Firstly, what a general topic. Secondly, where can I find a cheap class on "Non-Western Literature?"

Many of us have been looking for a cheap class for a couple years. The only way seems to be if you have an in-state (community) college with one. We found one or two in the $600 range, but I could never find the course actually available in a term. I believe the best that is regularly available is over $700.

TESU is going to be your best bet for it, I hate to tell you. They have "Non Western Lit" in a 400 course or "African Encounters" in a 300 course. I took African Encounters
Study.com - 177 CR. TESU - 39 CR. Middle Georgia State University - 15 CR. Sonoran Desert Institute - 42 CR. COSC - 6 CR. Excelsior - 6 CR. CLEP - 6 CR. Sophia - 14 CR. TEEX - 2 CR. Shmoop - 18 CR. NFA - 4 CR. The Institutes - 2 CR. FEMA - 20ish


BA in History/English from TESU. BA in Communications from TESU. AS in Firearms Technology from SDI.

Yeah probably. My local CC has a Non Western Lit course and they are only ~$100/credit, however this course is only offered in person and not online. Check your local CC and see if they have one.

I could swear someone posted recently about a course somewhere that was relatively cheap and looked promising for meeting this requirement, but now I can't find the thread.

I doubt those will work. TESU said no to other "World Lit" because they had some European and/or North American content.
