Easiest way to satisfy 3 unit math requirement Excelsior?

[rab889]

Hello, I really bad with algebra and that's what worry me the most, the math part..  Is there an equivalent which is good for people like me and satisfy the 3 unit math requirements for a degree from excelsior or even TESU or COC .  Just not algebra.

The math requirements vary by not only school, but by degree program.  Which degree program are you pursuing?

I’ll pursue associate degree and if I can do it might pursue a BA after. It seems even associate in arts requires 3 units math

It really depends on the school. I wouldn't suggest the TESU AA as it's expensive in comparison to other schools. But they will accept much lower levels of math for the AA or even a BALS. College Math CLEP or Applied Liberal Arts Math DSST would both work (and are available elsewhere like Study.com).

COSC requires College Algebra or Stats for their AA, plus don't forget the lab science plus an additional science (that would get me more than the math).

Have you considered the BOG AAS program? Do you have any credits already from a college (rather than testing)?

Sorry for responding so late, I appreciate the responses. I am considering Excelsior Associate degree in Business because I'd like to pursue business but can't commit to a BA now. If I can do the AA in business I'll be happy and I can always complete it to a BA. Excelsior are the only ones that have an option for an AA degree in Business..

And I don't have any prior college credit just starting to take some CLEP tests.

If you're going to take CLEP tests, you might want to use ModernStates.org.  They are free courses that help prepare you for the exams, and then when you complete them, they give you a voucher for the CLEP exam - as many CLEP's as you want, no max.  Then, after each exam, they will also reimburse you for the testing center fees!  Woot!  Free CLEP.

It doesn't look like EC's AA in Business has a requirement on the math (no college algebra required) that I can see - but you might want to double check with them.  Also, they have some discounts for Study.com, so if you want to try using them, they have a scholarship that gives 6 free courses.  Then, you get a discount on the Capstone course ($100 per credit discount, so $300 off).

I personally wouldn't want to do a capstone for an AA, but hey, you do you.

Not sure where you got the idea that Excelsior was the only Associate's in Business. TESU has an ASBA, not that I particularly recommend it given the higher fees at TESU. I will say that if you ever intend to get a bachelor's in business, you are going to have to tackle Algebra and Stats, so you might consider biting the bullet and just getting it done. Also, if the last time you tried was in HS, you might find that with a more mature perspective you can persevere. I used to HATE writing when I was a student the first time, but now I find I don't really mind it.
