Business Law and MAR330 Principles of Sales, saying that they only take them as LL in spite of NCCRS' UL recommendation.

15 chapters, a couple of hours a night, a weekend day reviewing the study guide...8 or 9 days.  I have a PC hardware and networking background which helped, but there was a lot of administrative stuff to cover.

With Study.com, you can actually take up to 5 classes a month. You have to pay $70 for the exams on each of the extra courses past the 2. I was looking at this the other night thinking it's still a sweet deal...way less than a grand or more for a 3 credit course.
