The cheapest 3-credit Calculus II online course?

Community College for sure.

Be careful with Brandman - depends on where you want to transfer the credits to. TESU won't take that course IIRC.

TESU may be awful at offering advisement, but they aren't easy to fool. How do the Westcott courses show up on the Brandman transcript?

This is one of those tricky deals - I think I've figured out how it works (same as TEL): the course provider is actually who Brandman uses for their courses (meaning if you enrolled at Brandman and took let's say Calc I, you'd actually take the Westcott course).  So, since it's the exact same material, Brandman also allows someone who takes the Westcott course to get credit through them.  Again, it's not credit laundering, because it's the exact same course material, same grading, etc.  It's just going through a backdoor instead of the main entrance.

Collin County College in Texas classes are about $300

So the advice to avoid Westcott in order to transfer Calculus 2 to TESU stands?

https://westcottcourses.com/c/calculus-2/UM

Or it could be even more general, meaning that no Westcott courses would transfer to TESU?

@MrPanda, if you're going to TESU for a BA Math, you can get the Calculus II using ACE alternative credits at StraighterLine. If you're going to be taking 16 credits, I would maximize whatever courses you can get with those 16 credits instead of paying there residency waiver fee. In fact, you can use the 16 credits towards a second Bachelors. The main thing you need to make sure of is, 30RA credits must be in each degree, meaning you can use your general education/free electives for both degrees using the RA credits... the majors for both can be using the ACE alternative credit.

Yes, I´m still contemplating my options studying the doble majors or double bachelors, and now I´m advacing with credits that I´ll use anyway in any path.

Some of the options I was thinking about was the CIS/BSBA, Math/CS, or the ASBA + BACS and Math, but yes, Math seems a bit difficult to complete, because of the prerequisites.


In this case: " the majors for both can be using the ACE alternative credit. " <- I guess that in this case the main problems would be:
Calculus III
Linear Algebra (There was some discussion about this course, not sure if it was for CS, for Math, or both)

And then the electives, since in the TESU BA Math plan they use Westcott, but may TESU won´t accept it, right?

From the Mathematics electives (https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/ba/mathematics), it seems like TESU only offers:

TESU MAT-332 Calculus IV (Differential Equations)
TESU MAT-301 History of Mathematics
TESU MAT-351 Mathematical Modeling
TESU MAT-401 Mathematical Logic

And I need five Math Electives.

I asked about these other courses:

1) MATU 211 / Linear Algebra at Westcott Courses / Umass Global, at Westcott they mentioned Calculus I as a prerequisite for Linear Algebra, however, they were okay with it being Calculus I from UoPeople, or the Saylor exam.
But if we can´t transfer it to TESU, then there´s no point.

2) West Texas A&M Self-Paced / MATH 3342C Differential Equations has Calculus II as a prerequisite, but they won´t accept the Calculus II straighter line course:
"College credit would need to be achieved at an accredited institution to be counted toward your prerequisites. Please let me know if you have any questions, and we can answer them when our office reopens on January 3."
And they sent me this link:
https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home
Sadly even when UoPeople appears in that Database, I can´t take Calculus 2 there, since there´s only Calculus at UoPeople.

Then other option could be APU?

APU ISSC266 / Cryptography Concepts / Information Technology / Undergraduate <- ISSC, not MATH
APU ISSC366 / IT Security: Cryptography / Information Technology / Undergraduate <- ISSC, not MATH

I guess these won´t work because of the code?

APU MATH460 / Principles of Applied Mathematics / Mathematics / Undergraduate
APU MATH360 / Mathematics History and Development / Mathematics / Undergraduate
APU MATH340 / Multivariate Statistics / Mathematics / Undergraduate

Thanks for your time.

They also offer Geometry (MAT-361): https://www2.tesu.edu/listall.php#eval-math

You might want to review the catalog and the credit distribution tab, it's got all the info on recommended upper level requirements for the AOS, it shows 15 credit required/15 electives. You only need 18 UL, 15 from the AOS and 3 from the Capstone, and you don't have to follow exactly what it has either, it's just that - a recommended course list. You can take everything from TESU, or transfer them in if you're using the 16 credits to get a dual degree... https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/Current/...athematics

I highly recommend you do as many alternative credits as possible and use the 16 credits at TESU in a double term, one term for a few courses over 9 credits, and another term to do the double capstone. You may want to mix and match that as I don't think it's possible to do all 16 credits in one term when you're taking all Upper Level and 2 capstones.

Mr Panda, how did you do it in the end? Having trouble fulfilling calculus 3 unfortunately.

[MrPanda]

I´m still completing CS/CIS courses + Certificate in Finance.

I´ll finish those before trying to get the Math ones.
