Help finding inexpensive courses & upper level - geissingert - 04-26-2019
Please give your input. Hoping this makes sense, as I have brain cancer and don't come across writing well.

Davar Academy has Management Information Systems and about 4-5 UL business courses. They are NCCRS so it depends on what school your child is attending. TESU takes NCCRS but many schools don't.
Other than those, many courses in your first list are lower level courses by their nature (intro or principles courses, the first two accounting courses, etc).
Study.com is expected to get approval for their Data Structures course but it's not yet available. They do have a UL database course (and are expected to have another for credit), Computer Architecture which is UL, and Systems Analysis & Design which is UL.

Davar seems to be the lowest cost business classes I've seen. Unless you can blow through 3-4 classes a month on StraighterLine, but I would question how much one can retain. I think it's a bad idea for the core classes of a major. I would go with study.com for UL courses tho.

Do you have a sample of a Davar Academy class?

They don't have free materials anymore, but you can see their descriptions and purchase one. https://www.davaracademy.com/business.html
I posted about my experiences with their classes back around June 2017 and so did ErieHiker and others. Back then, Davar was having a special offer so many of us did many classes.
