Maybe I missed it in another thread, but are your courses from a regionally accredited school? Did you now that TESU has a Bachelor of Arts in Religion?

That leaves only 2 courses that you should take via Study.com - English Comp II, and World Religions/A&I Lit/Tech Writing (choose 1 of these 3).  That way, you get the Study.com affiliate membership pricing, saving you about $1000 on the degree.

Thank you so much! I will get started on these right away and I will do those other classes with Study.com as I'm in the Guardian scholarship as of this week Smile

I had no idea that they had a Bachelor of Arts in Religion. However, unless I'm able to use a majority of my classes in the degree and it works out better than this other option I don't know if I'll go down that route. My school was regionally accredited, yes. I'll contact TESU and see their suggestions Smile

It's a very flexible degree. The only specific requirements are religions of the world (multiple options for this) or comparative religion and philosophy of religion. The rest of the major can be filled with any religion course as long as you meet the upper level requirements.

I think the recorded Study.com proctoring is less intimidating than the live proctoring used by many other systems.

Oh... Recorded proctoring? Would mind explaining that to me? I am working through the personal finance course so I'm sure I'll get to it soon but I am intrigued.

IIRC, they basically capture your screen and record via your webcam, then someone later may (though I doubt they always do it) review your exam footage.

Study.com's proctoring is through Software Secure. When you are ready to take the test you download the software and it records your screen and records you via webcam. You never have to talk to anyone or use a chatbox. All you have to do is show your ID, use your webcam to take a photo, and use your webcam to show the 360 view of your room. It is so easy compared to the *live* proctoring where you have to interact via chatbox and have someone staring at you white you take the test. The live proctoring can be very unpredictable- you never know if the setup is going to take 10 minutes or 45 minutes- all depends on the mood of the proctor.

The thing I like most about RPNow is the fact that I can just do it on a whim, whenever I feel ready...for ProctorU, I have to schedule it and make an appointment, and yeah, your milage really varys depending on the proctor. Some are grumpy and nitpicky and others get you and and out of the verification stage in no time at all.
