Online Finance course - hunter2115 - 08-25-2006
Can anyone recommend an online course that will satisfy Excelsior's Finance requirement for Business degrees? It does not have to be upper level. I was ready to take it thru a community college this fall, but it looks like I will be moving to 2nd shift at work and the hours wont work. I'm not sure that I could do this one DSST. Any suggestions/experiences are appreciated!

BYU has a cost effective online course. The final is proctored.
Just do a course search at Excelsior and you can find all kinds of classes. I think the BYU one is about the cheapest you will find though.

Hunter,
Why don't you at least have a go at DSST Principles of Finance. If you pass, you can save yourself a semester's worth of work and a bunch of money. If you fail, you've lost $60 and you can STILL do the full course (with prior study as a good foundation).
I was terrified of Finance too. So I do understand your anxiety about the exam. But I passed it, and you most likely would too. You'll never know unless you try.
I just think it would be worth considering.
No pressure...just a gentle nudge!

I agree with Snazzlefrag. Try it. You might like it (the result).
Snazz, could you repost what you did to study for Prin of Fin? I seem to remember you using an additional resource to IC as well as recommending a calculator.
As for me, I plan on taking this on 9/8. I am still waiting for my other 5 test scores and still have to study for Prin of Mktg.
