History Upper Level Credits (Please help!)

What Johnny Heck said is true, but I still believe that TESC is more content driven. The course names don't have to be an exact match. Most often, there is no exact match when it comes to course titles other than the standard courses offered by all colleges. More than likely, HIS-417 United States 1919-1960 was seen to be covering much of the same ground as U.S. 1929-1948 (HIS-217) making its content similar to what TESC considers a LL course. TESC will and has put completely different names on transfer courses. For example, I transferred in a LL DAAC course in Intro to Alcohol/Drug Addictions. I think it was first coded as an UL SOS course in Substance Abuse and then the name was changed to an UL SOS course for Drugs in Society. I also transferred a course called World Culture and the Arts and TESC labeled it as Humanities I. Fundamentals of Music was labeled Basic Sight and Ear Training or something like that. When TESC can't match content, it'll give a generic XXX-199, XXX-299, XXX-399 etc. They labeled almost all of my master's courses as AOJ-499. I really don't know why they did that because none of the courses have anything to do with criminal justice in content or title. Two were labeled HLS-499 which makes more sense. The others should be POS for political science or something else.

I'm assuming that the content of those courses is too general and broad. UL history courses tend to be more focused. Although, there is an UL course in the History of the 20th Century in the PLA database.
