Outside course/exam for TESU Comm 100 Communication Theory?

[Globally_Minded]

Hi everyone,

Thank you for an extremely informative forum. I'm 56 and it took me from feeling defeated about finishing a 1986 Communications Degree through SDSU (36 credits required) to very hopeful and excited about finishing at TESU...15 credits required - only 5 classes!!   Incidentally, Excelsior came back saying I need 23 credits for a BALS, and TESU says 15 credits for a BA Communications. I'm told by hiring managers that they feel the Communications Degree is stronger anyway, so TESU it is!

I just received pre-approval for 2 of the outside courses but still need Comm 100 Communications Theory - a requirement for the degree. I submitted a few Study.com, StraighterLine and Saylor course numbers as potential options, but they were denied. Anyone know what outside course I can take to satisfy that Comm Theory requirement? 

Here is what my TESU advisor sent me:

">>Your remaining requirements are:

*Quantitative Literacy course  >> CSM Course Pre-approved
*Ethics course >> Study.com Philosophy 102 or 103, or Social Science 108
*COM-100 Communications Theory >>  ??
*SOS-110 via TESU
*LIB-495 via TESU

None of the other courses you submitted work for the Communications Theory requirement, in part because the other courses you listed mostly do not transfer or do not transfer as something that will fulfill COM-100. So you'll want to keep looking for a course that might fulfill Communication Theory. I don't believe there is anything via StraighterLine, Saylor, or Study.com, so keep searching and send me what you find, for review."
