Ed4Credit ECO 300 Transfer Verification

[eriehiker]

I just want to confirm that Ed4Credit ECO 300, Money and Banking, transfers into TESU as ECO 231, Intro. to Money and Banking.  I can also confirm that it comes in as an elective within the finance undergrad. certificate.

Cheers!
Mike

Dumb question - why did you opt for Ed4Credit over the DSST (UL)? Or is that in addition to the DSST?

Ed4Credit had a 50% sale at Thanksgiving. That made the class about $100, which was competitive with the DSST. It's about an hour drive to my closest testing site, so working at home was preferable and pretty much a wash in terms of cost. That said, I found the Ed4Credit setup to be extremely difficult. It took about six or seven retests of chapter tests to add a few percentage points that I needed to reach 70%. Of course, finance is not particularly easy, so maybe the DSST was extremely difficult as well. Anyway, this was a particular circumstance.

It's hard, since you don't have anything to compare to.  If it's a difficult course, then it's just difficult, and setup may not be the problem.

The good news is that if you want to make the hour drive, you can take the DSST and it's not a duplicate course.  And you've already studied for it.

What will the DSST version transfer in as?  Also, do you know if anyone has confirmed CSU Global exam: FIN400EX Analyzing Financial Statements will transfer in to satisfy a Finance Area of Study course?
 
Thanks for the info.

The DSST is ECO-322.

The CSU-Global course comes in as ACC and not FIN the last time I heard (actually this makes sense).

The DSST is considered pretty hard.

Ed4Credit is hopefully easier, since it doesn't come in as UL like the DSST.

Do you know if both the DSST-Money and Banking (TESU- ECO-322) and Ed4Credit ECO 300 (TESU- ECO-231) will come in under Finance?  Will both of those courses along with the Financial Institutions and Markets TECEP (FIN-331-TE) come in as 3 separate courses totaling 9 credits for the Finance AOS?

Thanks again for the help.

The last I heard, the DSST and the TECEP were non-duplicating, and we know that the Ed4Credit course is non-duplicating.  But I would definitely check with TESU to see what they say about them, and have them plan them into your degree just to be certain.
