Charter Oak versus Excelsior (fastest and lowest cost to BLA and recommended route)

For the AA and to complete the Gen Eds you only need three things: Ethics (saylor or DSST should be fine), the DSST human Cultural geography exam which satisfies two requirements, and College algebra or the CLEP College Math....plus the cornerstone. When you do the cornerstone is sort of up to you. I would start ALEKS today, start the Saylor course as quick as you can confirm it will suffice for the Ethics requirement, and start studying the Human Cultural Geography....get those done by the start of the fall semester in about a month and you can just do the four classes (cornerstone plus three from CSU-Pueblo) in the fall. I detailed all this above but here it is again:


"Gen Ed
3 Ethics (there is a free saylor.org course that likely qualifies or take the DSST Exam for ($80))

3 Non US History
3 Global Understanding
COSC makes these two easy for you....simply take the DSST Human Cultural geography and satisfy both requirements ($80)

3 Math You might try ALEKS College Algebra for only $20 month till you reach 70%, or take the College Math CLEP which satisfies the requirment and gives you 6 credits for one low price of ($100)

Once those are done (or along with those) take the COSC cornerstone and receive your AA, you will have 73-76 primarily liberal arts credits at this point."

You can take the Sociology CLEP if your ready...but it's just three more LA elective credit as the requirement in social science is met by the Psychology credit you already have.
