Need Help Planning For My HS Daughter - XNutty98 - 06-17-2025
My daughter is going into her senior year and she's planning on attending LU in the Fall of 2026.
My goal is to get her at least her gen eds and possibly some electives mainly through Sophia. I have no other experience with any other platform but will look into Straighterline and others if needed.
She's not 100% on her major yet but she wants to go into Psychology (Psychologist most likely).
She hasn't taken any college level credit as of yet and attends LUOA so she has a lot of free time to do Sophia classes.
THANKS!!

Yes, I highly recommend to start with the freebie at Sophia Learning and if you want, try Study.com College Starter at $95/month afterwards, 2 at a time, unlimited classes per month. This is to get them more familiar with the online learning platforms available.

We need your help. Tell rising juniors and seniors they can take 6 courses for free this summer!

To save time and money, I suggest maxing out alternative credit (up to the 90-credit limit).
This degree plan can help you map out the general education requirements, and you should be able to plan the rest from there.

Have you had any discussions with LU and/or LUOA admin/admissions regarding transfer credits? It may be worthwhile to do so before investing time and effort. All the best to you and your daughter.
