I don't like it as much, but Gradarius has Calculus: https://www.gradarius.com/
This is an interesting idea. I wonder how it would impact the cost of the YourPace program. UMPI has been big on keeping it affordable. They haven't raised tuition on it since it launched.

I personally think UMPI YourPace would fare better if they included the CS programme with a good dose of math. They could easily create a business major with a concentration in informatics or analytics. They would just need to expand the existing BA programme with 5 or 6 courses and combine it with the MIS minor.UMPI only launched their on campus CS program in January 2021. There's 1 professor for the program so far. from what I've been told I do believe that a CS/IT program will come eventually. They have to develop the whole YourPace program for it first. UMPI is a VERY SMALL school. There's about 1100 students on campus and a few hundred in YourPace. Its nothing like WGU or SNHU.
