I want to start by saying that I'm very thankful for this forum and the resources provided. It was overwhelming to think about returning for a communications degree at this point in my life, but the help and reassurance have been great.
At this point I need the following classes to finish my degree. I've taken everything else though SDC, Sophia or TESU.
- COM-100 Communication Theory
- COM-120 Intro. Mass Communications I
- COM-121 Mass Communications II
- Pick Two:
- COM-330 Interpersonal Communication
- COM-335 Intercultural Communication
- COM-265 Communication in the Digital Age
- LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone Course
Questions:
Are there any 3rd party alternative to TESU for COM100, COM230, COM121, COM330, COM 335 or COM265?
For anyone that has taken COM330, COM 335, and/or COM265 which ones would you recommend? I only need 2 of the 3 to graduate. My interest in each is about equal, but I have a lot on my plate so which ones did you find most interesting, enjoyable, or perhaps easier?

Unfortunately, none of those classes are available via anything like Study.com, Sophia, etc. You might be able to find an inexpensive community college that offers equivalents to COM-100, 120, and 121. If you go that route, I would suggest having them pre-planned to ensure that they will work.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

There are no known equivalents. I would say go to CC a cheap CC and take Mass comm I. This would be the easiest course to find a cheap version of. Then take all 5 courses (plus a 1 credit course like the ridiculously easy PLA 100) to get to 16 and avoid the waiver fee. It would actually save you money this way.

Curious... What catalogue year did TESU gave you the option to pick 2 these?
- COM-330 Interpersonal Communication
- COM-335 Intercultural Communication
- COM-265 Communication in the Digital Age
I dont see it in either 2021 or 2025
