Study.com Upgraded courses? - romoh - 11-26-2019

Hello guys, 

I've seen this somewhere here but I need a confirmation. 

Did study.com upgrade the following courses to Upper Level? 

Physiological Psychology
Abnormal Psychology
Advanced Social Psychology


RE: Study.com Upgraded courses? - jsh1138 - 11-26-2019

no, Advanced Abnormal Psych 306 is the UL version of Abnormal Psych 106. Advanced Social Psych is the UL version of Social Psych. Physiological Psych was always UL as far as I know

Physiological Psych was indeed lower level until recently

I highly recommend viewing the ACE Credit Registry for Study.com and any other provider. Since it is close to year end, most likely any update they make to their recommendation would be AFTER the new year. But, review their link now and review it after the holidays, you should complete the courses you want when it's recommended for UL.

Yes, they upgraded PSY 311: Physiological Psychology and PSY 316: Advanced Social Psychology on 8/1/19 (although it takes a while to show up as such in the ACE database).

They did NOT upgrade PSY 106: Abnormal Psychology or PSY 306: Advanced Abnormal Psychology, those are both still LL.

ACE not being updated yet is what confused me. So in terms of UL Psych courses, Study.com has only the following 5: 

History and Systems of Psychology
Physiological Psychology
Advanced Social Psychology
Industrial/Organizational Psychology
Psychology of Personality

Is that accurate?

Correct.

Also, if you're at TESU, they bring BUS 323: Organizational Theory in as PSY-360, so that's 1 more UL Psych course for you.  If you're at another school, YMMV.

Those still transfer as LL to TESU, right?

They haven't been evaluated yet, so I'm hoping they'll be UL (matching ACE) when they finally do.
