You could do a B.A. in History just like me. And from what I've heard from some attorney friends, a history degree is respected in the legal community, and it is one of the top three degrees to get into law school.
I did all but two of my courses via Straighterline, CLEP, DSST, ALEKS, and FEMA. The two I took/am taking through TESC are entirely online.
Bear in mind that TESC now requires all liberal arts majors to enroll and take the capstone course, which will culminate in a "baby thesis" or some sort of creative project. I am towards the end of this course, and while it is challenging at a whole new level, it is not the bear it looks like at first glance. Besides, a scholarly work like a thesis can't hurt if you are competing for jobs. :-)
