TESU/Study.com: EDU-103/EDU-319...?

They have a rather quixotic list of very specific courses that will count for Professional Studies and Supportive Professional Studies, so it was somewhat difficult to figure out what exactly you could take more cheaply than a TESU course. On the bright side, this is the one instance I can think of in which you can use that Study Personal Finance course toward an actual major, so woohoo for that.

And paging Study.com: If you added one more education class, people would not have to take the UExcel Literacy Instruction in the Elementary School at all for the BSPS. They could take entirely Study classes for that component. If you made the topic something besides Literacy, you would create a Study-ful Area of Focus in Education for a BSLA from Excelsior (21 hours, the 6 upper level would come from the UExcel).

Thanks for the info, KayV! We are actually working on providing more education courses for credit at this moment . We hope to have them available for credit soon.

Wow, talk about service!

Now, if only someone from TESU would start paying attention to us, they might fix some of their issues... Or maybe they would put stricter rules in place, who knows.

Glad someone from Study.com is paying attention though, and I hope they're getting good business from this forum because of it!

Education 101: Foundations of Education = TESU EDU-102: Foundations of Education 3
Education 103: Classroom Management = TESU EDU-319: Classroom Management Techniques 3
Education 104: Differentiated Instruction = TESU EDU-299: Special Topics in Education 3
Education 105: Special Education History & Law = TESU SPE-200: Introduction to Special Education 3

I'm wanting to take some of these education courses for a few of my remaining free electives. None of these will overlap at TESU right?

[KayV]

They should not duplicate, since they have different prefixes. Since you are planning on using them for free electives, you should be fine.

Thanks for your help!

This is a detour but I was curious if anyone has taken the following courses through Study.com and transferred them to WGU?

Educational Psychology
Education 103: Classroom Management
Education 104: Differentiated Instruction

I have emailed my enrollment counselor but haven't received a reply yet. So far, I have been told I can't transfer any statistics courses or even the Calculus CLEP into my program. So I am a little disappointed in their transfer credit. But I haven't had a transcript evaluation yet so I guess its not over!

Has anyone been able to transfer these courses to WGU? I have inquired with my enrollment counsellor several times but they appear to be dragging their feet on this. Also has anyone taken these courses and compared to the Educational Psychology Clep test is this program a easier option?
