New Sophia Courses: College Math and Chemistry

[dfrecore]

At TESU, the College Math CLEP comes in as MAT-102 General Math I and MAT-103 General Math II. Since Sophia is only 3 credits, I would guess it'll come in as MAT-102 if it's accepted. Chemistry will probably be either CHE-101 or CHE-104 without lab.

is there a way to get the lab separately somewhere so we can use this course in our degree?

Which school are you going to?  Because you don't need a lab science at most.  TESU doesn't require a lab science.  UMPI requires that your lab and science course be from the same school/provider.  So it depends on where you're going as to whether this will be a viable option or not.

I am working on a degree from TESU,  for the BS in Information Technology my academic advisor gave me a list that included this as one of the requirements:

B: Chem/Phys II 4SH (Not started)
Chemistry II or Physics II - w/Lab

*must earn grades of C or better

For TESU Chemistry and Physics course options, go to

CHE-122 General Chemistry II with Lab

PHY-116 Physics II with Lab 

When I asked her about it, she led me to think I needed sciences with a lab.

Ah - yes, for that particular degree, you must take Chem I & II w/Labs or Physics I & II w/Labs.  This Sophia course will not work, you have to take a Chem course that comes in as CHE-111, and this course will only come in as CHE-101.

You also can't take Study.com's Chem w/lab courses, unfortunately.  Not sure why TESU decided this, as they are supposed to be fairly rigorous.  You CAN take the Physics I & II courses, and then take the labs at TESU though.  They're 1cr courses, so $519 each, and then an additional amount for the actual labs.

SL's Chem I course w/lab also won't work.  I don't think the Physics w/lab works either, although I could be wrong on that one.  You'd have to check.
