(TESU) Criminal Justice Degree Help - Bollba - 10-30-2018

I'd like to do as much as possible on Study.com since the format works well with me. I don't really know how to go about planning this and don't want to take courses that aren't going to help me make a dent. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

History 108, Library science 101, Criminal justice 305, Philosophy 103, Criminal justice 104, Sociology 101, English 105 and communications 120 all from Study.com. So about 30 credits from Study.com and the other 30 from a Local CC.

You'll have to make it easier for me if you want a degree plan. I can't tell if the course numbers you listed in the 1st post are TESU equivalencies or something else. List Study.com courses first, then CC courses. Number of credits as well. Use TESU course equivalencies if you have all of them, otherwise it just gets confusing.

So it looks like you already got an eval by TESU? So I'm just going to give you the old pdf I have for the BS in CJ, since it looks like you don't need the GEs. It's a little bit older, so you may need to do additional research on where to find additional courses. Study.com has a few (only 1 UL), PF has a bunch (2 UL), PRopero has a bunch (none UL), but the real place to get the UL's is CSU-Global CBE's. All 10 of their CJ exams are UL. You will have to supplement with them to get your 5 UL courses fit into the degree (and 4 of those will have to be in the core, only 1 will be an elective, unfortunately).
You'll need to check with TESU to make sure that the courses you're taking will fit into the correct slots - I would enroll and get courses preapproved before taking them.
You may also want to check with COSC and/or EC.

Forensic Science at SDC i thought was somewhat easy.
You could probably pass the Intro to law enforcement DSST right now with minimal study.
