PLA Mathematics Help and Advice

[armstrongsubero]

Could someone walk me through the PLA process? Do I have to do the PLA-100 and PLA-200 courses?

I was asking because I was thinking of doing a PLA for data structures.

However I saw that if I do Calc II at Straighterline since I already bought it and Geometry at Study.com I will only need 12 credits to complete a BA in Mathematics!

Any ideas how I can PLA these courses:

Calc III
Linear Algebra

2 UL math courses I'm thinking easy ones:

History of Mathematics and
Mathematics Modelling or
Differential Equations

How does the PLA work, especially for math classes? Any ideas!? Thanks...

You can't PLA math, unfortunately (though there are "certain exceptions")

Sigh, thanks. Guess I'll have to pay for those if I want it. Its hard to see you'll 12 credits away from a degree and cant get it easily..

How many classes are you intending to do at TESU? If you're already taking three (from your other posts, I think I remember you needing Intro to Programming, Data Structures and the Capstone?) then you can basically get two more for free (the tuition is offset by not paying a residency waiver), which couple get you 1/2 of those 12 credits. Also, I think Coopersmith has an UL math course, but not sure if they allow international students

I already did the capstone, so I have 2 more to do. Intro to Programming and Data Structures.

Thanks! I see they have a Concepts in Math and Quantitative Analysis!

Is this where you order courses from them?

I see they use proctorU so I dont think that would be a problem. Did anyone transfer this into TESU? Does it come in as UL?

Hmm if I can do this course then its just 3 I need to do for the math degree. So thats 5 courses in total again at TESU for a BA in Math and BA in Computer Science. If I can cut that down to 4 will be awesome!

Just remember that doing 4 courses at TESU is more expensive than 5, because of the residency waiver.

[armstrongsubero]

@mysonx3 Oh I will have the 16 credits to avoid it paying it if I do 4 more. With the cornerstone and capstone I already did that gave me 4. And the 4 courses will make up 12 giving me the 16 I need! I hope I can shave the off somewhere.

[mysonx3]

Ah I see, I thought you were including the capstone when you said 4 or 5.

I know APUS has some UL math. $810 for a course. Not too cheap but a little cheaper than TESU

[armstrongsubero]

Hmm $810 is still steep, I'm also looking at Statistics.com they have courses for $549! I may get them for $500 since they have a code running. They have quite a bit of UL math courses, though it seems I'll have to wait to do the interesting ones.

I wonder if anyone did courses with them?

[mysonx3]

You'll probably want to check with advising about the Statistics.com courses, I think I remember seeing that some of their classes that sound like math don't count towards the Math AoS. I could be mistaken, but might want to check
