Main difference, General Education is just Arts/Science, no business or technical, etc.
Free electives are anything including Business/Technical courses or Arts/Sciences.

Ok. They told me to take 2 more gen eds even though it puts me above 120 credits, due to how they've split up the 2 cr and 1 cr I have.
Don't know what's easiest/cheapest. Have to do it quickly as I applied for Sept grad. No more TECEPs are allowed since I applied for graduation, they said.

Cheapest/Easiest/Fastest two would be both from Saylor - Corp Communications, and Environmental Ethics
You can probably finish both on a weekend for $50. Think of them as a Davar Exam, one exam pass/fail...

I read through your info, the Ethics course will not duplicate as it's more Environmental Ethics and comes in as another number, 3 easy credits.
Your communications course from Straighterline comes in as COM 300 a different course as well than the Saylor - MAN 373.
