Straighterline -> FHSU -> Excelsior
#4
lostandfound Wrote:hi all,

to make a long story less long, my plan is to finish off my degree at excelsior (business - finance concentration). now after researching, i've decided i want to take as many courses that transfer grades (not pass/fail). my thinking is that this may help (or alternatively kill my chances) of getting into a particular masters program that requires higher grades.

another issue is because there aren't any clep test centres where i reside (toronto, canada), i'm trying to eliminate as many cleps as i can but it still looks like i'll need to make a trip to buffalo once or twice in the near future. this is leading me to choose (preferably) graded dsst exams and maybe one or two uexcel exams over cleps.

i've also read about straighterline so i'm thinking about taking as many courses as i can thrpugh them (aleks is another option but they only transfer as pass/fail and not grades). to be efficient in time and money, i'd only take straighterline courses that are accepted by fhsu (because these courses will be graded and then i will be able to transfer them to excelsior - or so my research has indicated).

anyway, does anyone out there know exactly which straighterline courses fhsu accepts? and what those fshu credits would transfer to excelsior as? the straighterline site lists more courses than what's listed under their transfer credit page so i'm not sure if i'm understanding this correctly. the courses they offer and transfer to fshu are:

college algebra = fshu MAT110 = exclesior? (does this satisfy the math requirement?)
accounting I = fshu ACCT203 = excelsior?
accounting II = fshu ACCT204 = excelsior? (is this managerial accounting?)
business stats = fshu * (that's what the website says) = excelsior? (does this satisfy the stats requirement?)
developmental writing = fshu? (no indication on the website) = excelsior?
english comp I = fshu (credit cannot transfer according to website) = excelsior?
english comp II = fshu ENC1102 = excelsior? (does this satisfy WER?)
eco I: macroeconomics = fshu? (no indication on website) = excelsior? (does this satisfy macro?)
eco II: microeconomics = fshu? (no indication on website) = excelsior? (does this satisfy micro?)
intro to algebra = fshu? (no indication on website) = excelsior? (does this satisfy math requirement)
precalculus = fshu? (no indication on website) = excelsior? (does this satisfy math requirement?)

i'm hoping those who have actually transferred their credits over to excelsior can shed some light on what courses i should/must/shouldn't/could take at straighterline.

thanks!

apparently rules have changed... they used to accept eng 1 as late as last year.

from what i was looking at over here
