I believe that Excelsior will accept the CSM Learn course. If so, I *highly* recommend it. I'm a total math phobe and was able to get through the CSMLearn course with little problem in a weekend of concentrated effort. Learned a lot also.
But confirm with Excelsior that they'll accept it as a math credit. I ran into an issue where they wouldn't accept mine simply because I'd taken it before they signed the credit acceptance agreement with CSMLearn. Even though it was the exact same course, and somebody from CSMLearn even contracted them to try to fix it, they wouldn't budge. And COSC accepts it (or used to), but not as a math credit, which sort of defeats the point. But I believe this is only a problem for folks who took it before the agreement.
Outside of CSM, I know some folks have had luck with a business mathematics course, but again, check with Excelsior and get something in writing before you take the course.
