fastest path to a bachelors

[Albium]

I have a lot of college credits from when I use to attend University of Texas Rio Grand Valley, but I never graduated and now I'd like to see if someone could help me to see what the fastest and most easiest way to obtain a bachelors would be. I currently am sitting on about 150 credit hours.  These are my classes I was a General Biology major. I would Greatly appreciate any guidance.

Please fill out the templates here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Do all of your classes have a grade of C or better? Are they all 3 semester credits (except the lab)? If the ones that start with 3 or 4 are UL credits, you might be 90% or more of the way to a TESU biology degree. You're missing a few classes (I don't see American Government/equivalent or an Ethics class), but you can get most of what's missing pretty quickly from Sophia.org or Study.com.

I would definitely recommend applying and sending your transcript to TESU ASAP. They'll be able to confirm how close you are to meeting the biology degree requirements. You can see a degree plan here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

If not Biology, there's also the BALS w/ Natural Science/Math concentration.

Yes, apply to TESU and see if you are done with the BA Biology degree. I would highly recommend completing the mentioned template and the last post addendum, this will provide us with more details in regard to your budget, commitments, dedicated time to study, etc. By providing us more info, we'll see a better picture, and that will clear a path for you to get the degree completed in an orderly and timely fashion.

Thanks I'll look at it when I'm able to later and yes I took us govt.

It looks like you took US & Texas Government. Typically, you need a US/American government course that does not encompass a state. Just a straight American government course.

Not true at TESU - the requirement is Civic Engagement.  They will take a State Gov course, Comparative Politics, Western Political thought, and some others.  I've seen lots of evals from there, and they've taken all kinds of things from other schools.

Unfortunately, it's going to cost quite a bit if you want that Bio degree at TESU - you're missing Physics I & II w/labs, a Microbiology w/Lab course (your Microbio course doesn't say it has a lab), Cell Biology, and Organic Chem I & II.

You're probably better off with the BALS/NatSci degree. It will be fast and cheap, since you have everything you need for the AoS already, and most of the Gen Ed.

I'd probably also take a look at your previous school - you have a lot of credit from there already, how many more credits do you need to get the Biology degree? That's worth looking at.

Did you miss where I said typically?

Did you miss where I said typically? 

I was letting the OP know that his courses he's already taken will work at TESU.  You're "typically" is a generalization that doesn't help this person in their specific instance.
