It should come in as BUE-101: Personal Finance - and will be a Free Elective no matter which degree you get.

Will confirm in a week or two when I transfer the new Sophia courses to TESU.

Just curious if you found out about the new courses and the TESU equivalencies yet?  I'm taking this one as I've worked in Financial Services in one aspect or another most of my career.   I figured it'll be pretty easy credits for me due to my background if I can fit them into the degree plan somewhere.

Not yet. I'm going to try to finish up the database course in a couple of days before submitting a transcript. I was NOT expecting it to take this much work! It's not difficult but the whole thing is essentially a self-study Touchstone/project. So you cannot just blast through the Challenges/Milestones even if you understand everything.

The financial course is easy. The database course is... wow.

No worries.   Just thought I'd ask.  I'm taking it anyway...already through the first Milestone.    That database course sounds like a real bear.   Since I'm planning on a History degree I'll pass on that one.   Big Grin
