Recommendations For 18 LL or 9 UL Social Science Credits

[harrypotter]

So i'm looking to get a teacher intern permit in social science while enrolled in a teacher program but I need at least 18 LL or 9 UL social science RA credits (history, government, geography, economics) to be eligible for it. I strongly prefer competency based/ self paced. It's so weird - I've been on the forum for years but i'm going blank here. I'm thinking UMPI might be my best bet but is there anything cheaper? I'm looking for fast & cheap - any recommendations? Thanks in advance :]

I'm also trying to find fast intro to special education, educational psychology & classroom management courses to transfer into the program- has anyone seen these around?

If your state accepts ACE or NCCRS alt-credit on an RA school's transcript like an TESU Individual Learning Account or enrolled student transcript or an Excelsior OneTranscript, or for ACE maybe a UMPI enrolled student transcript, there are options from Sophia (most or all LL), and study.com (mostly ACE, potentially some UL) and Coopersmith (NCCRS so not at UMPI; potentially some UL).

But that's a big if.

Yes, the TESU credit bank is your best bet, I would skip Excelsior as I recall they 'stopped' that feature or now charging $400 or something similar. If your state allows ACE/NCCRS that would be your best option. Having said that, if you need RA and LL, your community college may be a good option as well. If you're looking at UL, then doing so at UMPI may be a choice...

By the numbers, I'm going to say that UMPI will probably be the cheapest option. Unless your local CC has exceptionally cheap classes!

Most UMPI students are able to complete 4-6 UMPI classes per session. Especially History classes taught by Dr. Z. That works out to $250-$375 per class - not per credit. It's about $83-$125 per credit. No books or other hidden fees.

The only cheaper way would be SDC and Sophia courses transferred to TESU "because you're pursuing a certificate". (You don't actually have to complete the certificate. You can always "change your mind" later.)
