Where can you find UL credit in STEM areas to test out of for credit - miah - 06-20-2018
Where can you find UL credit in STEM areas to test out of for credit? Unless my kid can test out of some of the remaining 5 courses that are left, I don't see a benefit to EC at this point. I was hoping they would have transferred in more of the credits, but they aren't taking 15 credits so it's not really going to close the gap to allow an earlier completion than staying put at ESC.
That said, is it possible to test out of UL credits in STEM/Natural or Physical Sciences degrees with the "Big 3 schools"?

Yes, it is. You'd have to give some additional info on what kinds of courses you want to take. Excelsior doesn't have a category called "STEM".
Which courses are you looking for?

STEM equates to Science Technology Engineering or Math. I was looking more for the Science (Natural, Physical, Environmental) classes - As well as as who offers an UL Ethics course too.

I know what STEM is, but most schools don't just say "STEM classes". They normally require courses in specific areas.
Tech
Lots of UL Tech courses from multiple providers.
Math
- Shmoop has 1 UL course in Geometry, 2cr
- UExcel offers UL Quantitative Analysis
- DavarAcademy has Statistics as UL, 4cr
- Coopersmith has Concepts in Math and Quantitative Analysis
- Westcott is your best bet for those
UL Ethics
- UExcel has Business Ethics, Bioethics, Ethics: Theory & Practice
- DavarAcademy has Business Ethics
- Study.com has: BUS 318: Management Ethics,
Science
- UExcel Microbiology, Pathophysiology
- Study.com has SCI 102: Principles of Physical Science
- Coopersmith has Physiological Psychology which may come in as a NatSci

TY, but unfortunately, FAC has completed most of those courses already through traditional classes , except for the Ethics class, so they won't really help in this scenario, but thanks for this info!

If FAC has them as LL courses, he/she can still take the UL course and have it count separately.

TY- also good to know for future reference to share with other students for the future- but in this case they were also counted as upper level credit already for those that were listed.
(As usual we find out about alternatives too late, but the information usually is paid forward by sharing it with others.)

Do you know what Coopersmith QA comes in as, to TESU?
I would like to know about more UL Tech courses.

They've been listed on here a ton. A bunch of people have degrees that have those kinds of courses.
