The Open Course option allows students to earn credits by taking free, open, online courses from the Saylor Foundation that are aligned with the Colleges prior
learning assessment program. Credits earned via the Open Course option can be applied to most undergraduate degree programs at Thomas Edison State
College, including the entire Associate in Science in Business Administration degree.
The option enables students to take open courses at no cost and then apply what they learned in those open courses by successfully completing a portfolio
assessment or the Colleges credit-by-exam program, TECEP. Some credits can also be earned by passing a College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) exam or
Saylor's NCCRS exams, which have been evaluated and recommended for college credit by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS).
The Open Course option is self-paced, so students can complete courses and assessments on their own schedule, independent from monthly semesters and
deadlines.
In addition to the entire Associate in Science in Business Administration degree, students can use this option to earn credits that satisfy general education elective
or free elective requirements for most undergraduate degree programs at the College. The Open Course option also provides a great opportunity for students who
may have some background knowledge on a particular topic but not enough to complete a prior learning assessment on their own. With the Open Course option,
students can brush up on the sections they need, then take the assessment.
