Sociology Electives- TESU

[sanantone]

To add to this, as I just finished this degree with TESU -- "Ethics in the Social Sciences" is one required TESU course that is currently not offered by any ACE credit-by-exam/alternative credit courses currently. This would help quite a bit.

Also, History and Systems of Psychology (required) is only available through Coopersmith Consulting (NCCRS), and it was a terrible setup and test. I would have gladly paid more than the approx $200 they charged to go a better route.

Likewise, Coopersmith Consulting is currently the only ones offering Physiological Psychology (another Pscyh degree requirement at TESU), and I imagine that setup would be similar to their History and Systems setup, though I don'thave experience with that (I took that as an online course elsewhere).

Offering Psych options is a win-win because it's a popular major and there are some gaps in it being more test-friendly. Obviously I'm bias, but I'd love to see more options.



Okay, I'm bias here too since this was my Associate's "major," but this is also very under-served in the alternative credit world. Though I imagine there probably isn't as uch demand for it like Psych or Business so I understand why we don't see as much. But if you wanted to venture in to it, again with TESU in mind...

The required course "Social Theory" currently has no options currently. It'd be great to see that. But as stated, UL elective options are especially lacking.

I was also thinking of UL credits in mathematics and music, but I don't know how popular those would be. We've only had a few people here major in music. IT, history, psychology, the various business subjects, computer science, and possibly humanities and natural science are popular programs or would be more popular if they were easier to complete. I forgot to mention criminal justice. COSC and Excelsior's programs were never test-friendly. TESU made its CJ program much less test-friendly (including ACE and NCCRS credits) recently. The main options for credits are Propero and Penn Foster. Almost everyone reports having a bad experience with Propero; Penn Foster often doesn't renew ACE evaluations for its courses. Communications would probably be more popular if there were more options.
