alternative credit for BA majors at TESU w/ lowest math - CarpeDiem8 - 03-22-2019
Hey all!
So, in revisiting all the threads regarding BA choices with the lowest math, like BA in English, Comm, etc, it appears none have full monty of alternative credit now? I'm reading that Shmoop is out, UL communications are no longer be used at CSU-Global, etc.
If so, do you happen to know which BA major comes closest to maximizing the most alternative credits?
Thanks!

I did a BALS with a concentration in Humanities with all alternative credits.

Cool, so if I don't want to pay for the Change Management course since there is no alternative credit for a Gen Management concentration, this is an option!
Thanks!!!
I'm guessing that there the options dried up pretty good in the last year for BA in English and BA and Communications, is what I'm seeing.

So far, my research is showing to get a BA in Communications, you have to pay for these classes through TESU in order to get that degree:
Communication Theory
Mass Communications I
Mass Communications II
Hey TexasTink!
I took a look at your sig with all your courses trying to piece out what is UL for Humanities, but can't figure it out. May I ask what courses you used for Study.com for your AOS UL courses?
Thanks!

The only BA majors I know of that can be done using solely alternative credits (except of course the Cornerstone/Capstone) at TESU are Liberal Studies and Psychology. I know that History and Sociology are both one class away.

I’m at the end of the BALS and used the CSMLearn course for my quantitative literacy requirement. I can’t recommend it enough. I’m thinking about taking the UL Abnormal Psych test with TESU to do a Psychology concentration, and other than that, it can totally be done with alt credit.
RE: alternative credit for BA majors at TESU w/ lowest math - mysonx3 - 03-23-2019
I believe the Coopersmith Abnormal Psychology course will also work for the Psych concentration, since it is also UL, and it's about $75 cheaper than the TECEP

Try abnormal psychology on study.com. I did it, and it is a good course.

@Supermind, did it work for a Psych concentration for you? I'm not exactly sure how UL requirements work with BALS concentrations and I see that the page for the Psych concentration lists the UL version of the course (both SDC versions are LL)

Interesting! Never heard of CSMLearn. Is it similar to ALEKS? I did not enjoy the ALEKS interface at all.
