TESU Liberal Arts Degree; What Study courses to take - waterv1 - 09-30-2024

I got this degree plan for a Liberal Arts B.A. from a TESU degree advisor back in '22, so please let me know if anything has changed. I have an A.A. in Liberal Arts from SUNY Empire.

Sophia Courses:
  • Environmental Science (Completed)
  • Visual Communications (Completed)
  • Art History II (Completed)
  • Introduction to Ethics (Completed)
  • English Composition II
  • Public Speaking
These were the suggested Study.com Courses, of which I need 5; one must fulfill the Civic Engagement category 
  • Business 313: Organizational Communication (TESU course COM-391)
  • Business 324: Managerial Communication 
  • Business 305: Leadership Communication
  • History 306: The American Civil War
  • History 311: The Holocaust
  • History 308: Causes and Effects of the Vietnam War
  • Psychology 310: Psychology of Personality
  • Psychology 312: History and Systems of Psychology
  • English 305: Advanced Technical Writing
  • English 301: Non-Western Literature
  • Sociology 305: Sociology of Work
  • Business 323: Organizational Theory (TESU course PSY-360)

And finally, the TESU Courses:
  • SOS-110 (Critical Information Literacy)
  • LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone
Which of these Study.com courses are recommended as the easiest/quickest? I want to avoid as much writing as I can. Also, how long would this degree plan take approximately? Thank you.

I would recommend the ones highlighted in red bold...  Basically, you'll have overlapping course material from the communications classes and should be able to complete these easier and faster.  You want to make sure your enrollment is active, as it's already 2 years after 2022...

You can do lifespan development at Sophia but everything else should be the best path.

Is Lifespan Development required for the degree? The advisor didn't list that one but I'd be happy to take it.

It's not required, it's an example or recommendation as some people decide to take it as an elective, if you have a Sophia.org subscription, you may want to max the credits there first before moving over to Study.com, if you want to get a discount with Study.com, you can always use my discount code within my bio or signature.

I believe that is only for the psychology concentration.
