Excelsior BA Humanities

[TexasTink]

I don't like how Excelsior doesn't give you the full scoop on how to fulfill the degree requirements.

For TESU, even if you do the BALS in Humanities, you get to choose what you want to take, and they have tons of options for how to do it.  It's very clear what you can do, and you can plan it out ahead of time.  I just find their degree plans easier to deal with.

Here's a copy of a generic plan that is just a BALS, but you can plan in all kinds of courses that fit the Humanities area of study.

Yes, that's been a big frustration as I was trying to make a plan.  It would seem I would need to take at least 15 hours from the college for the Fine Arts section plus the 5 required from Excelsior.  I'm not opposed to taking some classes from them, it just depends on how many it would require.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I'm going to spend some time looking through the different BALS plans here.  I do like the idea of getting done before the end of the year and for that price so I very well may just go that direction. I don't know about a Master's degree yet, but I've found lots of free or cheap music courses I could take afterwards to add to my experience and knowledge.

Did you look at the catalog? I think they give enough info to help you decide. One survey course, which they give about 10 example classes for, plus 5 other courses about Fine Arts, which they also have some examples for. That means the concentration has 18 credits. The 5 classes are flexible.

TESU would only be a Liberal Studies degree with Humanities concentration, but it would be quicker and cheaper, unless you really like the classroom.

Thanks!  Sorry, I wasn't sure how to read that section.
