One SDC course, 6 sh Upper Level in Philosophy

[dfrecore]

Completely changing it from a 101 to a 301 course just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Yes most 301 level courses cover the same base topic, with the addition of more details and required work, so that I understand. What I question is why get rid of the 101 level version. Just make the changes to the base course and create the new upper level course while retaining the lower level version. This would allow for flexibility as well as then having 2 courses SDC can charge for.

I am going to guess that Intro to Philosophy was not a course that got used a lot, so it made more sense to just get rid of that and switch it.  UL credit is WAY more valuable than LL, so if they can make the switch without it costing them anything, by all means, they should.

If Study.com wants to add 6 UL Philo credits it would make a Philosophy BA possible at the Big 3

I still don't think it's possible, because you still need the following:

A course in Logic (none via alt-credit that I can find)

1-2 courses in Major Field of Philosophy (Ethics is an easy one)
1-2 courses in Major Philosophers
1-2 courses in History of Philosophy
12cr total between these 3 areas ^^

The good news is that there are TONS of UL Ethics courses from SDC and Coopersmith, so your 15cr of UL is covered.  It's trying to find courses on specific philosophers and the history of philosophy that's difficult.  Most CC's don't have much in that.  I'm guessing religion will be an easy one to consider, but still hard to find inexpensively.
