Biology Degree from TESU - Is Lumerit helpful?

[sanantone]

Sanantone,

Do you know if the Straighterline microbiology course is considered UL at TESU? It's listed as a lower level course on Straighterline.

I'll need 18 credit hours worth of 300-400 level science courses for the biology degree.

Thanks so much for all the great insights! I really do appreciate it.

Yes, it is UL. I took it and transferred it. Microbiology is always considered UL at TESU unless it comes from a community college. Here are some important things to understand about TESU. They don't care about how ACE or the original school has evaluated the course when it comes to UL and LL. If TESU offers the course as UL, or it is listed as UL in their PLA database, then it will always come in as UL. The exception would be community college courses. CC courses are always LL at TESU. TESU will sometimes even downgrade a course that is UL at another school if it is listed as LL at TESU. Sometimes, they'll be nice and create a generic, UL course code i.e. BIO-399.

You can verify how a course will transfer at this link. Microbiology transfers as BIO-351.
