TESU BA Liberal Studies Course Recommendation - amit - 06-30-2016
I am pursuing BA Liberal Studies at Thomas Edison and need your help. I enrolled in 2015 and guess the requirements from then and now are different. I currently have 87 credits listed on my evaluation and since than have completed another 4 DSST exams which are:
1) Introduction to Business (Goes towards free electives)
2) Criminal Justice ( Free electives ?? General Ed ??)
3) History Of Vietnam War (UL Liberal Studies)
4) Substance Abuse (UL Liberal Studies)
So if I take these 4 exams into account, I am at 102 credits.
I need 1 course in Personal / Social Responsibilities area and I have completed following so far:
1) Ethics In America (CLEP)
2) Introduction To Sociology (CLEP)
Which CLEP / DSST / Study.com course can I take to satisfy this requirement?
I also need 1 course in General Education Electives and I have completed following so far:
1) Natural Science 1
2) Intro Humanities
3) American Government
4) American Literature 1
5) American Literature 2
Which CLEP / DSST / Study.com course can I take to satisfy this requirement? Will 3 credits from Criminal Justice DSST satisfy this requirement?
Would sincerely appreciate if you someone can guide me in the right direction as you have done in the past.

Ethics in America is DSST. You might want to consider DSST Business Ethics and Society instead which many be easier for people who have been through corporate training on ethics.

Here is the set of general education requirements for your 2015 catalog:
Thomas Edison State University | General Education Courses - 2015 or Before
Your DSST Criminal Justice (a social science) would work for the general education electives. Since you have already taken the DSST Ethics in America, the DSST Business Ethics and Society would be a good choice to fulfill the PSR. I seem to remember that SL Cultural Anthropology was another favorite way of completing that requirement.

If you posted your evaluation on here, we could help you figure out the remaining courses you could take. It's hard to know what to recommend when we don't know what courses you've taken in the past. There are tons of options available for you to take these.
Also, since you enrolled in 2015, if you are still considered enrolled, then the requirements haven't changed. You stay on the old catalog. If you enrolled and then your enrollment lapsed, then you will need to do the 2016 catalog, which HAS changed.
So check to see what catalog they have you under, and paste a copy of your eval here so we can see what you have left to fulfill.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It seems DSST Business Ethics and Society will be an option as I have already taken Sociology and Ethics in America.
Any courses from Study.com that you think might be a good fit? I am will be taking a couple of UL courses from Study.com anyway to satisfy the UL requirements.
My enrollment never lapsed and I am still part of the 2015 catalog.

Again, we can't recommend courses without knowing what you've already taken.
