Please Help! My newb-itis is killing me...

sanantone Wrote:I'm getting a little lost here. Why is it so important for you to have calculus in the area of study? Your transcript will just show a list of courses broken down by source such as the name of the college, CLEP, ACE, etc. It won't say where the credits were used in your degree.

Here’s a look at my concentration area. The last 3 options are clear cut. I know I will need to get 7 more UL credits that consists of any classes in the Natural Sciences and Math degree category on this page, General Education Courses I currently already have 8 UL credits all in Organic Chemistry for my concentration. I also have 6 credits that consist of 2 classes that are at the 100 level and can’t take any more classes that are less than 200 due to a requirement for the degree. This brings my current total in the Area of Study to 14. This leaves a remainder of 10 credits that must be taken.

A: Concentration (24) (In Progress)
Semester Hours Completed: 14.00 Required: 24 Remaining: 10
__________________________________________________ ___________________ 3 credits-- can be 200 level (or above) could switch Anat & Phys. I to here and add 3 new free electives
__________________________________________________ ___________________ 3 credits must be upper level
__________________________________________________ ___________________ 3 credits must be upper level
__________________________________________________ ___________________ 1 credits must be upper level
The issue is with the first requirement in the requirements list shown above as Lindagerr pointed out previously. If one of my existing 200 level classes can fill this slot after it gets displaced from its current location in Intellectual and Practical skills or anywhere else for that matter when the ALEKS math course transfers in then I will not have to go through the hassles of another 200 or above class to fill this slot. Make sense?
In other words for my 7 UL credits I plan to take the following classes
1. Linear Algebra (3 credit UL class)
2. Calculus III or another 4 credit UL class like microbiology at Straighterline (4 credits)
For the last 3 credits of the 10 credits total that I am short in the major I must take a 200 or above level course unless another class is moved in from somewhere else after I have taken the ALEKS math course.
I think this grew confusing because I was not very good at explaining what I was looking for. With this plan I can finish out with just two classes and a fast day or two program in ALEKS for math that will end up bumping one of my other math classes up into my area of study to satisfy the requirement found on the first line of the requirements seen above. Without this, I would have to take a third 200 or higher level course in addition to the two I am planning to take for the major since I have already maxed out 100 level courses. In Math and Natural Sciences unlike some areas of study it seems to be a bit more difficult to find a 200 and above level class that can be done super quickly and one that does not require one or two prerequisite courses.
