I have a question is the 7 credits less they gave you for Pysch in free electives? Because I was just thinking how a Pysch BA has like 7 less free elective credits than all the others. If thats the case, then it doesn't matter. Free electives are the easiest to get with the free sophia, TEEX, and some easy study.com, you could earn 7 credits free electives in a few days easy. It doesn't sound like you have a lot of courses in the AOS (if any) for any of the degrees you if they all give the same credit evaluation. I'd look into the other schools COSC and EC and see what happens.

Agree with Natshar, even if Psych gives you 7 fewer credits, you'll spend less money getting the remaining credits because all of the courses in that degree (besides the mandatory Capstone and Cornerstone) are able to be tested out of, whereas every other degree you listed besides Liberal Studies has at least one course that can't be tested out of.

Since you don't have a specific requirement for your degree. I would recommend going for the BALS with a humanities or social science concentration, whatever degree with the most transferred credits you have, or the cheapest/easiest/fastest degree so you can "check that box".

Actually maybe not though. Because with TESU's new fees it is actually cheaper to take 16 credits in a term a TESU than it is to just take the required 6 and transfer in the rest and pay the wavier. If OP earns the alt credit though other schools (histological methods, non-western lit, etc) and pays the wavier then yeah, psych will be cheaper, but if they planned on taking those courses at TESU it would be cheaper doing one of the other majors. This is why I suggested looking at COSC or EC.

I'm going to go with "none of the above" and look at COSC instead. It's about $2000 cheaper than TESU at this point, possibly more now that TESU has raised their fees.
