free ethics course: https://www.theinstitutes.org/guide/ethi...al-conduct (I think this is the right link it might not be, but choose the free option not the $5 option)

Other than that, there are no other free courses that I know of.


As of July 2019, EC is cheaper than TESU, but EC has an annual service fee and you pay it upfront, so you shouldn't enroll until you are almost done. But there are not too many EC students on this forum but there might be more now that TESU increased their rates. Also, with Excelsior you can transfer in 116/117 credits vs 114 at TESU. But I hear soon Excelsior will require a 3 credit cornerstone in 2020.

Oh heck, I really hope they don’t require a 3-credit cornerstone.  If they do, I’ll just stick with Charter Oak.  I honestly can’t thank you enough for answering all of my obnoxious question & providing incredible information to find things, as all of this is a lot to take in.  In regards to these free courses, how do I tell which ones will be of use at COSC?  I’m assuming the two free ones from Sophia count towards Electives then?  I doubt the Student Success course will do anything, but I will knock that one out after and start the Ethics course.  How good is CSM with properly explaining Math?  With my ADHD, Math is incredibly overwhelming and is my worst subject.

Excelsior currently has a 1 credit cornerstone that is self-paced and pass/fail. You can transfer it but I think it has to be from an actual class, not alternative credit. In 2020 they are probably going to have the same type of 3 credit cornerstone as TESU.

Charter Oak and TESU both have 3 credit cornerstones that are graded college courses and not self-paced.

CSM is amazing!! They take it one step at a time and it self paced so you can stop if you get overwhelmed and come back later. You get a free trial which is for 2 hours but after that, it is only $39 which is a steal. The software is ingenious and works with you. Just try it you have nothing to lose.

TESU is about $3k more than COSC I believe (I could be wrong on this, anyone know for sure?)

Awesome!  I’ll nab CSM as soon as I start my math-related courses.  Would you happen to know if the 3 courses/10 credits from TEEX count in any way towards electives at COSC?  I’m really about to start those up soon enough, but if they don’t transfer, then I won’t waste my time.
