Gen Eds = Study.com + TESU (need help)

[Gloddy]

Hi Everyone.

First let me say Thank You to everyone here.  I have been looking into completing my degree over the past 18 months while finishing some professional designations. One of these can't be used until I complete my undergrad. This forum has given me the confidence to get it done...finally.

Any way, so far I have completed 4 courses on study.com English 105 (ENC101); Communications 101 (COM209); Political Science 102 (POS110); and Business 109 (COS110). I am currently enrolled in History 103 (HIS113) and Nutrition 101 (BIO208).

I used my academic evaluation tool on TESU's site (I am still waiting for them to apply my past credits from other schools - apparently it can take 40 days) to create my road map. I don't know where everything will fit, but I still have a lot of Gen Eds to complete so I am working on things I know I need regardless of past credits.  While working on my road map, it seems like most of the study.com courses don't exactly line up with the Gen Eds listed on TESU's website.

Below are the two links I use to try to figure this out.
Study.com - TESU Equivalency

General Education Courses: Enrolled in 2016 and After

What I am really looking for is the courses from study.com that will definitely meet the 19 GE Electives needed. This is section F of the General Education Requirements for TESU Academic Evaluation Tool/sheet.

Here is what I have so far. I am not 100% sure any of this is correct.

Please give me your thoughts, guidance and recommendations.

1  Cornerstone - Hopefully waived for being a study.com student. Still waiting for evaluation from TESU.
3  American History II (HIS114) - Study.com - US History II
3  Intro to Psychology (PSY101) - Study.com - Psychology 101
3  Criminology (AOJ103) - Study.com - Criminal Justice 103
3  Environment and Humanity (ENS201) - Study.com - Environmental Science 101
3  Geology (GEO151) - Study.com - Geology 101
3  NO IDEA

I prefer classes that are the quizzes plus the final with no writing or projects. I am open to any all suggestions.
I would not be against scrapping all of the above for something more efficient from a time perspective.  For example, I am currently taking history and was planning on the second listed above. I noticed several people on here discussing the history of Vietnam, but could not find where this specifically fits according to the resources above.

As always, thanks for your time and help.

First, you didn't say what your degree is.  Second, what you have is ok, but you don't have enough courses to complete your Gen Ed's unless you already have some other courses somewhere.

Here's a BALS spreadsheet, if you want to try to figure it out with a better roadmap.

Sorry for the lack of information.  I am seeking a BSBA in Finance degree from TESU.
 
I already have the courses mapped out for the other items I need in the Gen Eds (attached), I am specifically looking for section F of TESU's General Education Requirements. For Finance it says I need 20, which includes the Cornerstone, which I hope is waived for being a student at study.com.
 
TESU's academic evaluation tool has links to each section of the Gen Ed requirements.  When I click on the link in section F, I am brought to a list of all of the classes that meet the requirements. It is the first link in my original post.
 
This includes classes from the following:
    A. Intellectual and Practical Skills
    B. Civic and Global Leadership
    C. Knowledge of Human Cultures
    D. Understanding of the Physical and Natural World
 
My challenge is very few of these classes, outside of the classes I am already taking to meet the other requirements match up.  For example, on study.com's page that gives you the TESU course equivalency I see that study.com's History 108: History of the Vietnam War matches up with TESU's HIS-246: Intro to Vietnam War.  The problem with this is, HIS-246 is nowhere to be found on the page on TESU's website that lists all of the courses that meet the Gen Ed requirements.  In fact, there is no course with Vietnam in the title.
 
 I am not saying this is a course I wanted to take, just trying to illustrate my dilemma.
 
The spreadsheet you attached to your reply lists:
 
Any GE Elective (SocSci, Hum, NatSci, CompSci, Math)
Any GE Elective (SocSci, Hum, NatSci, CompSci, Math)
Any GE Elective (SocSci, Hum, NatSci, CompSci, Math)
Any GE Elective (SocSci, Hum, NatSci, CompSci, Math)
 
While I appreciate this, I was hoping to be able to see the specific courses that would make this up to be assured that the classes will be accepted.  I was further hoping to the resources of the community to see if there are quicker more efficient courses I should consider.
 
Again, I thank you for always answering my posts and trying to assist me.  I feel like I have some momentum going and do not want to take my foot off the gas pedal. I am hoping to have 100% of my General Education credits completed before summer.  Then I will focus on the rest.
 
Regards,
Gloddy

TESU lists the courses that they themselves offer, but many other courses will fit into the degree and that area specifically. Literally thousands of courses are Gen Ed.

I listed the types of courses, and the course providers that offer them. Take a look at the course providers like SL, Study.com, CLEP, DSST, Shmoop, Saylor, etc. Then, ask about specific courses, and we can tell you. There's no way we can list ALL of the courses that will work, because there are so many.

I think I knew that there "literally thousands", but am fearful that things won't count.  I am just curious why go through the trouble of listing courses on study.com that match over to courses that I can't seem to find at TESU.

I will just wait to speak with the academic advisor when they get around to evaluating my other credits.  It is just taking so long that I am getting anxious.

I will report back once I speak with them.

Have a great day!

They evaluated Study.com (and SL) courses, and told what the course equivalencies are for them.  That's a GOOD thing, nothing to complain about.  And, once you know what a course equivalency is, then you can figure out where it will go (with a little help from us if necessary).  Like, when you see a computer course has a CIS or COS prefix, you know that it will fit in NatSciences and Gen Ed Electives.  Very helpful to know the prefix.  When you see a course number is 300+, then you know it's UL.

So there is no need to "match up" to TESU courses specifically.  Also, TESU would have to offer many many thousands of courses to have the ability to "match up" to every course offered by every course provider or school.  That's no possible, so this is the next best thing (actually better).

Also, as an FYI, TESU won't be a lot of help after you get your eval completed.  They can usually tell you what a specific course will come in as and whether it will meet a requirement, but they won't tell you what would work in an area.  For example, you can say "Will Study.com's Presentation Skills in the Workplace meet the oral Comm requirement?" and they will tell you; but you can't say "Can you tell me all of the non-TESU courses that will meet the Oral Comm requirement?"  They won't tell you.
