Hello! Been lurking on these forums forever, spent the last few weeks devising a plan for Excelsior's BS in Liberal Arts. Any advice would be appreciated!
Your Location: Montana, US
Your Age: 25
What kind of degree do you want?: Any! Goal is law school, so I just need a Bachelor's in anything. Liberal Arts seemed the quickest route, but I'm open to other options!
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
AP English Language and Composition
AP Psychology
AP Statistics
AP US History
AP World History
Sophia Intro to Ethics
Sophia Human Biology
Any certifications or military experience? I am currently in class for my Clinical Medical Assistant Certification. I've read that Excelsior transfers up to 26 credits for it, but I'm not sure if they'd transfer into BSLA.
Current Plan (120)
This plan is for a total of 120 credits. I know I can only transfer in 113 (the Information Literacy, Cornerstone, and Capstone still apply, of course,) but I figured I'd build in an extra class or two in case they don't all transfer.

Any advice or thoughts would be amazing!
