NAP, do you have a link to the LSU course and the cost info? I've now seen lots of references to the course, but I couldn't find the details on their site. The EC course is kind of expensive for a single credit, so having a cheaper option is excellent.
I removed the CLEP College Mathematics course because I was already at the 9 credit limit as you pointed out. I replaced that course with the DSST Art in the Western World and the three NFA courses you mentioned. Thanks for telling me about these.
I think you may be right about the Social Sciences not being specific enough to cover the depth requirement and that I may need to revise it to include more psychology related courses to cover that depth requirement.
I did want to double-check with you on the Humanities depth requirement, as I think that one would qualify. I've clearly got the 12 credits portion covered with just the literature CLEPs alone, and I used the DSST Introduction to World Religions for the Upper Level humanities course. I'd argue that in regards to World Religions it matches up with literature because of the roll played by the Bible, Koran, Hadith, Vedas, Tao Te Ching, etc., which is why I believe EC classifies it as a humanities course. Are you sure this wouldn't meet the requirements for humanities depth?
