Study.com and TESU equivalency confusion

[aviator guy]

Ok, I don't have time to wait for a response from TESU so I'm throwing this out there.


I need a personal/social responsibility course for TESU. https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2...efore2.cfm

According to the Study.com official transfer guide, Geography 101 comes in as GOG-120 at TESU. Problem is that I can't find a corresponding course in the catalog.

So, will this count for personal/social responsibility or not? If no, anyone know of anything that will, either in this category or the ethics? There are a lot of similar courses, but none directly translate to the list above.

Bonus question - does study have anything that counts for ethics? Running into same issue as above

Nice, you're in the 2015 catalog year or earlier... that's good, I assume you have a degree plan in hand?
Anyways, that course will work for the requirement for Personal/social Responsibility...
And to answer the bonus, they do have a Business Ethics course that comes into TESU.
It's Study.com's Business 108: Business Ethics, comes in as TESU PHI-384 : Ethics and the Business Professional

IIRC intro to sociology, intro to world religions and american government would also fit the PSR category. You can search the forum through google, much easier to target info or check the forum wiki site.

Thanks all.. Hope to have one or both completed before I could even get an email back from advising :coolgleam:

Yes on 2015/no on the plan... well, I had one but it was created before study.com was a thing.

The course numbers were what threw me off... I wasn't able to find anyone that had a confirmed transfer.

Have you considered the free ethics course that comes in as the same equivalency?

Assuming you are speaking of The Institutes...

Definitely... but, 2 credits. I'm on the Study.com scholarship so if I take it through study it costs me nothing, vs having to make up another two credits with another course elsewhere (that I'll likely have to pay for)

You only need to make up 1 credit in the General Ed electives. There are easy options for free to make up that credit. You can use the extra Study.com exam you'll be saving for another course that is harder to find and/or UL if you need that still. One of the free TEEX courses is good for Gen Ed and makes up the credit. Just a suggestion.

Plenty of other courses at study that you would be better served with.

To clarify -

I have the TEEX courses; I also have a 1 credit lab. If I can pull this off, I may be able to squeak under the wire for the July 1 deadline to apply for graduation for my AS. I realize that in the long run I may be cutting my nose off to spite my face (since I'll have more to do for my BS) but it's just a little nick, not the whole thing. I have to (rather it would be foolish not to) take two courses via study this month, may as well make them count toward the short term. The other three will come via StraighterLine. Ambitious, I know.... however, I've been averaging about 6 courses per month lately - I can do it if I want to.


... or not, who knows.

I just came to this realization today after putting everything together, thus my need for an expedient answer.

You do know that you don't have to have your credits in by July 1? You just have to apply for graduation by then. The credits can come in as late as mid August.
