That's why I'm trying to transfer it out. I doubt that a class with one Performance Assessment (the lab) is all that difficult, but I don't want to spend $350 for a lab kit when I can spend $120 (lab kit) + $60 (course cost) through SL (or less through other alternatives) to do the same thing.

This is not the case for the two sciences required for the business/it programs. Integrated Natural Science and Integrated Natural Science Applications incur no additional fees.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

My bad! I'm going to edit my reply so I won't misinform anyone else. I forgot that early on I had the Biology Teacher's degree on my list and I never took that part off.
Currently working on: BSBA-Accounting @ WGU
