As easy as that??  And then CSMLearn and Taking Charge of Your Personal Finances just fit?  How many electives in the new plan?

As easy as that, yes. Here's the new catalog for BALS Health and Wellness: https://iq3prod1.smartcatalogiq.com/Catalogs/Thomas-Edison-State-University/Current/Undergraduate-Catalog/Degree-Programs-and-Certificates/Bachelor-of-Arts/BA-in-Liberal-Studies/BA-in-Liberal-Studies-Health-and-Wellness-Concentration and the list of all BALS degrees: https://iq3prod1.smartcatalogiq.com/Catalogs/Thomas-Edison-State-University/Current/Undergraduate-Catalog/Degree-Programs-and-Certificates/Bachelor-of-Arts/BA-in-Liberal-Studies

Already-enrolled students can use the what-if tool to see what will happen if they update to the new catalog. Choose the same degree (for instance, health & wellness BALS) from the drop-down menu. Choose 2021-2022 for the catalog year.

But, that doesn't really help someone who's trying to figure out the difference.  Because you now need more GE-type courses for the AoS.  So, knowing that business classes (in general) are free electives also applies to the AoS.  Knowing that GE's means Humanities, Social Sciences, Math, and Natural Science is important.
