Sophia to COSC

@dharmastudios - Register for everything BUT the 3 Foundations of English, College Algebra, Stats courses, they're considered as developmental/vocational, and like TESU will not transfer (Excelsior and many of the for-profits will accept them for lower-level free electives/general education).

Before anyone puts great effort into Sophia College Readiness for transfer to COSC, you might want to get some information as to whether College Readiness is likely to duplicate Charter Oak's in-house degree requirement IDS 101 Cornerstone Seminar.

And the cornerstone is something you need from cosc zo college readines is a no go?

That's a good point.

It would probably come in as a free elective.  I would always leave those for last.

Yes, the cornerstone has to be taken at COSC. No-go is strongly worded, but it's unclear whether or how Sophia College Readiness would transfer in to COSC.

I forgot to say - it won't duplicate the cornerstone, so it will probably come in.

Hi there,

My 14yo is potentially looking to do an AS from COSC.

What are the classes we need to take from Sophia or Arizona State Univ to check off reqs needed for COSC while still free?

Am thinking Eng 1/2
Global Understanding - World Rel only option?
Literature/ Fine Arts - is Art History only option? Think my son will shoot me lol
Second Science with lab - best option there or is it straightliner or saylor?

Also what is the difference between an AA and AS, not seeing much clear direction on the COSC page.


Classes working now:
Calc for Eng - ASU (3)
Intro Statistics - Sophia (3)
Public Speaking - Sophia (3)

Classes completed (20):
US Hist 1/2 - Duel Enrollment (6)
Env Sci - Sophia (3)
College Readiness - Sophia (3)
Cyber - TEEX (6)
Scuba - PADI (2)

Thank you

Well for a lab maybe consider dual enrollment. Idk how it much costs in your state though that's the only issue. But if the cost is right learning the lab hands on vs online would be a better experience. Plus if he plans on going to 4 year university that isn't the big 3 doubtful the ace lab would transfer so this would transfer better.

Why not try the art history and see how it goes maybe you son might be surprised its free so if he hates you don't waste anything but time. But also visual communications works for fine art as well so you could try that.


Here is what I could find:
Eng comp: sophia eng comp I
social/behavioral science: psych, sociology and econ (choose one)
science non lab: environment sci or biology.
fine arts: visual comm or art history
global understanding: religions

electives: more sophia and more free teex

I personally did the course of the religion and didn't find it that bad actually interesting and not that difficult.

Hi there,

For the degrees of Associate in Arts at least 45 of the credits must be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences;
for the degrees of Associate in Science at least 30 of the credits must be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences
so it has to do with how many non liberal arts/science electives you can have.

as far as I know, with lab would be straighterline. I don't think the saylor courses have lab for cosc transfer. but I'm limited in that info. I've heard others who go with study.com for that lab. sophia doesn't have lab
