Congrats! I had a feeling the Nat Sci/Math would work out for you.

Congratulations on being only one course away from your goal!!!:hurray:

Yes, the online unofficial evaluations are usually quite accurate. Once you enroll if there are some changes that could possibly make your degree plan more efficient, an advisor can move courses around. For example some courses may fall into free electives if not pinned to a certain area.

Any who, to finish up quickly you could take the Intro to Sociology CLEP exam. Or for a GPA, take SOS-110 Living in the Information Age (syllabus) at TESC. It was a very interesting 12-wk online class, fairly simple, and the course does not require textbooks. All writing information required is supplied within the course module or researched online. Also two of the written assignments are substituted for midterm and final.

Good luck!

First of all, congrats because at worst, you're still not far from a degree!

Now, I could definitely be wrong about this, but I just went through getting my eval and noticed something similar when trying out the other programs. Hopefully this is not the case with your situation where it shows you only need 1.67 credits.

On my TESC eval, it was correct for the program I originally chose, but I had to manually go through any other eval to see how many credits were actually applied.

For example, here's what mine looked like for the BSBA in Accounting:

Here's what it looks like when I switch to something else, such as CIS for this example:

At the top it shows I have 0 credits to go, but just by glancing at the first few courses you can see I definitely have more than "0" to go.

Anyway, I hope this isn't the case with yours and was just unique to mine.

<edit> I just noticed you specifically stated 1.67 hours of Social Sciences, so you did go through the entire revised program. I have a feeling you're good to go, congrats again!!

Goal: BSBA in CIS
