Comprehensive list of fastest/easiest general elective / liberal arts credits

[studyingfortests]

Hey, all,

A friend who is working on his bachelors (likely BALS at TESU) is looking to basically knock out as many fast/easy 3 credit classes/credits as possible. He'd like ones he can finish over 2-5 days each, if possible. So far, the ones I've suggested:

SDC Presentation Skills in the Workplace
SDC Information Literacy
CSMLearn

I've heard the following suggested, but have not taken them:
TEEX Death Investigations (he needs a total of 6 more, so one more course after this)
TEEX Crime Scene Investigations

I've heard UExcel World Populations is pretty easy (and UL)

I also suggested CLEP Analyziing & Interpreting Lit, which is good for 6 credits
And ACTFL Spanish and CLEP spanish
Is DSST "Here's To Your Health" still a pretty easy pass?



Is there a list somewhere of other quick-and-painless courses that don't require specialized knowledge (as in, no IT or other tech) ?  Or suggestions of courses/tests?

Thanks!

For a BALS, Sophia all the way. EXCEPT for English Comp I & II, Public Speaking, and the database one. Everything else can be completed pretty quickly by a mature adult. TESU doesn't bring in any DSSTs as UL any longer so I wouldn't even bother with that hassle.

For TEEX, don't take Basic Criminal Investigation. That's only 100-level and 2 credits. Take Basic Property Technician for 3 credits and 200-level. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/TEEX

Most Coopersmith courses can probably be studied and passed in a week or two for more UL credit. Check https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan for Coopersmith suggestions.

TEEX has two very easy ones: Basic Property Technician and Fingerprint Comparison

There are still 3 UL DSST exams:
Principles of Public Speaking >> COM-309
Money and Banking >> ECO-322
Fundamentals of Cybersecurity >> CIS-344

All will come in under the BALS AoS, as well as others (for example, Money & Banking can be used in the BSBA GM or FIN, Cybersec can be used in the BSBA CIS)

Your fastest ones are gonna be things like Study.com and TECEPs because you can do them at home and get results that day or the next day

Easiest is going to depend on your background knowledge.
