Tesc liberal studies eval help - Tabber222 - 11-09-2010
long time lurker and procrastinator here. I've finally got the ball rolling here and applied to TESC with the intent of the BA in Liberal Studies. I have a lot of B&M credits from a less successful attempt at college, as well as some military credits and FAA certificates. To me it looks like I only need about 6 or 7 CLEP/DSST tests, but what do you think? here is what I've got so far:

I'm pretty sure the aviation credits can be applied as free electives only. I'm sure some of this will change once my advisor looks at it, but so far is everything plumb? Are those the easiest Dantes tests that i should take or would anyone recommend something else?
I'll go ahead and say thanks for anyone that cares to comment on my plan/goal etc. This forum has been a great resource to me and I'm sure it will remain so in the future. Thanks for paying it forward

Heres to your health and Ethics in America only count as lower division credits at TESC. Ethics is 200 level though so that won't count against your 6 100 level credit max in your major requirements. Additionally Heres to your health is human service credits at TESC and will not count as general ed. Your POLS American Government class will likely fulfill your missing social science gen ed requirement. I would take A&I Lit and Social Sciences and History for some easy credits to fill out those gen ed electives. The Org Behavior DSST counts as a 300 level psych class at TESC and is pretty dang easier using just IC cards.
Other than that stuff your plan looks pretty solid.

Thanks for the advice! Any suggestions on other upper level dsst tests for the major area? Those will probably be the ones I do first. Im still holding out hope hat some of the credits from my army transcript will fill requirements in the gen ed areas.
