Hey, guys! I've been told by advising that the free ethics course can either fulfill the ethics requirement OR count towards my upper level credits for the BALS. So, I'm wondering if there is another easy ethics course I can take that will fulfill that ethics requirement w/out duplicating the free one from the Institutes. (If I use the free 2-credit ethics course + the free 2-credit upper level cybersecurity course, that basically gives me one less 3-credit upper level course to worry with. Score!)

I opted for the 2 UL credit Institutes and 2 UL credit TEEX to for the BALS UL requirement. Took the study.com LL Business Ethics to fulfill the Gen Ed ethics requirement. Soooo happy to not go through another UL study.com course with essay(s).
This scenario also gave me a 1 credit overage the UL requirement area (which then reduced my free electives by one credit).
ALso completed the study.com Ethics - theory and practice bc something like 30 lessons overlapped with Business Ethics.

The DSST study guide was great for helping me understand the various philosophical views on the exam. As a matter of fact I enjoyed the material so much I took Business and Society the following week. The humanities are not my strong suit at all. So passing both of the exams was a thrill for me. The downside was going to the test center. There are cheaper and possibly more convenient options available.
CLEP
Natural Sciences -Social Sciences -US History I -Intro Psychology -Human Growth and Development -Humanities -A&I Lit -College Math
DSST
Organizational Behavior -Human Resources Management -Ethics in America -Business Ethics and Society -Technical Writing -Substance Abuse
ECE
Organizational Behavior -Human Resources Management -Labor Relations -Psychology of Adulthood and Aging -Abnormal Psychology -Social Psychology -Foundations of Gerontology-Research Methods in Psychology-Contemporary Mathematics
Kaplan
Prior Learning Assessment

What are the 2 UL credits from TEEX? The cyber security ones? If so, which ones exactly.
Thanks

FYI, TEEX Cyber 201: Cyber Security for IT Professionals also transfers in as UL (CAP-385 @ 2 cr) but won't work in a BALS, only the CS or CIS AOS.
