Difficulty choosing courses

Can anyone tell me if you think TESC would let me take BOTH of these upper-level courses? Or are they too similar to each other?

Southern New Hampshire University
ENG-350: The English Language
This course is an introduction to the following topics in English linguistics: history of English, etymology, vocabulary (morphology), phonology, dictionaries, syntax, semantics, dialects, discourse analysis, and child language acquisition. The course is designed for students who want to learn about the English language as preparation for teaching, or for becoming better writers, or for studying literature.
