Does it matter which electives go into the degree slots? - Ideas - 01-19-2018

For an employer or future school, they don't see what course filled what requirement, right?

For example, say TESU put Intro Psych in one slot. But I think Business Ethics would look much better there since it's a business degree. But nobody sees this except me and my Advisor and the person approving graduation, right?

(Also this eval shows my grades from my CC, but I know that doesn't go on the transcript.)

The Federal Gov't never wants a degree diploma.  They always demand the official transcript and would see all your courses.  I do not think they would care about what ethics course you took.  In some rare jobs, they would count how many accounting or finance credits.

No, the transcript doesn't show what courses are put where. It just shows the degree that was conferred and lists all the courses taken or transferred to the school.
