Gen Ed Electives planning: help a gal out - Gymfan15 - 08-24-2017
So, I'm on the tail end of finishing up my BSBA with TESU. I'm trying to figure out the best cost/speed plan for finishing up my Gen Eds.
A few notes:
- I'm currently at 21 required Gen Ed electives, to account for the Cornerstone waiver and the 1cr waiver for the free Ethics course
- I've already filled all my Free Electives (and those can't transfer anywhere else in my degree plan obviously)
- I'm doing one of the TEEX courses to fill 1cr in my Nat/Phys Sci category, and I'm operating under the assumption that the spare credit will be moved into my Gen Ed electives.
- I hate math so don't mention ALEKS. :p
What I've taken:
SC Vietnam War Intro: 3cr
SC Civil War Intro: 3cr
Planned:
TEEX Cybersecurity for Business: 1cr (leftover from Nat/Phys Sci)
TEEX 2: 2cr
TEEX 3: 2cr
Saylor Intro to Sociology: 1cr
SC Health Science: 3cr
SC Environ Science: 3cr
SL American History II/another easy Gen Ed: 3cr
Would that work? Would Saylor's Intro to Sociology transfer into TESU and would it duplicate a planned Sociology class I'm taking from SC? Am I making this too complicated on myself?
I always left Gen Ed Electives alone because I figured it would sort itself out eventually but now I need to actually plan in what I'm doing.
Feel free to critique, judge, applaud, etc.. I have no idea what I'm doing, haha. Just trying to make December grad.

2 of the TEEX courses you're planning on aren't considered Gen Ed Electives.
The Saylor Into to Soc course will duplicate any other Intro to Soc course you take.
Health Science isn't a Gen Ed Elective - Health courses are Free Electives. Although I don't see a Health Science courses at Study.com, so I'm not sure what you're looking at there.
I also wouldn't specifically look for 1cr courses, as they're practically just as much work and don't cost much less than 3cr courses (in most cases). Just find some 3cr courses that interest you and take them.

Thanks for clarifying all that...I had a feeling I was missing some key factors, haha. I'll look at my list again and make adjustments!
