study.com upper level courses - tdubx - 07-20-2021
For anyone that's taken upper level courses on study.com, which ones to you recommend?

How long is a piece of string?
You should take the ones that work for your degree plan.

The courses that go towards your degree, have you decided which degree/school you're going for?
Your previous thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-lots-of-credits-need-advice?
Depending on the degree/school, there are a many courses to choose from!
I highly suggest looking at the Study.com Equivalency table they have with the school.
Side note: If you're going for Excelsior/TESU, you can add Coopersmith/Davar to your list of Upper Level offerings.
And also add Onlinedegree.com for your lower level course offerings as these providers are NCCRS and not ACE.

I would plan these out carefully as what may work as UL at one school may not at another. Your best bet is to say what your school and major are, and then we can give more help.

Hey! I've decided to go to Excelsior, the upper levels I need are in Arts and Sciences Upper Level (14 credits) and Any Academic Area Upper Level (6 credits). So it's pretty open, there are a few that I want to take through EC because they seem interesting; so I'm just looking to knock out some courses before I start.

I'll be going to Excelsior, for BSLA.

In case you haven't seen it,here is a link to the equivalency table that bjcheung mentioned https://study.com/college/school/excelsior-college.html
I went to another university, but I liked sdc's Eng 305. Looks like Exclesior also takes it for UL in humanities if the list is still accurate. I'd share the name of the other SDC course I took for UL, but it's been downgraded to LL so that won't help you.

If you're looking to save some cash, Davar would be the cheapest/easiest/fastest option for testing out. Just study the materials they give you, don't bother with the recommended textbook. $99/2 coursers + $15/proctor exam, basically $129 for 6 credits, there are some Upper Level that can be had this way as well, email your Excelsior academic advisor and give them the list to see which will be Upper Level.
If you want to splurge a bit more than Study.com, and want to have it easy/fast, then Coopersmith is $150/course + exam fee. Basically the same thing as Davar, but they provide more courses, both of these are again, NCCRS credits, not ACE credits. I mainly recommend these to people going for an Exclesior/TESU degree.
Otherwise, for $200/month for two upper level courses, Study.com can be a very good option! So many choices of courses to pick from too, I suggest looking at something you're interested in and has a fair number of quizzes, assignments... check them out first I guess...
