I'll just add that I did my BSLA at Excelsior and found the program to be very flexible. While my degree was based on a very old catalog, it's not that different from the current offering in terms of the UL credit requirements; 21 Arts/Sciences and 9 in Applied Professional or Additional Arts & Sciences for the BSLA, vs the BALA, which requires all 30 UL credits to be in the Arts & Sciences.
I used Coopersmith and Davar for all but 5 of my UL credits, but I could have easily taken all 30 from them. The key with either provider is, as has been pointed out upthread, to ask your advisor in advance if the course fits your degree plan and will be accepted as UL credit. Excelsior is very liberal when it comes to accepting these courses, and of eight or ten I think they only shot down two or three for UL credit.
In regards to the coopersmith and davar, do they also require proctored exams. I've heard study. Com does prpctored exams. I'm only asking because I live overseas and doing proctored exams will be a bit of a challenge due to the huge time difference.
