Good to see Coopersmith is still a possible option for 1 of them. I'll be sure to keep this in mind helping her pick classes.
You can take English Comp I from Sophia. However, English Comp II is NOT accepted by Excelsior for Business degrees (it should be accepted for Liberal Studies degrees). Instead of English Comp II, students need a Business Writing course that is available through Coopersmith.
@ItsNeverTheLionsYear WOW! thank you so much for taking time to reply with so many details. I'm sure I'll be referring back to this post many times.
One think she's expressed concern about has been pigeon holing herself into a specific study/job field too young. She understands that her desires are likely to expand and change as she grows more and as she enters the job market and gets experience. That's why she's been looking at the broad general degrees. I completely agree about gaining experience in more specific areas through internships or low level positions or even specific studies in order to be an appealing candidate.
@dfrecore Excellent advice about what courses to consider in CC. She already CLEP'd College Algebra but I'll look through what's available through the CC and we'll look at the rate my professors for who's teaching each of these course options. That should help us narrow down a good idea of where to start out at the CC.
