Upper Level Credits at Study.com

[browniebo]

Currently working towards a BSLA at Excelsior.  I've completed most of my LL courses at Sophia and I plan to finish at Study.com.


The UL courses at Sophia are nonexistent and the ones at Study.com don't all make sense for my degree. Is there a better source to find UL courses?

I would like to find different courses for the health and business courses because:

1. I don't think they will transfer well

2. I really don't want to take them XD


UL Courses at Study.com that supposedly work for a BSLA:

English 305: Advanced Technical Writing (this one makes sense)
Health 301: Ethical & Legal Issues in Healthcare (I'm not sure how this will transfer)
Health 302: Health Services Policy (I don't know how any of the health will transfer)
Health 305: Healthcare Finance and Budgeting (These courses seem to only be for nursing)
Health 307: Healthcare Delivery Systems (This supposedly transfers as free elective)
Health 308: Healthcare Quality & Outcome Measurement
Health 309: Healthcare Informatics
Psychology 311: Physiological Psychology( I'm worried the psychology courses will duplicate each other)
Psychology 315: Psychology of Motivation
Psychology 316: Advanced Social Psychology
Sociology 305: Sociology of Work
Business 327: Retail Strategy (Not sure how the business ones will transfer but supposedly they're all free or humanities)
Business 321: Small Business Management
Business 313: Organizational Management
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior
Business 303: Management Information Systems

Try checking out Coopersmith. They use ProctorU, which isn't great, but they have some fun/interesting-sounding courses. You can see some courses that have worked for Excelsior in the past here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...Consulting I don't know if History of Food Trucks would work there, but it sounds like fun!

I'll take a look! I've used some weird proctor testing services before, so we'll see how it goes.

The easiest way to check is Study.com's list of courses for EU - it lists where they bring it in, and if it's UL or LL.  You want Humanities or SocSci courses. https://study.com/college/school/excelsior-college.html

The BSL is 21cr of UL in A&S, and then 9cr of UL can be in Free Electives.  So for your 21cr in A&S, you'll have the capstone, and then need 6 courses; for the 9cr in Free Electives, you'll have the cornerstone, and then need 2 courses (that's where the UL business courses, health, whatever, will work) 

DEFINITE YES (I know these work in A&S)
English 305: Advanced Technical Writing (this one makes sense) HUMANITIES
Psychology 311: Physiological Psychology SOCSCI
Psychology 315: Psychology of Motivation [b]SOCSCI[/b]
Psychology 316: Advanced Social Psychology [b]SOCSCI[/b]
Sociology 305: Sociology of Work [b]SOCSCI[/b]
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior [b]SOCSCI[/b]
BUS 313: Organizational Communication [b][b]HUMANITIES[/b][/b]
[b][b]BUS 318: Management Ethics UL ETHICS COURSE (HUMANITIES)[/b][/b]
THE PSYCH COURSES DO NOT DUPLICATE EACH OTHER


DEFINITE NO (these should work in Free Electives, but not A&S - check the list to make sure they still take a course)
Health 301: Ethical & Legal Issues in Healthcare (I'm not sure how this will transfer) THIS USED TO WORK AS AN UL ETHICS COURSE
Health 302: Health Services Policy (I don't know how any of the health will transfer)
Health 305: Healthcare Finance and Budgeting (These courses seem to only be for nursing)
Health 307: Healthcare Delivery Systems (This supposedly transfers as free elective)
Health 308: Healthcare Quality & Outcome Measurement
Health 309: Healthcare Informatics
Business 327: Retail Strategy (Not sure how the business ones will transfer but supposedly they're all free or humanities)
Business 321: Small Business Management
Business 313: Organizational Management
Business 303: Management Information Systems

The BSLA is a great option at Excelsior, it's pretty flexible for credits as well... You should get a spreadsheet and create a template of what you're trying to accomplish with the required courses and the elective courses you want to take. What you can do is to maximize your studies by taking the required courses first, with the free electives, you can take courses that interest you such as the Business or Health related courses.

This is beyond helpful, thank you.

I printed a spreadsheet out and stuck it on my wall. When I finish a course I cross it off. Satisfying and it keeps me in check. The LL courses are under control so I just needed some help with the UL courses. You've been a lot of help, thank you!!

Generally speaking, Study.com is going to be your best source of UL credits. You can check TECEP's and Coopersmith and other places like that and find a few more
