Trying to get a degree fast

[ss20ts]

Info Lit, Cornerstone, and Capstone can only be taken at Excelsior.

English 2: ONU's College Writing II SHOULD work for this, but you'd need to talk to the registrar about this. Advisors are under the impression that it won't even transfer to EC in the first place, which is highly unlikely. In the off chance that it won't work for English II, English 205: English Composition II at Study.com should be marginally easier than Sophia's English Comp II.

Natural Science: Not sure what you have, but Sophia has 3 courses that should work: Human Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry.

History and Systems of Psychology: Check with an advisor, but Psychology 312: History and Systems of Psychology should work. (counts as LL)

Biopsychology: I think this one is Psychology 311: Physiological Psychology (UL)?

Abnormal Psych: Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology (LL, Study.com doesn't have UL abnormal Psych), Coopersmith's Abnormal Psychology (PSY-302) (should be UL), UExcel Abnormal Psych PSYx310.

Assuming you haven't gotten any of Sophia's 1-credit courses, you can also get the 1`credit there when you get the science. Or just do a random 3-credit course and go over by 2 credits. I would probably take 2 sciences to make sure that at least one of them will work.

Thanks for the response I appreciate it! It's good to know that Sophia has 1 credit courses.
I already got 27UL after ACTFL, so LL psychology courses would be no problem foe me.

TESU didn't give you the max 24 credits for your ACTFL exams? Interesting, I would have thought they would! I recommend taking more Sophia.org for courses that apply to the remaining credits you're missing (1 credit courses are hard to find, take the 3 credit ones instead).

1)English 2 - Sophia.org or Study.com
2)Natural Science - Sophia.org, Biology, Chem, Environmental Science
3)History and System Psychology - Study.com if it's accepted as UL
4)Biopsychology - EC
5)Abnormal Psychology - Study.com if they accept this as equivalent transfer
6)Information Literacy - EC
7)Corner stone - EC
8)Capstone - EC

If you are getting a Psych degree, I think you still need a minimum number of UL Psych credits. If you are getting BALS/BSLS with Psych as a concentration or whatever, I agree that you don't have to worry about UL credits.

There is also a BSLS with Psych concentration? I think I applied for BS in Psychology(It shows Bachelor in Science,School of Liberal Arts, Major/cocentration in Psychology on the evauluation), It does show that I still need 3 UL credits in Psychology.

Thanks for the course suggestion I appreciate it!
I got 73cr for EC and 76cr for TESU before taking the ACTFL exam. However I only have 7 credits in free electives for TESU, which means I could only get 7 credits from the ACTFL exam. On the other hand I have 25 credits in free elective for EC so the 2 ACTFL exam almost filled every thing. TESU also put few of my psychology courses in the free elective and put two of my UL psychology courses as LL.

For TESU - Can you do a "What if I change my program" option to review two more academic evaluations? I would like to see a BALS Psychology and a BALS Social Sciences. That is somewhat interesting... I would recommend sticking with Excelsior College for max transfer, but TESU seems better though, I just dislike the Excelsior name too much (it's just me I guess).

I just tried the "What if I change my program" , It's almost identical to the Psychology one. I'm fine with the EC name because it's still a RA school, I‘m not too worried about it(not yet).

As long as you're in the US, EC is okay as a name. For people who are in other countries, there could be issues with the "College" part of EC or COSC. Because, in at least some other countries, a "college" is not a degree-granting institution. At best, they might award 1- or 2-year diplomas that are not quite the same as our Associate degrees. So, someone saying that they got a 4-year degree from a "college" may be viewed with suspicion in those countries.

Thank you, I also heard that EC used to have a $1000 enrollment fee(residence fee like TESU?), and they somehow dropped it few month ago? Is this true?
