I am trying to help my friend find a online Business Math class. It must be RA so it may be transferred to her school. Cost is also important. Less is more for her. Thanks

Her school does not take DSST exams so that is why she needs to find one that can be done DL. Her school only offers the course very rarely.

Here's a biz math class at LSU (indep study, $250/class). It says Math for Business Analysis. Not sure if that's the same. Will keep looking.
LSU Independent and Distance Learning

Here is one in Bellevue Washington. It's an online course. I didn't read the enrollment stuff but I don't believe you have to be working towards a degree there to take a class.
