Transfer 113 to BS in Business (General Business Concentration) - mcvjones - 03-14-2024

Hello, 

I am new to Degree Forum. I am trying to transfer 113 of the 120 credits to Excelsior University. I have found how to transfer most of the classes in except the following:
  • BUS 323 - Business Ethics (Maybe from Sophia, not confirmed)
  • BUS 231 - Business Data Literacy
  • BUS 431 - Business Data Analysis
  • BUS 222 - Business Communication (Maybe from Sophia, not confirmed)
Has anyone transferred these in from a 3rd party website? Or know where I can? I would really appreciate any help. Thank you!

Merging your threads, it's good that you're asking questions, but there really isn't a need to have two threads going in different sub forums... Patience, ask your advisor what other options are available, did you also check Study.com and their equivalency for Excelsior? How about StraighterLine and any other provider? You should give us a heads up what you've tried already so we don't recommend trying the same thing...

Half of these don't seem to have easy equivalents outside of Excelsior. For this reason, UMPI is going to be the best choice for most students who just want a basic business degree.

I'm going to piggyback on this, hoping that somebody who knows might chuime in (and not recommend UMPI instead).

For the BS in Business at Excelsior, these are my ideas to meet the "degree-specific reqs". The ones in parenthesis are courses I'll need to complete.

ACC211 Financial Accounting: SOPHIA Financial Accounting

ACC212 Managerial Accounting: (SDC Accounting 102 Intro to Managerial Accounting)?
OR (SDC Finance 301 Applied managerial Accounting)?
OR (SDC Finance 306 Small Business Finance)?

BUS230 Business Law: SOPHIA Business Law

IT221 Intro to Computers: SOPHIA Introduction to Information Technology

BUS222 Business Communication: UL (SDC Business 305 Leadership Communication)?

BUS341 Management Concepts and Applications: UL (SDC Business 321 Small Business Management)

BUS351 Marketing Concepts and Applications: UL (SDC Marketing 302 Consumer Behavior)

BUS350 Principles of Finance: SOPHIA Principles of Finance?

BUS435 International Business: UL (SDC Business 308 Globalization and Intl)

BUS323 Business Ethics: UL (SDC Business 310 Advanced Business Ethics)

ECO260 Intro to Microeconomics: SOPHIA Microeconomics

ECO262 Intro to Macroeconomics: SOPHIA Macroeconomics

MAT114 Intermediate Algebra: SOPHIA College Algebra

BUS231 Business Data Literacy: (SDC Business 303 Management Info Systems)?

BUS311 Organizational Behavior: UL (SDC Business 307 Leadership & Organizational Behavior)

BUS431 Business Data Analysis: (SDC Business 212 Business Statistics)?

Business Elective: UL (SDC Marketing 306 Principles of Selling)

Business Elective: UL (SDC Marketing 302 Consumer Behavior)

Quantitative Analysis: (Coopersmith MATH-303 Quant Analysis)?
OR (CSM Learn)?

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Here is the mapping from Excelsior for Study and Sophia:

CooperSmith looks like your best bet for the quantitative requirement.

FYI - it looks like you have Consumer Behavior listed twice.

First, thanks for the tip about listing the one course twice. It was a last minute addition.

Secondly, I had seent eh course transfer lists at Sophia and SDC but not Excelsior's version.

The one for SDC is a little tough, because it only shows one UL course, but I need more.

However, I see that Excelsior now requires me to do Business Writing and Business Data Analysis at Excelsior (besides the capstone, cornerstone and info lit, which I already knew). That's the first I've heard about that. There's no way around it?

Well, it seems there is, because the SDC list is vague and general for the most part.

Business Data Analysis is only accepted through Coopersmith Learning (Quantitative Analysis). It's super easy if you memorize the powerpoint. I took the exam the same day. 
If you go this route PM me, and I can give you some pointers. There's not much information in the instructions.
