6 more UL credits - any recommendations?
#1
So after I take the World Religions and Org Behavior DSSTs, I'll need 6 more UL credits before I'm eligible for graduation for the Liberal Studies BA at TESC.

After I take World Religions and Org Behavior, My CLEP/DSSTs that could go towards that degree will then be maxed out.
So I need 6 more UL credits.

Any suggestions on where to get it?
They have to be in the Humanities or Social Science category.
And if possible, I'd prefer them to be interesting and/or easy-ish.

Somebody suggested ECE Gerontology and ECE Adulthood & Aging cuz they overlap each other and they have IC flashcards.

I was also thinking about ECE World Population cuz i heard its not too hard and then take World War II from LSU.

Then I was thinking about just taking 2 courses from LSU cuz at least i can control whether i pass or not.

Anybody got anything else they wanna suggest?

Looks as though you have not yet tested DSST COU-262 Fundamentals of Counseling, it transcribes as PSY-331 Introduction to Counseling.

I've attached a before (COU-262) and after (PSY-331) shot to this post.

Must they be social sciences or humanities? I am taking the TECEP CMP-354 "Network Technology" for three upper level credits (TESC BA/LS) and it seems pretty straightforward for anyone with some tech savvy. The downloadable outline on the TESC website is great you can just wikipedia all of the topics and be ready to test.

I have not had this approved with TESC yet but their catalog lists the test as 3 UL Natural Science credits so I don't see where there would be a problem.

Checked out any of the Ohio U exams?

LSU fees go up this week - can't remember the date - so sign up quickly if you want the cheap fees.

Definitely recommend Gerontology and Adulthood and Aging... Both were relatively easy and interesting. Most of my psychology and sociology studies from previous exams helped a lot when it was time to take these two.

Good luck!

I did not know this! How would one find this information without being enrolled? My daughter needs 5 more UL Psych courses. She's taken:
[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Organizational Behavior DSST (Psy 361)
Human Growth and Development Clep (Psy 211)
Educational Psych Clep (Psy 230)[/COLOR]

What other ones am I missing?
