Woo hoo!! More courses in IT and i'm into this subject too! Yay!
BTW, I still can't seem to find the IT Exploration course for credit in the course list anywhere... anyone able to add this easy course to their dashboard?
I was able to do it through bootcamp.sophia.org
Alas, I have a generic Sophia account and not a bootcamp one.

I made a bootcamp one just to do that course. Mostly I was curious if it would let me since I wasn't affiliated with any of their bootcamps and it did let me.

There seems to be another course starting April 1 as well: Taking Charge of Your Economic Future: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Course.aspx?org=SOPHIA+Learning%2c+LLC&cid=59e4901b-bc82-eb11-a812-000d3a59618d
Prolly similar to McGill's free personal finance essential courses but with credit!

Interesting! Another welcome addition! I wonder if I missed that when I posted an hour ago or it was just added in the last few minutes...? Either way, good find!

I am loving all these new courses on the horizon!!
May they do more health and humanities ones (esp. Sociology, Psychology, etc.)

I'm guessing that this may be targeted at Strayer's econ requirement. They don't take the traditional macro/micro econ credits in their degrees.

It seems that it's not possible to self-enroll in a course if it's not approved for your Sophia account affiliation. Right now my Sophia account is linked to Strayer, which doesn't have web dev. I have tried manually getting to the enrollment page on the Strayer subdomain by altering the url, but I receive a permission denied error message. I'm going to contact support and ask to be enrolled in some of these other courses.
You can contact them through the chat function during business hours and they will remove the affiliation. I had to do this when I left CSU Global. It was really easy and they removed it immediately.

I'm not going to do that and risk losing my Sophia courses. You're only allowed one Sophia account, per the TOS. I know that some people here have had multiple ones and been fine but it would be just my luck that I'd be the one they crack down on.

Same here. I started to set up an alt a while back, then thought better of it.

I really hope they get UL classes soon.
