BALS UL Options - Reece4128 - 02-10-2019
Greetings,
I tried a few times to look this up but didn't find much: What are the options for UL credit by exam for the BALS with TESU? I have read a few threads but I have seen lots of people use either Straighterline or Saylor, I am trying to use only CLEP DSST or TECEP. I have also noticed that some of the courses people have used, mainly the Vietnam and Civil War DSST tests, are advertised as lower level by TESU but I have heard otherwise. If anyone could just point me to a short list of options that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

All CLEP's are LL, just FYI.
Here's the list of TECEP's - TESU TECEP
It looks like there's only 2-3 that will be UL for the BALS
I'm not familiar with how the DSST's transfer in, but from the TESU website it looks like there's 2-3 that will work for it there.
I did all my UL BALS credits from Study.com. It was relatively painless and good practice for the Capstone.

Some of the study.com UL options I can suggest are: History & Systems of Psychology, Psychology of Personality, Organizational theory, Organizational Communication, Sociology of Work & I/O Psychology. All these UL options require you to write research papers. But as TexasTink says, they serve as a good prep for the capstone.

Things have changed over the years, courses are getting upgraded/downgraded by ACE/NCCRS at review cycles, TESU changes their policies on what they consider UL/LL over time, etc. So going by old info on this forum isn't always helpful (although it's a starting place).
As of now, the following providers have exams/courses that will work in BALS
DSST UL
Money and Banking
Substance Abuse
History of the Soviet Union
Fundamentals of Cybersecurity
TECEP UL ($225/exam)
Managerial Communications
Marketing Communications
Abnormal Psychology
