When is the right time to contact my choice of the B3? Multiple Degrees?

[sarahbellym]

Good afternoon,

I want to thank all of the folks who actively participate in answering the multitude of questions that we newbies have. I would not be doing what I am doing but for the fact that you have given me the hope and the knowledge that I can really get my degree. That being said, let the questions commence.

I want to get a Bachelor's from TESC. I started taking Straighterline courses back in January.

I have successfully completed:
Western Civ I
Western Civ II
US History I
Intro to Sociology
Intro to Religion
Intro to Philosophy
Macroeconomics
Intro to Nutrition
Intro to Criminal Justice

I have completed 4 FEMA credits. (Which probably won't be accepted by TESC now.)

In B&M schools (1991), I have
English 101
Psych 110

I plan on taking
College Algebra and US History II and Business Ethics (probably with SL)

I have read some degree paths that Sanantone and others have posted in the Wiki Forum and those have been helpful. I think I just need some folks to chime in so I feel more confident that I am moving in the right direction.

I want a Bachelors in Social Science (for myself)
and a BSBA (for my career). I don't care which one I get first.

So I guess I have three questions.

1. What other courses or tests should I take to make sure I am not duplicating efforts?
2. At what point should I begin contact with TESC?
3. How does multiple degrees work? Can a course I took for one degree be used for another? For example, can I use the same College Algebra credit for both degrees?

Insights?
