Degree plan for BA in Social Sciences - Joditd - 09-24-2012
I just found out these options were available to me a couple of weeks ago. I dug out my (very old) transcript and put together a plan for TESC for a BA in Social Sciences. If There is anyone who would mind taking a look and letting me know if I am doing this correctly, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm not sure you could put Business Law (Business Legal Environment) in general education electives. Intro to Business can't go in general education electives either. There are too many 100-level credits in the area of study. You're only allowed 6, but you planned 9. TESC may not give you credit for beginning algebra. It would most likely be labeled as developmental. The two reading comprehension courses might be labeled as developmental too, especially the one that is Drea0323. A course code that starts with "0" is almost always developmental, which means they may also not give you credit for Vocabulary.

Thank you for the reply. I thought under area of study only 18 had to be upper level? I'll have to look and see what other course I can find that is upper level. I can adjust the other classes. I was afraid those may not work. I believe they were developmental classes. It's been so long that I don't remember the state exam we had to take for college, however, the day of testing, we had a dance performance. There were a handful of us that had to take the test but our dance director told us if we were late for the performance, we risked loosing our scholarship. As a result, none of us were able to finish the test, got bad results and had to take remedial courses. It was very frustrating.
Anyway, thank you for the information. I really really really appreciate the help!

You cannot have more than six 100-level credits in the area of study. That means that after 6, all of your courses have to be 200-level or above. 200-level is still lower level. You only need 18 credits at the 300 or 400 level which probably includes the required liberal arts capstone.

Ok that makes sense. I feel like such a dummy trying to figure all this out. Thanks for the help!
