Asking for a 3 credit waiver for Social Psychology at TESU?

[dfrecore]

I don't know of an Interpersonal Relations course, but there is Interpersonal Communications through UExcel or CSU-Global.

CSU-Global has Race, Gender & Ethnic Relations in the US.

U of Idaho IS has Race & Ethnicity or Social Problems.

How about one of the DSST?

The Lifespan Developmental DSST is the same as the Human Growth and Development CLEP, and one is already required for the degree.

I was listing some courses/exams that fit the requirements TESU laid out in their email from frostedfire.

Does TESU still accept all CBE credits from CSU-Global?

Also dfecore, what do you think of the CBE: Race, Class, and Crime
CRJ470EX (3 credits), or Introduction to Forensic Psychology
CRJ325EX (3 credits)?

Yes, TESU accepts CSU-G's CBE's.

Honestly, I have no idea which courses will work for you, I was just giving you some options that I could find that might work. You need to contact TESU to get anything pre approved for that replacement course.

I received some good news today!

"Hello frostedfire

The Ed4Credit course SOC 315: Social Psychology will apply to the remaining 3 credits in the Social Psychology requirement in your Area of Study as the equivalent to the TESU course PSY-237 "

So, for anyone who is doing the Psychology degree through TESU, you can fulfil their 6 credit Social Psychology course with study.com's Social Psychology course (that comes in UL) and Ed4credit Social Psychology course. I hope this helps anyone who might find themselves in the same predicament as I did.

Thanks for the update. I'll update my plan on the wiki page to note this

I think almost every person on this forum who's gotten a Psych degree from TESU has had this issue, and all have been waived and made up for with another UL Psych course.

I am referring to this post made in 2017, to ask if my UL I/O Psychology course cannot be used instead of the second social psychology course?

---

I am even willing to complete SDC’s Adv social psychology, if TESU agrees to shift that course to the additional electives section. By bringing I/O Psychology in to satisfy the 3 additional credits in the social psychology section, I will have the benefit of having completed 4 upper level courses. I will just need to do one Uexcel or TECEP for the 5th.

My degree isn't in psych, it's in social sciences and I wanted credit in social psychology (my favorite psych class), but I took the TESU Social Psychology course from TESU. It's worth 6 credits. I realize it's expensive, but I'm just throwing it out there that it is possible to get 6 credits in social psych.

True. And I think TESU is trying to push everyone in that direction. But my finances are a bit tight at the moment, and I am looking for the least expensive options. If TESU offered a TECEP for social psychology, I might consider.
