Thanks for the response. Okay so here is what I need to get done but not sure how to get there.
I am a state certified ESL and math teacher. I want to add the science cert to my license. I only need to take 1 or 2 science classes in order to have enough science courses to get that science cert.
The science classes courses can be any level 100 or above but must show on a college transcript. I can take a variety on either Sophia or Study but I need to know how to get those completed science courses on an official college transcript so I can send it to the state.
Can anyone help me on how to get this accomplished? Thanks all.

Two options:
1. Just take one (or two) ASU Universal Learner science classes. Everything will automatically be on the Arizona State University transcript. Total cost: $425 per class.
2. Take the Sophia and/or Study.com classes. Apply to TESU ($50); any degree. Send in your transcripts. Pay for (but do not take) the Medical Terminology TECEP ($52). Once evaluated, send your TESU transcript to the state.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

You need to find out if you need RA credit or if ACE credit will suffice. Your best bet maybe the ASU courses like Rachel suggested. Then you don't have to worry because they're RA credit and not transfer credit of any kind. They'll be on an ASU transcript.

@acamp, where did you get your undergrad? Wasn't it at TESU? If so, the easiest option is to verify with the state that they will accept alternative credit even if it's on an institutions transcript, if so, quickly get those science courses from Sophia.org/Study.com or even StraighterLine, it won't matter which provider as long as it's on the TESU transcript that mentions the transferred course and lower or upper level. Do you just need those 18 credits total or do you need more for that subject matter?

Hello!
No I actually graduated from Rutgers. I only need 3-6 science credits more and I’m good to go to get that extra cert.

If I recall correctly you earned your master at WGU. I would take a few of (or all) the science courses on Sophia and then just send them the Sophia transcript - even if you have to have them think you're considering another degree from them for the short term. Once on the WGU transcript they're there forever - https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/Transfer....ning%20LLC
Edit: if you already have credits for courses that Sophia offers, Study (SDC) offer quite a few more - same process, just Sophia much cheaper.

GREAT memory . So if I take one or two science courses through Sophia, you think WGU would add those science courses to my old WGU transcript?

They may if you 'just' send them, but they defiantly would add them if your 'applied' for another degree (I would earn the credits fist, and the degree shouldn't matter - just pick something you don't already have, maybe another bachelor in business - as they are LL credits). This only works because you already have a guaranteed WGU transcript as a graduate (alumn) from the school. Yes, you may have to put up with a few emails, or calls about signing up (they do stop) - but hard to beat the cost and ease of getting credits on a transcript from a school you already graduated from.
Edit: of course I can't guarantee this, but knowing how WGU works from my own time enrolled there - it should without issue work. I would try this method before possibly paying (even if just to apply elsewhere) to have them added to a 'random' school transcript. As it was suggested by another, getting them added to your (an) exisiting school is always preferred.
