TESU Upper level credits help please?

[belle]

I have completed many courses through Sophia, CLEP, and my local community college.  I will gladly list them all if it helps.  I am transferring all of these credits to TESU for their Liberal Studies programme with a minor in Humanities. […]

I have been in contact with Patricia Certo and long story short, I am still needing/missing the following to graduate but I have completed everything else:

COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOS-1100 Information Literacy Today
POS-1100 American Government
AOS 18 credits (Humanities content, 15 of these credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level)
And the capstone

The short version of all of this is, could someone please help me find the most inexpensive quickest way for me to complete these remaining requirements so I can graduate ASAP...?  

Will you have met TESU's minimum 30 credits from accredited colleges? In other words, including remaining credits, are you at risk of exceeding TESU's maximum 90 credits from alt-credit sources (ACE, NCCRS, CLEP, DSST, etc.?)

Are you looking at taking a TESU 15-credit term?

Required to take at TESU:

• SOS-1100 Information Literacy Today
  
• And the capstone
  

Options include Sophia, Study.com, ASU Universal Learner, TESU, most colleges:

• COM-2090 Public Speaking
  
• POS-1100 American Government
  

And it looks like POS-1100 American Government is pencilled in to your plan to meet the general education requirement in Civic Engagement, which can also be met by several other courses (e.g., Study.com's Comparative Politics).

For the 18 credits in upper-level Humanities, looking at Study.com's TESU page, your options there look to be

• Business 313: Organizational Communication (COM-3910 Organizational Communication)
  
• Business 310: Advanced Business Ethics (PHI-3840 Ethics and the Business Professional)
  
• English 301: Non-Western Literature (LIT-4600 Non-Western World Literature)
  
• English 305: Advanced Technical Writing (ENG-3060 Intermediate Technical Writing/Professional Writing)
  
• History 301: Historiography & Historical Methods (HIS-3790 Historical Methods)
  
• History 306: The American Civil War Era (HIS-4500 The American Civil War Era)
  
• History 308: Causes and Effects of the Vietnam War (HIS-3510 A History of Vietnam War)
  
• History 311: The Holocaust & World War II (HIS-3540 The Holocaust I)
  

TESU might also accept Study.com Business 305: Leadership Communication (normally MAN-3760 Leadership Communications at TESU) as upper-level Communication. If you're interested, ask your advisor.

As Avidreader identified, Coopersmith may also have some options.

A brand new approach, that seems likely to work now that TESU recently opened the door to accepting nationally accredited credit on the same basis as regionally accredited, would be to take upper-level philosophy courses from the nationally institutionally accredited (DEAC) Newlane University and transfer them to TESU.

There are two courses from TESU itself with the notable feature that they're humanities courses and 6 credits each, which might be more efficient than taking two 3-credit courses. These are

• HIS-3561 War and American Society (but note that Study.com's course titled War and American Society only transfers to 3 lower-level credits at TESU)
  
• HIS-4250 Dialogues on the Experience of War: War and Reintegration

I was mainly interested in the Public Speaking and Abnormal Psychology TECEP exams since they would fit perfectly into my degree.

TESU generally does not consider Psychology to be part of Humanities (instead, it's part of Social Sciences).

Wow... thank you so much for all of this, Jonathan :'). You have shared so much invaluable information with me here.  Please give me some minutes to properly read through everything you said and then I will edit my reply ^_^

Edit:

To directly answer your first question: yes, I am at risk of exceeding the 90 allotted credits... but I wanted to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to move around credits so that more credits from community college can come in and take the place of CLEP/Sophia credits (if that makes sense)

• I was planning to take the American Government CLEP so that I could be done/earn the necessary credits through 1 multiple choice exam
  
• I was planning to take the Public Speaking TECEP exam if I can manage that
  
• Would you happen to know how much it would cost for the options you listed?  It would mean a lot to me to have an idea even of what kind of money I would need to keep aside... /apply for FAFSA where possible
  

Thank you again ^_^ :') <3
