Looking for a bit of clarity on the CSM Learn as I work on Sophia.org courses. I know that the CSM Learn is BUS-210 Quantitative Methods for Decision Makers at TESU.
The BSBA has two basic "math" requirements. There is Quantitative Literacy and then Mathematics in Gen Ed.
BUS210 seems to fall under the Mathematics, which leaves me Quantitative Literacy. The Quantitative Literacy should be a College Algebra.
So, Sophia's College Algebra should fit Quantitative Literacy and CSM should fit Mathematics? Am I thinking correctly.
Could avoid College Algebra by taking Stats? I'm already through most of Sophia's Stats. LOL

CSM Learn will go in as Stats. Not College Algebra.

Sophia’s College Algebra is doable! I too was dreading College Algebra, but I passed it!! Have you tried it? Or you could try Aleks math (directly or via ASU).
I think a lot of people fear those old high school nemesis courses bc we had bad experiences with them. But for most of us, there was no internet when we went through. No extra help. You either got it or you didn’t - too bad if you didn’t.
Sophia could use more (optional) practice problems. I highly recommend working the examples with them on any topics you aren’t getting immediately, and taking notes. Khan Academy has more practice problems, though some of khan’s questions seem to be worded more challenging imho - sal Khan totally scared me away from logarithms, which are silly easy once you get them (thank you Sophia!!), and know how to plug them into a calculator. You just rearrange the exponential, (which is just a fancy name for a number with a variable in the exponent, like 2 to the x power). They undo each other, just like subtraction undoes addition. Easy!

CSM can go into lots of different places. It can replace business statistics, it can serve as a science class, it can also work as a general elective. It’s very flexible. In regards to the other math class you need to graduate. I completed College algebra through straighterline. It was challenging, but absolutely doable if you go through everyone of the problems and make sure you understand the concepts. Augmenting the lessons with YouTube videos and working through a graphing calculator helped immensely. You can do it!
Current Course(s): Business Administration Capstone BUS-421 (TESU)
AMU (9); CSM (3); CLEP (15); DSST (3); InstantCert (15); Institutes (3); Military (51); Sophia (6); Straighterline (15); Study.com (6); Thomas Edison State University (3); University of Alaska (12)

Good point on the old HS nemesis! As far as where I am, I am done with Sophia STATS and was very doable to get through. In the interim, I completed American History I and then Project Management. Both quite nice to complete.
On Sophia Algebra, I started this morning and worked through the third milestone with a 97%. I suppose I could just breeze through i but I like the learning aspect.
Thus far, the SOPHIA offer has resulted in Stats, Am History I (replaced a CLEP!!) and Project Management. 12 hours. Not too shabby thus far.

Hi! I just took CSM Learn and am wondering the same question. Did your CSM learn certificate go in as stats or college algebra? I'm also aiming for the BSBA GM at TESU.
Aiming for TESU BSBA-GM, ASNSM in Biology, ASNSM in Computer Science

It will transfer as TESU STA-201 Principles of Statistics
WGU MBA 2022
WGU BSBA IT Management 2021
I'm done with school for a while. Time to go make some $ now!

It's supposed to send a badge invitation, I finished the course over the past weekend and haven't received the badge invitation yet so I've contacted their support email. Waiting for their reply.

I'd like to know if it transfers first before I purchase it.
