Need help with TESC plan for classes

[contactmail]

I only need to take the following classes to complete my degree:

Bus in Soc/Int'l Mgt
Systs Analy & Design
Princ of Finance

Anyone have any suggestions for courses I can use to meet these requirements? I can't take CLEP or DSST tests because of my location so I'm looking for cheap and fast online classes.

For the first, try Penn Foster College. Their International Business course is the equivalent of TESC/DSST Business Ethics & Society. I have no idea about the second one, but it's possible you could find that course at PF as well. One word of caution, PF does not have regional accreditation so whatever courses you take MUST be approved by ACE or they won't transfer. Ignore whatever PF may tell you, always confirm the course can be found here first AND that the approval is still current (e.g. "Dates Offered: 3/1/2011 - Present"):

ACE CREDIT | The National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training

As for Principles of Finance, do NOT take the PF course because it's no longer ACE-approved so I'd recommend giving KCTCS a try:

KCTCS - everything you need to know

One final note: you didn't say which school these courses are for so make sure that these courses will transfer there. If you attending COSC, EC or TESC, they should. Good luck!

Bus in Soc/Int'l Mgt - Penn Foster BUS430 International Business
Sys Analy & Design - Adams State College BUS 425: System Analysis and Design
Princ of Finance - Penn Foster FIN101 Financial Management

Thank you both! I will go with PF for the first two. Do either of you know how many webinars are required for the PF classes? Also TJD how was the Adams class and how long would it take to complete it?

If you're willing to wait, it looks like straighter line is developing a course currently for business in society/ethics that should work for you.

For the second, does network technology count? If so why not do a tecep exam? As long as you find a suitable proctor, you can take your exams anywhere in the world. I just got mLy proctor approved in shanghai, china. I doubt you'd have a harder time than me.
