Question About edX Statistics Courses

[csbachelor]

I am close to obtaining my second BA from TESU in Mathematics.  I have a previous BACS from TESU.  I need one more upper level math course (Part F AOS Electives Upper Level on the My Progress page).

I have already taken Coopersmith MAT-301 and the SAS Advanced Programmer Certificate.  I was planning to take another upper level course at a different school but I was surprised to find the LSE edX Statistics Fundamentals microbachelors transfers as STA-3210.  This took me by surprise because it isn't listed on the sample BA Mathematics Degree Plan.  So I thought I had already exhausted all of my non-traditional methods to get upper level Math credits.

My questions: (1) is the edX certificate still accepted as upper level statistics?  (2) does that satisfy Part F credits for the Math degree? As far as I can tell it should work for my degree plan.

On TESU’s landing page about EdX courses TESU has independently evaluated for credit, including LSE EdX Statistics Fundamentals, please note this in the main body text near the top of the page:

Note: Students wishing to enroll at TESU may only use these credits toward the Associates of Applied Science in Computer Studies or the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science programs

So this basis to transfer the credit would not not apply toward your BA in Mathematics. A few EdX courses have credit recommendations from ACE and can transfer to TESU on that basis, but LSE EdX Statistics Fundamentals doesn’t have that ACE recommendation.

You might want to tell us what you have and what is remaining in the AOS, your math major classes... It'll be easier for us to know what you've got and what can be taken, you need 24 credit hours that are newer (taken after you conferred your CS degree).
