I doubt Sophia will get UL classes any time soon. Their focus seems to be mainly on gen ed credits.

Their Project Management course used to come in as UL - I took it and got the UL credit back in the day. So I don't think they're opposed to it.

EDIT: Project Management used to be ACE-recommended for UL credit.

If courses come in as LL or UL is up to the school accepting the credit not Sophia. UMPI, for example, accepts a few of their courses as UL because they are UL courses at UMPI. The same course may be a LL at another school or not accepted. There's nothing set in stone about their courses being LL or UL.

Project Management came in as UL for me at APUS.

Principles of Finance came in as FIN-301 for me at TESU, which really surprised me considering how strict TESU has become the past couple years.

Did it get used in the core? Because if so, it doesn't actually matter how it comes in, the core doesn't count for UL credit needed in the AoS.

If you are referring to the Business Core, yes, it came into that group.

I noticed acclaim finally updated "Introduction to Web Development" to include the ACE endorsement, so I've sent the transcript over to TESU and will report back with what it comes back as on my evaluation when it does.

I noticed on the non affiliated Sophia site they moved intro to IT and intro to web dev to a new section titled, "Computer science and IT." Seems like a sign they plan to expand the offerings in that area further.

Well today I contacted Sophia regarding Introduction to Relational Databases and the agent was not aware of that, he told me that he will let the support team to contact me through email regarding this course.
It was projecting to be live today since I read this at the ACE website.
