Quantitative Analysis: CSM vs Coopersmith? - SCYankee - 03-03-2023
Leaning towards a BSBA from Excelsior as my best option. They require Quantitative Analysis. My new degree plan has enough UL credits, so I can take either the CSM or Coopersmith version.
Which is easier, better, more organized, clearer, and less like the college algebra and statistics courses that I loathed?

IIRC, you need to take the Coopersmith version because the CSM one doesn't count for this requirement for a Business degree.

Okay, so the UL isn't the issue.
Can you please explain what IIRC is?

I also ran into some crap with Excelsior about accepting the CSM course. They would accept it, but it would not count as a quantitative analysis course. This, and some other reasons, is why I ended up at TESU over Excelsior.
If you can find a school that accepts CSM as your quantitative credit, I do highly recommend the CSM course. I'm a total math phobe and found CSM to be a brilliant way to present and teach material... almost fun... and if you set your mind to it, you can knock through it quickly. (I finished the entire course in a weekend.)

TESU accepts it. For a business degree, a student would need: Algebra (Sophia), Statistics (Sophia again), and CSM. As far as everything goes, it's a pretty easy way to meet TESU's math requirements.

At Excelsior, if you want the BSB, you must take Coopersmith's MAT-303: Quantitative Analysis. The CSM course is nothing like this, so I can understand why they don't consider this course "enough" for their degree.
