Need 12 UL business credits over at COSC, kind of lost on how to get this done quickly & cheaply.
There is TECEP but it's pretty hard to study for those test through IC. Plus not too many people take them, so the feedback forum has close to nothing about TECEP stuff I need.
How are you all meeting your COSC UL Business Credits?
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm ALMOST there :hurray:

The first place I would check would be Burbuja's signature. It has a list of exams/courses taken and a link to the degree plan.

DSST HRM is upper level along with DSST Business Ethics, DSST Org Behavior and DSST Business Law II. It really is not going to be that hard to accomplish.

According to the COSC Catalog (and my advisor)... DSST HRM & DSST Org Behavior are both Lower Level.
I've already taken DSST Business Ethics. So now I have DSST Business Law II (thanks)...
But, I still need 9 more upper level credits - any more advice would greatly be appreciated, really want to graduate ASAP

How about Money and Banking. Also Straighterline Business Communication would most likely be upper level also.

I've already taken Money & Banking. COSC requires 30 upper level credits (which is a lot, in my opinion)... so I've run out of stuff to take for these last 12 business upper level credits.
Business Law II takes care of 3, I'll have to ask about Straighterline Business Communication (thanks for the recommendation). Still could use more alternatives if you (or anyone else), could come up with them. These last upper level business credits is the LAST thing holding me back, Almost Done!

SL business communication is lower level BUS 201 at COSC.
Transfer College Credits To Charter Oak State College - StraighterLine
Have you been using this master exam list as a reference?
Transfer College Credits To Charter Oak State College - StraighterLine. I was under the assumption that after fulfilling the concentration requirements the remaining UL credits could come from any area. You might want to check the catalog and ask your advisor for sure, and please let us know what you find out.
Edit: here's the thread that talks about the 30 credit requirement at COSC:

Iopted out od the COSC Business degree because it is more difficult to finish, I Concentrated on Organizational Leadership instead which allowed me to use UL business credits along with other UL credits to finish up.
You may consider picking up your credits at BYU or CSU Pueblo, though it's gonna run you about $500/3 credits. Both schools are essentially self paced and you can bang out a course in a few weeks if your motivated. Here is a sampling of some of the CSU courses, click on the hyperlinks to see the rough syllabus
http://coned.colostate-pueblo.edu/Indepe...fault.aspx Org Behavior and HRM are very doable courses if you like to write.
The TECEPS and Excelsior exams are the only other choice that springs to mind, they are all listed on the COSC ways to earn credit that you already seem to have access to.
If you do a search my review of all the UL CSU courses I took is on this site.
Good Luck,

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

@dew125 - Yes, I have been using that sheet. I will be taking a few classes at SL but they don't offer any UL business courses. You must have 30 UL to graduate at COSC and I'm finding out that you MUST go through TECEP if you want to test out.
@Rebel100 - I think the only way to test out of those UL requirements is through TECEPT. If anyone else has advice, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I will just stick it out for another semester at a local college and graduate in May.
Are TECEP only $99 & how difficult are they?
