Well, I'll copy over what I just recommended elsewhere...

[Psychology]To add to this, as I just finished this degree with TESU -- "Ethics in the Social Sciences" is one required TESU course that is currently not offered by any ACE credit-by-exam/alternative credit courses currently. This would help quite a bit.

Also, History and Systems of Psychology (required) is only available through Coopersmith Consulting (NCCRS), and it was a terrible setup and test. I would have gladly paid more than the approx $200 they charged to go a better route.

Likewise, Coopersmith Consulting is currently the only ones offering Physiological Psychology (another Pscyh degree requirement at TESU), and I imagine that setup would be similar to their History and Systems setup, though I don'thave experience with that (I took that as an online course elsewhere).

Offering Psych options is a win-win because it's a popular major and there are some gaps in it being more test-friendly. Obviously I'm biased, but I'd love to see more options.


[Sociology]
Okay, I'm biased here too since this was my Associate's "major," but this is also very under-served in the alternative credit world. Though I imagine there probably isn't as much demand for it like Psych or Business so I understand why we don't see as much. But if you wanted to venture in to it, again with TESU in mind...

The required course "Social Theory" currently has no options currently. It'd be great to see that. But as stated, UL elective options are especially lacking.
