Thanks a lot. Now 'I'm going to figure out which ones I want to take and knock them out one by one.

Sorry for the late reply. Just noticed this post. Below are my recommendations. I see a possible Arnold Fletcher Award in your future. Good luck!



B: Responsibility
Responsible Ethical Leadership: DSST PHI-287-DE Ethics in America
Elective: DSST ANT-101-DE General Anthropology or DSST REL-405-DE Introduction to World Religions

C: Human Cultures
Natural Sciences: DSST COS-101-DE Introduction to Computing

D: General Ed Electives (need 10cr)
Highly recommend the first 3
CLEP SOS101/SOS102 Social Sciences and History (6 cr)
TEEX CYB101 Cybersecurity for Everyone - Non-Technical (transcribed as CIS-299) (2cr-$0)
ALEKS MAT-115 Intermediate Algebra ($20)

Additional choices:
ALEKS MAT-121 College Algebra
DSST GOG-120-DE Human/Cultural Geography
DSST ENG-201-DE Technical Writing
TECEPÂ MAT-105-TE Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics (Fills Natural Sci or Gen Ed)
TECEPÂ PSY-270-TE Psychology of Women (Fills Gen Ed or Area of study. Ask if it would fill Responsibility elective) If needed, I still have my notes for Psychology of Women.


Social Science Area of Study (15cr Upper Level)

Upper Level Exams: Highly recommend (9/15cr)
DSST COU-262 Fundamentals of Counseling (transcribed as PSY 331)
DSST PSY-361-DE Organizational Behavior
DSST SOS-305-DE Substance Abuse

TESC Courses: Highly recommend one of the 6cr courses. A lot of reading but no more assignments than a 3cr course. Choose one and you've completed the area of study (15/15). With your course history, PSY379 Social Psychology would most likely be the best fit for you.

Online or Guided Study Courses:
PSY-379 Social Psychology (6 cr)
HIS-356 War and American Society (6 cr)

e-Pack Course:
PSY-363 Industrial Psychology
PSY-370 Intro to Social Psychology
These courses are independent study format. Online quizzes for each chapter are made available to the student during the registered semester. Take each quiz multiple times until all questions have been presented. Use those Q&A to compile your notes and use them, along with the text, to study for the comprehensive final exam. If needed, I still have my notes for Industrial Psychology.
