Need Help Evaluating Transcripts - BeenBen - 09-25-2023
Hi! I've taken a few RA credits and Sophia courses. Hoping someone can help me evaluate my transcript to figure out which courses I should take next? I'm very stressed out as my job depends on it.
For reference I was going to take the following at Sophia (All LL and 3 credits):
Art History II
Human Biology
Intro to Chemistry
US History II
Principles of Finances
Microbiology
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Intro to Nutrition
College Algebra
The following at SDC (All UL and 3 credits):
Psychology 315: Psychology of Motivation
Business 321: Small Business Management
Business 313: Organizational Communication
Business 304: Leading Organizational Change
Business 305: Leadership Communication
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior
LA 498: Liberal Arts Capstone
Business 303 Management Information Science
Business 311 Project Management
And these at Excelsior:
LA 498: Liberal Arts Capstone (UL 3)
IND 301 Cornerstone B: Pathways (UL 1)
INL 102 Information Literacy (UL 1)
Hopefully this helps others see how Sophia courses have been transferred in this year. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

Ben! Have you decided between Excelsior and UMPI yet? Your previous posts/thread was for UMPI here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Just-got-my-transcripts-looking-for-templates | You've got to do a few courses from Sophia.org to get the general education/electives complete, I would work on those first. And it seems you're missing the Ethics course which you haven't listed, get that done as well. Otherwise, you just need 3 classes at Excelsior, the Cornerstone is actually 3 UL not 1 that you've listed...

I don't think most of those UL classes at SDC are "Arts & Sciences". Arts and Sciences are: humanities, social science, history, natural sciences, mathematics.
Psychology 315: Psychology of Motivation - Social Science is A&S
Business 321: Small Business Management - Free elective not A&S
Business 313: Organizational Communication - Humanities is A&S
Business 304: Leading Organizational Change - Leadership not A&S
Business 305: Leadership Communication - Business Elective not A&S
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior - Social Science is A&S
Business 303 Management Information Science - Free elective/applied professional not A&S
Business 311 Project Management - Free elective/applied professional not A&S
Your evaluation says that you need 27 more UL A&S and 9 UL in anything. By my count, you have 9 UL A&S and 15 "anything" credits. AFAIK, there may not be sufficient UL A&S credits at SDC. Classes that should work, but aren't on your list, are:
- English 305: Advanced Technical Writing
- Health 302: Health Services Policy (not 100% sure health science is A&S)
- Health 303: Healthcare Organization & Management (only if health science is A&S)
- Health 308: Healthcare Quality & Outcome Measurement (again, only if health science is A&S)
- Psychology 315: Psychology of Motivation
- Psychology 316: Advanced Social Psychology
- Sociology 305: Sociology of Work
That's at least 12 UL credits, plus the 9 already listed, should be at least 21 UL credits. If Health Science works, it'd be 30 UL A&S credits. Either way, you should also turn your attention to Coopersmith. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coopersmith_Career_Consulting If you like taking exams vs. papers, Coopersmith should be pretty easy. If you don't like taking exams, Coopersmith should still be okay. Especially if you avoid ProctorU as a proctor.
