BOG Pierpont Advice

Ya, I'm leaning towards the BSLA at EC, I think it will be the easiest way I can transfer in 113 and just do the 7 needed there.  I will have to see which school will accept more of my mortuary school credits and choose after I know where they each stand.  I can apply to each of them and get evaluated without commitment right?  Can I do this before I officially graduate from PP?  This is where I feel my educational system ignorance shows and I get overwhelmed, but I felt this way at the beginning of PP too and I accomplished that so I'm just so glad I found this forum.

It really depends on whether your mortuary school credits are RA or NA - TESU will accept RA only, while EU will take NA as well.  But EU's BLS will accept 60cr of Free Electives, while TESU's BALS will only accept 27cr of Free Electives.  But it's always better to figure out how fast/easy it is to GET your degree, rather than looking at what you get credit for.  Because getting 30cr of UL at EU will take longer than getting 18cr of UL at TESU.

Your best bet is to tell us if the mortuary school is RA or NA, and then list the credits (course number, full course name, number of credits, and grade if less than a C) so we can tell you what will apply where.

This is everything I have taken so far, the misc ones at the bottom I just did for the heck of it and didn't complete the full 5/6/7 courses in their entirety so I don't think they count. My main goals are ease and speed. I'm not great at writing papers because I haven't had to write one in 25 years, but I will of course if need be. As you can see I won't be an accountant anytime soon. I'm really great at memorizing and taking tests. I believe this forum came to the conclusion that AAMI my mortuary school was NA:

"It's nationally accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education, which is DOED-recognized both as an accreditor of programs in funeral service or mortuary science and of freestanding schools of funeral service or mortuary science."

Here's my best guess for what you still need:

TESU BALS
English Comp I & II
Oral Comm course
Quant Lit course (not sure if CSM Learn course will count here)
Diversity course
Civic Engagement course
5 UL Liberal Arts courses (15cr)
7 LL Liberal Arts courses (21cr)
4cr of Free Electives
Total of 64cr needed

EU BLS
English Comp I & II (cannot be a test-out method except TECEP exams)
6 UL Liberal Arts courses (18cr)
2 UL Free Elective courses (6cr)
Total of 37cr needed

EU is cheaper, but getting UL credits is more expensive, so you'd have to weight the costs between the 2. EU would certainly be easier with fewer credits needed.
