Saylor.org for the win... hahaha, it's $5 and there are 3 upper level right there! Davar is $129 ($99/2 courses, $15/proctor exam) Study.com is $199/2 courses, $70/extra exam. It all depends, Davar is easier as you study the presentations/slides they give you, I think it's cheaper, easier, faster than a Study.com offering. They don't have nearly as many choices to chose from though... You'll likely need to take a combination, a mix/match of courses you are interested in. For Study.com, you can take 'overlapping' courses and it'll be better that way.

Thank you. I have been looking at Saylor and intend to use them also. Davar does have many Business courses some UL some LL. I'll work through Sophia (LL) & Saylor and see what UL courses I'll still need.

Yeah - Sophia.org for lower level and Saylor.org for upper level works, if you wouldn't mind taking Saylor.org (by skimming through their course material) just for their practice exam to see what you may need extra reading on and then the final exam for $5 each and some quick credits, that's a good way to get credits if you're already very familiar with the subjects. I wouldn't really recommend them if you don't know the subjects well enough as the learning materials aren't that great (broken/outdated links, etc), their cost is the main draw towards getting credit from them.
