Quantitative Analysis: CSM vs Coopersmith?
#1
Leaning towards a BSBA from Excelsior as my best option. They require Quantitative Analysis. My new degree plan has enough UL credits, so I can take either the CSM or Coopersmith version.

Which is easier, better, more organized, clearer, and less like the college algebra and statistics courses that I loathed?
Working towards:
  • BS Business @ Excelsior
Exams/Courses Taken (99 Credits)
  • CLEP (36) - English Comp, Natural Science, College Math, Principles of Mgmt, Intro Marketing, Intro Sociology, Analyzing & Interpreting Lit, Intro to Educational Psychology, Human Growth & Dev 
  • DSST (12) - Principles of Supervision, Intro to Business, Human Resources Mgmt, Organizational Behavior
  • Sophia Learning (51) - Developing Effective Teams, Student Success, Essentials of Managing Conflict, Conflict Resolution, Intro to Ethics, Visual Communication, Intro to Psychology, Public Speaking, Intro to Info Tech, Accounting, Statistics, Algebra, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Communication at Work, Principles of Finance, Business Law, US History 1&2

IIRC, you need to take the Coopersmith version because the CSM one doesn't count for this requirement for a Business degree.

Okay, so the UL isn't the issue.

Can you please explain what IIRC is?

I also ran into some crap with Excelsior about accepting the CSM course. They would accept it, but it would not count as a quantitative analysis course.  This, and some other reasons, is why I ended up at TESU over Excelsior.

If you can find a school that accepts CSM as your quantitative credit, I do highly recommend the CSM course.  I'm a total math phobe and found CSM to be a brilliant way to present and teach material... almost fun... and if you set your mind to it, you can knock through it quickly. (I finished the entire course in a weekend.)

TESU accepts it. For a business degree, a student would need: Algebra (Sophia), Statistics (Sophia again), and CSM. As far as everything goes, it's a pretty easy way to meet TESU's math requirements.

At Excelsior, if you want the BSB, you must take Coopersmith's MAT-303: Quantitative Analysis. The CSM course is nothing like this, so I can understand why they don't consider this course "enough" for their degree.
