Does the master's degree program(s) have any specific requirements?

No, EC does not accept D grades for transfer credit.

Each school handles UL credits differently and requires a different amount. EC seems likely to follow the way your original college counted them. TESC seems to use their own database to decide UL even for community college (2-year school) courses and proficiency exams.

TESC may have a degree in Humanities or Art that fits your interests.

To give you some info to use to compare, a BS in Liberal Studies requires 30 UL credits at EC. If you do not have any already, here are the UL choices using mostly DSSTs -

The most inexpensive way I know of to get 30 UL credits for a BS is going to be (by enrolling after July 1, 2010):

6 out of 7 DSST exams in Arts & Sciences – 18 UL –
Civil War
Soviet Union
Money & Banking
Business Ethics & Society
Criminal Justice
Ethics in America
World Religion

1 ALEKS Stats – 3 UL - if wanted instead of 1 DSST from above

1 Capstone course at EC – 3 UL - required, double-check that it will be Arts & Science and not Applied Professional

3 out of 5 DSST exams in Applied Professional – 9 UL – at most or more from above
Management Information Systems
Principles of Finance
Substance Abuse
Business Law II
Here’s to Your Health

Be careful of duplication with your current credits. Also, a BALS does not allow UL in Applied Professional; all 30 UL credits would need to be in Arts & Sciences.

There are now some lower-priced ECE's too. You'll need to check on which ones are still UL. Shortened Exams - excelsior.edu

Also, you will need 2 depths at EC, which are 9 LL and 3 UL in the same subject. You seem to have a good start in several subjects, like history and psychology.

I know you are close to finishing your degree at your current school. I hope this helps you see where you are in regard to the Big 3 and whether or not it is a good idea to transfer at this point.
