Yup, the cornerstone/capstone is taken at the institution such as a college/university or institute, thus it's RA credit.  ACE/Alternative credit are taken through course providers such as Sophia.org and Study.com, etc...

Oh sweet! So really this looks like it will work! Other than the Sterling College, wont be too bad. I mean I am looking for cheaper options but I doubt I'll find it, to cover RA and UL. I may only be able to take 1 every few months if I am paying $435. I have one class (public speaking) from a community college that should transfer, would that count as RA? I mean it will be LL but if it counts as RA then I could take a cheaper UL at like study right? If not thats okay, I'm just thinking out loud. haha

16 credit term means taking all the classes in one semester, correct? So Like January 2022 I would take all 16 classes and potentially graduate in May? 


You guys are all amazing!

You can take most of your UL through Study.com and/or Coopersmith.  ONU has an UL Latin American History course that covers the non-western History requirement, and it's only $150.  You can also cover that through the World Conflicts UExcel exam.  Both are RA credit.

Your best bet is to plan out every single course you need/want, in this order:
1) RA credit that is easily/cheaply obtained (and yes your Public Speaking course will count); the RA credit does NOT need to be UL or in the major or anything, just 24cr that will fit into the degree; plan 8 courses
2) UL credit in the major
3) LL credit in the major
4) required courses that check the box in each area of GE

So you will want to create a spreadsheet that looks very much like the TESU degree plan, with a column for the course #/name, a column showing where you will take it, a column counting credit that you have taken, a column counting credit that you have left to take (these 2 add up to 120cr); a column counting RA credit, and a column counting UL credit; and a column with the prices.

I make mine "pretty" and nicely laid out so I can really understand it, and then I count RA and UL credits outside of the "pretty" part.  Kind of off to the side.

If you can find RA credit that counts towards your major coursework, that's fine, but not 100% necessary.  But, if you really want to take some courses at Sterling, plan those in accordingly.
