Why don't you throw in DSST Vietnam War and Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union? That's 6 hours of upper level. For Vietnam, I used instantcert and The Complete Idiot's Guide to... and I slaughtered it. For Rise and Fall..., I used "The Soviet Colossus" by Michael Kort and Instantcert. I didn't do quite as well as Vietnam, but it worked.

I am also doing B.A. It is very interesting degree. Social science is also a good field for study.

My edit button disappeared but I added a few courses to the concentration. And switched Victimology with Intro to Psych because you're only allowed 6- 100 level credits.

If you are planning a broad Social Science degree, I suggest adding Microeconomics & Macroeconomics. It is tough to understand Political Science and History without an understanding of Economics.

I wanted to take micro and macro, but TESC only allows 6 credits at the 100 level, and those courses transcribe as 100 level. I don't really want to take two courses just to bump other courses into free electives which is already filled. But thanks for the advice.
