Coopersmith is $50 per credit.

Thanks! I looked into that but you need methods of proof and so I don't think I'm going to take it.

The only courses that counts as UL are quantitative analysis and linear algebra. Each are worth 3 credits. If you need 4 credits this still might be cheaper and faster than a Uni to do both. Just get them pre-approved by e-mailing advising first.
So I can get 6 credits for 300? Or its 150 per credit?
It is $150 total for each 3 credit course. If you do both 3 credit courses that be $300 for 6 credits. So if you did the math that is $50/credit

See if a school has a policy for visiting students. I took a few courses at a local brick and mortar and had COSC fill out a visiting/transient student form and it was fine.

This is probably the best option. MAT-301 and MAT-305 from Coopersmith. No forum posts or lengthy homework to worry about. Just study and take the exams. Definitely the least expensive option too.

As far as you know, will TESU take them as upper level?

Yes I was told this by another member on this forum doing a math degree. Also, numerous people on this forum have used Linear Algebra at UL for computer science degrees.
That being said, TESU does change things sometimes. I would simply shoot advising an e-mail telling them you want to take those courses and get it pre-approved before you spend any money and buy the courses.

I don't mind paying regular price for the class - it will save me from having to take two. Does anyone know any college that may offer such a thing?It sounds as if you're asking if there are schools that will admit non-degree seeking students.
(Even just an idea of something that might work)
If that's the case, then the answer to that question is yes; however, those that do usually limit the total number of credits you can earn while in non-degree seeking status.
In your specific case, APUS allows non-degree seeking students and they offer all of the LL/UL math courses to complete a Bachelor's in Mathematics (they have a BS in Mathematics degree themselves).
Current cost is $285 per credit hour + a $65 per course technology fee.
