Here is the plan for my daughter and the LA @ TESC- She picked out the classes, but wanted to know if there was anything else she can take besides all the history classes for this degree? She wanted to more "ARTSY" type history classes or something else.

She needs 24 credits (7 TECEPs and a Capstone) to be eligible for the Pay Credit tuition plan, thereby waiving the enrollment fee and saving $$$.

Also, Saylor credits are 3 hours for only the ProctorU fee ($25 per exam). This list is from a current thread:

I have heard that Managerial Communication can also count as COM-373 for Humanities credit.

@KayV
I'm not understanding the 7 TCEPS for the pay credit tuition plan. Can you explain this to me? Sorry to be so thick. This is all new to me.

The Per Credit Tuition Plan lets you avoid the high enrollment fee under the Enrolled Options Plan. The caveat is that it has a 24-credit residency requirement for bachelor’s degrees. However, TECEPs are cheap ways of fulfilling the residency requirement. 24 credits from TECEPs will cost $888, and you get the bonus of filling in areas for which you would have used CLEP, DSST, or something else. The enrollment fee is $3,154 under the Enrolled Options Plan, and that doesn't cover any credits.
Bricabrac has a wealth of more information about TECEPs in her signature links.

Thank you for explaining. I will find bricabrac

I have been looking at the plan you have above and noticed that your daughter had a lot of business electives in her free electives section. You might discuss with her the fact that a business degree is much more marketable than a BA in Liberal Studies. In the plan below, I took the classes you listed above and more or less rearranged what she had already listed, taking away the courses she was not thrilled about and replacing them with things she might be interested in. I also put in some TECEPs for the cost reduction, and as many no- and low-cost courses as possible.
