Here is how I completed those categories. There are a lot of other options. I am only sharing my experience and not advocating any particular way. I had the Guardian study.com scholarship so that dictated how and where I took most of the courses.
Oral Communication 3 credits study.com Intro to Public Speaking
Information Literacy 3 credits study.com World Religions
Ethics 3 credits Free course from the Institutes that jsd mentioned - it is only 2 credits but TESU will waive the other credit
Civic Engagement 3 credits study.com American Government (on this one, I did start the Saylor.org Poly Sci course. If I hadn't had the scholarship I planned to use this one)
Lifelong Learning Strategies 1 credit (I believe that this is an intro course to help students adjust to online courses) TESU will waive this if you transfer in 104 credits or you are a study.com affiliate member
Liberal Studies 300+ category
9 credits needed
Here are the courses from study.com I took that TESU considers as UL. PSY 103, 104, 105, and Bus 107:Org Behavior. Shmoop has multiple courses that are UL and I took Modernist Lit. I already had Shakespeare and Vietnam History but both of those are UL too. I ended up with more UL credits than I needed but they were able to be used in the AOS.
Capstone 3 credits - You have to take this at TESU.
There are soooo many more options though. I am only giving you the options I used. Personally I didn't like Shmoop. I also switched my concentration where I couldn't use literature courses as UL. But that is up to you. It is a very inexpensive option. I loved study.com (especially since 6 courses were free!!!) There are of course other providers and testing sources. I'm only sharing my experience.
