Can anyone steer me towards a good test that would fulfill 3 credits at the upper level area for a liberal studies degree? That's the only class I need!

I noticed you already took a StraighterLine course. I just did a "What if.." in my Academic Evaluation and StraighterLine's Introduction to Religion ( Introduction to Religion Online Courses for Credit | StraighterLine) apparently fulfills 3 credits in the upper level area. If you decided to do that, do not take my word for it, e-mail Academic Advising and confirm with them first.

For an associates, I believe you'll be trying for a Bachelors afterwards? Why not take something that will move forward to the BA? +1 for Nixi's recommendation as that is part of the BA general education requirements. You can also check their webpage against the CLEP, DSST, and TECEPS they have mapped or set equivalency.

I am completing my BA, not Associates.

Thank you so much. I will call tomorrow to see if this fulfills upper level credits.

That course is UL and will be REL 405 when transferred into TESU, the only thing is, when they did your evaluation, did it not tell you what course is missing? Have you already completed their capstone? You may want to double check everything is done here and apply for graduation once set! BA in Liberal Studies Degree at Thomas Edison State University
If you are missing anything, you can check for any corresponding CLEP, DSST or TECEP?

Pretty sure that the Saylor Corporate Communications course transfers in as COM-373 and can be applied to the Area of Study.

I will apply for graduation tomorrow then! Am currently 6 weeks into the Capstone course. Will confirm with TESU that Corporate Communications counts towards upper level liberal studies and report back!
