4 Psychology Courses Needed

[ss20ts]

bjcheung77: The B&M does accept ACE as well as CLEP and Excelsior. They are pretty open to which electives are selected. I'm wondering if perhaps the course might be easier than the exam for an ESL user? Or do you think it's vice versa?

I believe the courses on Study.com will be easier than studying for CLEP or Excelsior exams for someone who is ESL. With the courses, they can go at their own pace. They can watch something over and over and use closed captioning if necessary. They can read the lecture over and over and use a text to voice app if necessary. The exams are timed so that could be an issue for someone who is ESL. I think the classes would be less stressful and they won't have to worry about not understanding or misunderstanding something on the exam. Those exams you're on your own to study for. Study.com is set up with readings and videos so it's like a class lecture. 

They also work on their ESL skills watching the videos and doing the reading. The videos may help with pronunciation of some words they may struggle with. I'm not ESL, but I will sit there and listen to videos to learn how to pronounce things I don't know over and over. I had to do that last week when I was learning about the movement of air in one of my classes. So much technical jargon that I had no idea how to pronounce. I don't want to sound like a moron once I'm working in my new industry so I watch videos to make sure I'm pronouncing things correctly.

Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology and/or Psychology 306: Advanced Abnormal Psychology are the ones you want on SDC. These are at https://study.com/academy/course/abnormal-psych.html and https://study.com/academy/course/psychol...ology.html

When searching on SDC, make sure that you click on "courses" and not on lessons or top results. The icon in the search results needs to be a blue ribbon and not a rectangle with a "play" icon or a stack of rectangles with a play icon. Because you get 2 classes in a month with SDC, I would highly recommend doing at least 2 of the courses on SDC. But make sure that your friend's choice of schools will accept the SDC courses. Not all schools will accept all SDC courses. They might or might not count as prerequisites for a psych program.

If it turns out that they don't accept the SDC courses for some reason, your friend could take UExcel exams. These are graded exams from Excelsior College that are possibly more likely to be accepted by most schools. Abnormal Psych would be $355 + proctoring fees. They also have Intro to Psychology + 3 other Psych exams for $110 each + proctoring fees.

When you're on the webpage, on the top, click on courses then psychology. This will open a new webpage. Scroll down. On the left hand side there will be a boxes that says Goals. In that box, click on Transferable Credit and then click on Online College Credit. This will then show you only the classes available for credit. There's a lot of other study material on Study.com. They have 17 courses shown.
