Initial Questions About BA History (T
#1
I started researching how to reach my goal of a bachelor's in history and initially landed on TESU (because there is so much information about it on this forum relative to the other schools). Using a plan online and some independent research, I was able to create my AOS plan and much of my general education plan by the end of the day. AOS plan looks like this:

Name
Western Civilization 1 - CLEP
Western Civilization 2 - CLEP
American History 1 - CLEP
American History 2 - CLEP
History of the Soviet Union - DSST

History Of The Vietnam War - DSST
Causes and Effects Of Vietnam War - Study.com
The Holocaust & World War II - Study.com
Military History - CSU Pueblo

It appears to meet all of the course requirements, including the 18 UL course requirements (not 100% sure about the Military History course, would need to verify that this is UL). That being said, I discovered someone mentioning that TESU is now much more expensive than Excelsior for a history degree. I was planning on using TESU despite it being more expensive because of the wealth of information about this school specifically available on this forum, but hearing that it is much more expensive has given me pause.

I started researching Excelsior and trying to create a similar AOS plan, but I'm having a difficult time because there doesn't seem to be an exact course equivalency provided by sources like CLEP or Study.com. Instead of specifying exactly what class is fulfilled by a course on Study.com or CLEP, it will simply say something like 'Fulfills Social Sciences Requirement For 3 Credits.'

Here is the source I am using for Study.com:

https://www.excelsior.edu/wp-content/upl...l_Arts.pdf

Does anyone have a source for a history plan/guide from Excelsior that I could use to start creating a basic outline? Beyond this, what are your general thoughts on TESU vs. Excelsior for history? There is also a greater requirement for UL courses at Excelsior (30), and as far as I can tell this may end up costing quite a bit more money on courses prior to graduating. Thanks in advance!
