My BALS Plan....wow lots to do!

Here is what I came up with, what recommendations can you make? I have very little credits (8 credits for A&P I/II, 3 College Algebra SL and the femas) Maybe if I had all 24 Fema's done, I would feel better....I feel so far in the hole right now. I am taking HTYH on Wednesday, just wished it counted for more than free electives!

This plan is for TESC right?

The computing DSST & CLEP are both credited as COS-101 so you can only use one of those tests. The biggest problem I see with your plan is the lack of upper level credits. You will need 18 in your Liberal Studies concentration and I only count 3 (substance abuse). The Org. Behavior DSST is a pretty easy 3 UL credits. ECE World Pop is not hard either and DSST Vietnam is not the beast it once was, the IC cards are right on.

My recommendation is to search the site for other posters BA/LS layouts and use their template.

Yep its for TESC.

It may seem like a lot, but it's just one thing at a time.... one step in front of the other!

Looking at your plan I do not see enough 300 and above in your LS concentration. You need 18 credits in 300 and above. 9 credits in 200 or above and 6 in 100. A friend of mine is doing this degree and is being very careful about the courses/tests that she is picking. She is doing World Religion, Org Behavior, Org Communications, Substance Abuse, Digital Photography, and Business Ethics to meet here 18 credits. She is also doing Human Growth, Women and Psy, and Educational Pys to meet her 200 level.

She could be doing the over 300 with many of the upper level History tests but she has decided against that. You also do not have any tests/classes listed for the 18 General Elective credits and the Natural Science and Math section has 12 credits not 9.
