Excelsior BS in Social Sciences

Numerically, there are enough courses at SDC for 45 credits in social sciences compared to the 30 that are needed. But I am not sure that they cover everything that is needed. One possible option would be to take at least 2 of the social science courses at Sophia, and hopefully there are two that don't already overlap with what you have ( https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...al_Science ), and then apply to Excelsior. This unlocks a discount at Excelsior that makes it only slightly more expensive (by about $600, IIRC) to take 2 extra courses with them than it would cost to only take the 3 that are absolutely required. https://www.excelsior.edu/partner/sophia/

Why would you want an other BA, and a "generic" one at that? It seems like a waste of time and money.

You should consider a masters degree instead.
