300/400 Level courses

[Driel]

Hello All, do you know if it's possible to apply for a handful of 300/400 level courses in either COSC or Excelsior College without enrolling to be a student of their school?

And why would you want to do that? What are these courses used for? They don't offer much benefit over other online colleges/universities.
The only time I ever recommend people to take courses at COSC and/or Excelsior College is for their Capstone courses as it's a requirement.

If you are NOT a degree seeker from them, then I highly recommend taking courses elsewhere for cheaper/easier/faster credit, at the 300/400 level.
The only thing Excelsior has that you may want are the UEXCEL exams, they're not courses though and much harder than an SL/Study.com course.

Your best bet is to "list your courses you need at the 300/400 level" and we can provide you recommendations. If you really need to take it there.
You should at least sign up for their partnership pricing/scholarship pricing with Straighterline/Study.com

I need a total of 12SH credits from Applied Science and Technology discipline to fulfill my remaining AOS in
BSAST Technical Studies at TESU. These credits must be from 300/400 level courses. I can't afford to take them at TESU.

I see, but taking them at COSC and Excelsior would cost THE SAME THING almost! It's $499/credit - $1497 at TESU for 3 credits.
COSC is at $377/credit = $1131 a course, and Excelsior is $510/credit - $1530 a course, my suggestion is taking them at APU.

The fees at APUS is $270/credit, see here: http://www.apu.apus.edu/tuition-and-fina...ndance.htm
Did TESU say specifically what AST courses would fit? Let me check their page again and your previous posts...

I listed cheap alternatives from $25 - $250 per course.

Also, if you really want to take courses from TESU, you should sign up with Study.com and take 2 courses there (any courses that are ACE-recommended) and then get the affiliate membership at TESU. That should bring your costs down from $1497/course to $1098/course. Still not cheap, I'd do something else personally, but cheaper than EC and COSC.

I have just sent the list of courses to TESU to see if they can be approved for 300/400 level courses.
I'll keep everyone posted on their reply. Thank you.
