Unfortunately, COSC doesn't take Coopersmith so that's out of the question. Straighterline only has LL classes. Saylor's only UL option for Charter Oak would be Software engineering.

There are several more possibilities on SDC if you're open to another course there. Employment law, small business management, advanced operations management, project management, industrial/organizational psychology. I have not taken these, I just see that they transfer to COSC as UL courses.

If you don't want another SDC course, your best option may be to take a TECEP because those count as RA credits. Several of the business/management TECEPs are UL.

Hey, sorry, I made the mistake of not saying the courses were from study.com, and I edited it to specify courses *from study.com*. I'm curious what this site will be like compared to Sophia, and how these courses will be in particular. From what I can gather it's the best place to get UL credits, and my academic advisor recommended I take those courses from study.com. 

I took Project Management and although I thought it would be an UL course it appears to now be a LL course at COSC. I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but it's listed as PM 1001 for me whereas Sophia originally listed it as a 400 level course at COSC I think.

Hopefully you will get some help from someone who has taken those courses.  I took BUS-311 but most of my Study.com courses have been in computer science.  As far as BUS-311 went I found the lessons (I read instead of watching the videos because it is faster but if you are a visual learner the videos may be more helpful) were more than adequate to learn the material.  Knowing I would do reasonably well on the exam I didn't put much effort into the assignment.  If you feel you will not do well on the exam then put extra effort into the assignment and that will lower the passing score you need on the exam.  I am currently waiting for a new billing cycle to take my next exam and I only need 14/100 on it because of my quiz and assignment scores.  That is pretty low stress.

That is the other rule on SDC.  You get 3 tries to get 100 on the quizzes.  DO NOT screw that up or you are making the exam more critical to achieving a passing score.

Remember from a billing standpoint it is more economical to take more exams per month than only two so try to go as fast as you can and still pass.  If you really love the material and want to study it more later you can always pay $40 to do that.  Right now focus on getting credit.

You can complete all courses on the $60 plan and then submit the work and do exams on the $199 plan. This way you don't waste too much money and time studying with the expensive plan.

I'm working towards a BSBA and some of the content overlaps with Principles of Management, so by the time I got to this class I had quizzes filled in, and the basic concepts overlap in general so it was easy enough to pick up. I enjoyed writing the paper. You have to analyze the org structure of a real or fictitious company, so I made up a company based on some of my past experience and wrote about it.
