UL Finance Credit for TESU - amaquiling - 07-25-2019

Hi all,

I am thinking of pursuing an Undergraduate certificate with Bachelors at TESU. These are the courses required for it according to TESU's website:
  • Corporate Finance or International Economics
  • Financial Institutions and Markets
  • Security Analysis and Portfolio Management
Students select nine(9) credits from the following
  • Advanced Security Analysis & Portfolio Management (3)
  • International Finance & Trade (3)
  • Principles of Finance (3)
  • Public Finance (3)
  • Risk Management (3)

I am under the impression that other UL Finance classes can also be counted towards this degree, since my advisor told me that FIN-314 (Small Business Finance) can count towards this cert. My current plan is to take Corporate Finance, International Finance & Trade and Principles of Finance through Davar Academy, and Financial Institutions and Markets, Small Business Finance and Security Analysis and Portfolio Management through Study.com.

Does anyone know of affordable sources of UL Finance credit other than those two? I know Penn Foster and CSU-Global have some UL Finance credit options, but Davar and Study.com have been the most cost-friendly options I have found.

I did ECO 300: Money and Banking at Ed4Credit. It transferred in as ECO-231, but counted in the electives for the finance certificate. I remember this class as being very difficult and it is expensive at regular price, but I had a half off coupon.

The DSST Money and Banking exam would probably be a better alternative to the Ed4Credit class. It is definitely upper level. If I remember correctly, it doesn't duplicate the Ed4Credit class if that becomes important.

The Davar classes are definitely the first option for all the classes you mention.

I also took these two TECEPs at TESU, but study.com now has these classes. It is still an alternative option if you need it.
