More new Sophia Courses on the way(including UL!)

[BitWiseGuy]

I just tried asking the chat rep as to when the courses would be available, but they basically said they don't announce in advance and that we'll just have to wait until they're published on their website.

I tried manually entering the course name into the URL (app.sophia.org/online-courses/principles-of-management) and got the following error message which suggests the course has at least been created in their system:

Error Text: Oops. You're not able to take this course right now. Contact your learning coach for more info.

Update: I just checked the Sophia website and I both see the Principles of Management and Discover the Writer in You courses are now open for registration, but I don't see the Student Success course displayed yet.

Also, the Principles of Management course consists of 4 milestones (i.e. tests), 16 challenge assessments (i.e. quizzes), and 1 touchstone.

While, the Discover the Writer in You course consists of 12 challenge assessments (i.e. quizzes) and 5 touchstones.

Hi! I was wondering if Discover the Writer in You could be transferable to TESU

Possibly. But we don't have any reports of anyone doing so yet. We only know what the courses transfer in as after students report back here.

I see, right! Thank you for explaining this point

Discover the Writer in You seems like an interesting course, I haven't taken it, my membership ran out so I'm focusing on other courses until I want to renew Sophia.org... hopefully when I renew, they'll have some more Upper Level options for me to take a crack at, I love their dashboard/learning management system the most!

I'll try doing several of the "unknown" courses when I renew, but I'm not sure when that's going to be. I'm fairly confident that Principles of Management will transfer to TESU, and I want that. The others would just be for curiosity.

I’m really excited about this. Almost done with College Algebra, so I’ll take a crack at Principles of Management when I’m done in the next few days. I didn’t realize it was UL. I know it shouldn’t duplicate the CLEP, but I’m curious to see how schools will accept it.

I love Sophia, I just wish they had an app like Study.com. Then they’d really be amazing.

Also, COSC needs to get on the ball with their review of Sophia courses. Excelsior already has their page updated with the new courses.

I don't know about all schools, but I do know TESU and EC (at least, in the past):

TESU will bring in both an UL and LL course that are similar, so if they gave Sophia's Management course an UL, it would be MAN-301, and the LL version is MAN-210, and they don't duplicate, and you could use the UL course in the core as your 1 UL core course, or you could use it in the AoS as an UL elective and do the LL in the core.

EC considers them duplicates, you can only bring in either an UL or LL, so you're better off doing the UL if it's available.  Not sure what they'll bring it in as in this instance, but they generally stick to ACE recommendations.

FWIW, Davar's page says that their Principles of Management is UL at TESU. So Sophia's version may well transfer in as UL at TESU.

Responding to an old post, but Davar also said their Managerial Communications came into TESU as MAN-373 and TESU brought it in for me as MAN-273. I didn't fight it because it wasn't necessary for me to have it as UL.

I'm just waiting for the Management touchstone to be graded before sending the latest ACE transcript in to TESU. I will update here whenever they evaluate it. The course was easy enough, the touchstone has taken a few days (although I could definitely have spent more time on it per day, but it just isn't interesting enough to want to do for longer than half an hour or so at a time).
