Spreadsheet of courses from affordable credit sources?

[alexhurts]

Hi all,
I am just beginning to plan my degree. I started compiling a spreadsheet of courses from some of the places I am considering to get credits, Sophia, Davar, CLEP, DSST, etc. But then I thought, maybe this exists somewhere? I have not found anything broken down by course title, has anyone seen a huge spreadsheet of courses available from these popular sources? I did find > https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sources_of_Credit < which is incredibly helpful!

If it doesn't exist, maybe my partial spreadsheet will be helpful to someone:

I will add to it as I research for my own program requirements, but I must limit the scope to my own degree interests to stay focused!

A couple of forum members have their own spreadsheets that they maintain and help others with. However, there is no publicly-available one for all providers. What a particular course is brought in as can change relatively quickly. For instance, IIRC, Project Management at Sophia used to be brought in as an UL course at TESU. It now comes in as LL. Sometimes, they will switch whether they count for a particular requirement or not. Also, a course might count at TESU but not at Excelsior or vice versa.

Understood, I hadn't considered that. Well I will maintain mine for the ephemeral moment and my own uses. If it helps anyone for now, or for a starting point in the future, grand! If not, it's not much more work than tracking my own research.

I used to maintain my own course equivalency database that I kept up to date and used to help others (and myself) with picking courses. It was a lot of work since things change so much. I spent a couple of hours per week on it easily not including the time spent to look stuff up.

Once I got into the tail end of my BSBA degree and everything was already pre-planned, I stopped maintaining it. That was only a bit over a year ago and I'm pretty sure my list is maybe 25% accurate anymore. So, even if you could find a list online it would be worse than starting on your own since you won't know how accurate anything is and you'd have to go back over everything on the list to verify it and then adding or removing things that have changed.

This is why nobody shares these things since they don't want to be responsible for messing up someone else's degree plan and/or costing them money and time in wasted courses.
