I don't think homeland security management will count as humanities. None of your business/accounting courses can be used in general education. Just move those to free electives. I was going to point you to free sources of credit for free electives, but you won't need them because of all of the business courses. You might be able to use CIS 120 as a gen ed elective, but you would need an evaluation for that.

As far as the natural science courses/tests you've planned, I don't know if you really want to take them or if you think those are your only options.

Regarding the concentration I actually do want to get into more advanced math and I figure going through calc 1-4 would be help me with that. The others were courses I was interested in.
