The above referenced course is only ACE recommended for lower level credit, and probably won't help you much. The following are some self paced courses that meet the requirements (all are upper level except the Penn Foster course):

* International Relations – Penn Foster International Relations
* International Business – BYU Introduction to International Business
* International Economics (or International Trade) – University of Colorado – Boulder International Economics and Policy, University of Nebraska – Lincoln Intro to International Economics
* International Finance – CSU Pueblo International Finance
* International Marketing – LSU International Marketing

Thank you for your responses. I got approval to take Int'l Business from Penn Foster to fulfill global Business.

I have another and your help would be appreciated again. Looking for Project Management.

Thanks again

I inquired this week with Excelsior about Penn Foster courses that fulfill the Project Management requirement and was told that their are no Penn Foster courses that fulfill that requirement. If you find out something different please post it.

And thanks for letting us know about them approving International Business. I will need to fulfill that requirement and will be asking them to approve that course, so knowing they have already approved it for Global Business is helpful.

From what it looks like, The CSU-Pueblo class for Project/Operations management or the TESC exam are the best bet.
