Mathematics courses suitable for a major that are totally delivered online? - OE800_85 - 06-17-2012
Are there many choices for this? At TESC they have a few math courses, and most of them are online, however I am just curious about the other options. TESC often uses proctorU for their tests, so you can have an entirely online course, without a need to sit an exam or anything. Any other choices, it would be great if textbooks were available in ebook form as well.

Could you use ALEKS Intermediate Algebra or Algebra? They are both 100 level courses at TESC. Shouldn't take you too long since you did Stats and College Math already.

Unfortunately ALEKS doesn't count towards the major, except possibly their STATS, and I've already done pretty much every course with them for the sake of review.
Thomas Edison State College: Mathematics
"Note: The following courses are examples of the types of mathematics courses that CANNOT be used in the mathematics area of study: college algebra, finite math, precalculus, trigonometry. These courses are not advanced level mathematics courses."
Most likely it would have to be a community college/university course that was online, with online tests. I suppose Ohio U's math tests would also suffice. On the page they list some suggested courses:
