TESU: Study.com alternates?

[rachel83az]

I forgot about CIS Testing. I need to add them to the wiki. They have several UL Psych courses that one can take instead of the courses from Coopersmith or Study.com. https://cistesting.org/psychology-and-sociology/ You would simply need to confirm with TESU that they are actually accepted as UL courses.

For information on how CIS Testing works, check out this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Directory It's $150 per course + $15 exam fee.

@waterv1, it's a toss up still, I would say 50/50 that you'll continue with TESU or another option for you is UMPI.  If you are alright with short-form, you can see if UMPI can support your learning style or what your ADA requirements are.  I highly recommend doing an evaluation for yourself to see if TESU/UMPI or another competency based degree provider would work.  There are so many providers from public/state offerings to private offerings such as SNHU to Walden, etc.  

TESU accepts NCCRS credits, you can get a BA Psychology and use 30 "education" credits from study.com and Genesis University (Nationally Accredited but have NCCRS courses), so you'll have a BA Psych, and you have 30 free electives or "Education" type courses.  UMPI has an option for you, the BLS with Education Minor, or Walden program here: https://www.waldenu.edu/online-bachelors...o-learning

My suggestion, email *ALL* schools that interest you about their ADA requirements, some have very helpful teams that will assist with students that have known disabilities and try to arrange offerings or comparable classes, and they're here to help you through each step of the way towards that goal post...

I would not recommend UMPI at all. Firstly, it doesn't have the desired degree. Secondly, it's pretty much ALL essays.

Excelsior might be an option, though. Excelsior has a Psych degree and I think you can get almost everything through Coopersmith.
