Online undergraduate 300/400(0) level Political Science

[Stonybeach]

Searching for two 3-credit undergraduate political science courses with upper-division 300/3000 or 400/4000 level that can be completed online or through independent study, from a regionally accredited school for transfer. Low cost is good, and prefer not to fully matriculate if possible. My son's college has cut their offerings back significantly this year and needs two more UL POLS to graduate. Thank you.

UMPI non-degree? They have several political science classes from which 2-3 classes (6-9 credits) could be done in one term for $1,800. Works out to about $300/credit for 2 classes.

This is outstanding! Thank you very much.

Interesting, you may want to see if you can finish the requirements of the History/Political Science degree and not graduate. So, what I mean is that, your son can complete the classes that can transfer to the receiving institution, graduate from that institution. Then come back to UMPI to finish off any requirements (language, science lab, etc) general education, electives, all through transfer credit, and get a second degree without paying any further sessions.

Did you go through with the UMPI recommendation to get the extra credits required for graduation? I recommended to do more classes if needed so you can graduate with a UMPI degree afterwards, it's like getting a second degree free of charge as you've paid the first session and if you've done 10 residency courses, you're good to go.
