You could also try the Business Law and Information Systems CLEP with the Modern States voucher if you wanna save some bucks.

Multiple people on Reddit have also mentioned Business Ethics and Org Behavior, I'll most likely be taking those two and US History. Thanks for the input! Unfortunately, I don't live in the states and no longer have base access so any sort of CLEP is out the window.

See link: https://www.straighterline.com/colleges/...uivalency/

Side note: You can also apply for a StraighterLine scholarship, worth $2000 over 4 terms.
Even if you finish in 1 term, ALL your fees from StraighterLine is paid for and you get a cheaper term!

"Students need a minimum grade of 70% to be eligible to transfer courses from StraighterLine to Western Governors University- College of Business. Please contact WGU Advisors at 1.866.225.5948 for any questions.

The tuition credit is $50 per course for the first four (4) StraighterLine courses transferred upon admission to WGU ($200 maximum). To qualify, courses must be (1) completed before his or her first term of enrollment at WGU and (2) eligible for transfer to WGU. WGU applies the tuition credit to the student's first-term tuition bill at WGU."
This is the email that WGU sent me to just add more to what you wrote. 

Quote:I enjoyed speaking with you about WGU’s partnership with StraighterLine. WGU has established this partnership to help you complete your college entrance pre-requisites and then easily transition into your selected WGU degree program. 

By starting with StraighterLine you will gain experience and build your confidence as you complete general education college courses online. 

Choose from a variety of courses outlined in the Course Equivalency Guide for your degree path: Business College, College of Health Professions, College of Information Technology, or Teacher’s College. Upon successful completion, these courses are guaranteed to transfer and count towards your WGU degree! 

StraighterLine courses are already competitively priced, and because we are partners, WGU can pass along additional savings. Courses start at just $59 and we’ll offer you $50 off your first course! Whether you finish your course(s) in one month or more, you’ll benefit from this special offer: 




When you’ve successfully completed your general education courses, and been admitted to WGU, the savings will continue: 
Receive a $100 Straighterline course refund if two courses are transferred (or a $200 course refund if four or more courses are transferred) 
If you transfer four or more courses from StraighterLine to WGU, you’ll be eligible to apply for the WGU StraighterLine Scholarship, valued at up to $2,000 

If you are interested in learning more about StraighterLine, we encourage you to call a StraighterLine Advisor at 1-877-989-7499. To get started right away, click here. 

And don't forget to use referral code WGUSL50 to save $50 on your first StraighterLine course!

For sure I'll be doing US History, what did you find that wasn't "too easy?" It seems like I have to just bite my lip and take it.

Anyways, if you do go for the four courses, it'll cost you the following.
$99 for 1 month of subscription, get $50 off with a coupon - $49.
Get one course for $59, another for $59, get $50 coupon = $68
Get the final course free if you can use up another coupon or pay $59 if you can't find one
Total = $117 if you use all coupons, or $176 if you can't get the final coupon
If you transfer all 4 to WGU, you get $200 off the first term = FREE SL COURSES that can be done in 1 day

I've been reading through this link to figure out which courses I can finish faster and with an ease of mind with an open book final

This is what I have in mind FROM straigterline so far, I'll be doing more research to find one more class from straighterline. What's your experience with Business law?
