Need Help in planning correct CLEP / DSST / Study.com etc. courses - amit - 05-13-2016

I have been working towards my BA Liberal Studies from TESU. I started 5/11/2015 and have so far completed my AA and at 87 credits.
Problem I am facing at this moment is that I need 12 UL credits in Liberal studies and with the whole bunch of changes happening with DSST (some courses that were UL are do not show at UL on ACE site) I am not sure what tests I can take.

I was leaning towards study.com but have so far been unsuccessful in figuring out what classifies as UL (ACE site does not show any that fit the needed criteria)

So, here I am looking for advise as to which tests would suffice the requirement. I am enrolled as per 2015 catalog. I would also appreciate if someone could help me get the % off coupon for study.com as well.

Thanks all !!

Thomas Edison State College

The transfer tab shows how Study.com courses transfer in to TESU, there are some UL options there

Thanks for pointing me in that direction but how do I tell which ones are upper level and which ones are not?

Courses with 300+ is upper credit like bio-351. Coupon for 20% off is gostudy20.

anyone that transfers in as a "300" or "400" course is upper level. 100-200 are lower.

For example Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology --> to --> PSY-350: Abnormal Psychology is upper level

Thanks all.
Will Abnormal Psychology fit in Liberal Studies?

I just ran TESU's "What if I changed my program of study?" evaluation, and it counted my Abnormal Psych course (and other psych courses) in the Liberal Studies field.

Just heard back from TESU advising and they suggested that the following courses from study.com will be applied as UL Liberal Studies courses.

Study.com -- Business 107: Organizational Behavior
TESU Equivalent -- MAN-311: Organizational Behavior

Study.com -- History 108: History of the Vietnam War
TESU Equivalent -- HIS-351: A History of Vietnam War

Study.com -- Psychology 104: Social Psychology
TESU Equivalent -- PSY-370: Social Psychology

Study.com -- Psychology 105: Research Methods in Psychology
TESU Equivalent -- PSY-322: Research in Exp Psych

Study.com -- Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology
TESU Equivalent -- PSY-350: Abnormal Psychology

Hope this information helps someone. For some reason they do not accept HRM course as UL

Study.com -- Business 106: Human Resource Management
TESU Equivalent -- MAN-331: Human Resources Management

HRM is not considered a liberal art; therefore, it cannot be used in the liberal studies AOS.
