Are there Degree Planning Consultants?

• Charter Oak drawbacks: For instance, you cannot use CSM Learn as a math option to get your degree. This completely eliminates them as an option for some people. It could still be in the running for you because Sophia Algebra is accepted and really isn't that bad as long as you only hate math and don't have something like dyscalculia.
  

Dumb question here - why do you list College Algebra and Stats as the only options for math at COSC?  There are lots of other math courses they will take, including Study.com's MAT 102: College Mathematics or MAT 107: Quantitative Literacy; the College Math CLEP; Contemporary UExcel; Fundamentals of College Algebra or Math for Liberal Arts DSST's; Intermediate Algebra from a CC; Quantitative Analysis I from TEL; MTH 117 - Finite Math from ONU; etc.  LOTS of options other than Sophia.

Because Sophia's Algebra is literally the cheapest, fastest, and arguably easiest way to meet the math requirement. OP does not want exams (which rules out CLEP, UExcel, or DSST). Sophia is open-book for its Milestones & Challenges (quizzes & exams), which Study.com is not, and that makes Sophia a bit easier. ONU, TEL, and CCs are all full math courses and not really what I would consider "low" in math. So, yes, there are a wide variety of options for math but, based on OP's preferences, that severely limits the possibilities.

I guess I was thinking more about the level of math.  A longer course of College Math may be easier than a shorter course of Stats or College Algebra.  Just my opinion, I don't hate math and I thought there were much easier options than College Algebra out there (and I did a bunch).

I can tell you what your courses will come in as at all of the Big 3 (or else, I have questions, and I can't find a college called WSC in Massachusetts):

TESU
EN7101: English Composition I - English Comp I requirement
ICS011: Roots of Afro Amer Culture - Diversity requirement
HI111: US History 1 - Knowledge of Human Cultures
PS110: General Psychology I - Knowledge of Human Cultures
COUN100: Orientation to College - Free Electives
PE010: Sports Conditioning - Free Electives
BSOP 100: Open Typewriting Lab - Free Electives
PE040: Intercollegiate Football - Free Electives
PE175: Principles of Coaching - Free Electives
MA7100: Basic Mathematics - unknown, I would have to look at the college catalog to see what they say about this
So you either have 20.5 or 23.5cr.  I'd probably just take ONU UL courses to make up the difference

COSC
EN7101: English Composition I - English Comp I requirement
ICS011: Roots of Afro Amer Culture - Social/Behavioral Science requirement
HI111: US History 1 - US History/Government requirement
PS110: General Psychology I - Social/Behavioral Science requirement
COUN100: Orientation to College - Free Electives
PE010: Sports Conditioning - Free Electives
BSOP 100: Open Typewriting Lab - Free Electives
PE040: Intercollegiate Football - Free Electives
PE175: Principles of Coaching - Free Electives
MA7100: Basic Mathematics - unknown, I would have to look at the college catalog to see what they say about this
So you either have 20.5 or 23.5cr.  I'd probably just take ONU UL courses to make up the difference

EC
EN7101: English Composition I - Written English I requirement
ICS011: Roots of Afro Amer Culture - Humanities requirement
HI111: US History 1 - Social Science/History requirement
PS110: General Psychology I - Social Science/History requirement
COUN100: Orientation to College - Free Electives
BSOP 100: Open Typewriting Lab - Free Electives
PE010: Sports Conditioning - Free Electives, but over limit
PE040: Intercollegiate Football - Free Electives, will only take 2cr
PE175: Principles of Coaching - Won't transfer in (EC doesn't take D grades)
MA7100: Basic Mathematics - unknown, I would have to look at the college catalog to see what they say about this
So you either have 16 or 19cr. But EC doesn't require any RA credits, so you're fine.

I'm assuming that you want a BALS (TESU)/BSLS (COSC)/BSLA (EC), since you said the fastest and easiest degree.  I want to point out that if you don't take Stats, you may find that an MBA is going to be a difficult when you have to take something math-related (most MBA programs have a math-heavy stats-type course).  So even though you wouldn't HAVE to take Stats, I would highly suggest it.  I'd also suggest that you take all of the courses required in the core (Financial & Managerial Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing, Business Law, etc.) and you can throw those in Free Electives.  At COSC you can even use them in the concentration (do Psych and Business for the most flexibility).

Good news, it should work for all 3 schools as the math requirement (for a Liberal studies degree).

But not a BS degree?
