need some help planning a TESC history degree, please

[clep3705]

I'm trying to help someone with a TESC history degree and it is outside of what I really understand. Here is the course and exam tally to date:

I used Westerner's post as a starting point and came up with this degree plan:

1. GENERAL EDUCATION (60 required)

A. College Composition (6 required)
-CLEP College Composition (6)

B. Humanities (12 required)
-CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature (6)
-CLEP English Composition (6)

C. Social Sciences (12 required)
-Criminal Justice courses (6)
-CLEP Introductory Sociology (3)
-Government 1 course (3)

D. Math (3 required)
-Statistics course

E. Natural Sciences (9 required)
-Astronomy courses with labs (8)
-Nutrition course (3)

F. General Education Electives (18 required)
- DSST Business Ethics (3)
- Government 2 course (3)
- CLEP Introductory Psychology (3)
- Lifespan psychology course (3)
- Literature course (3)
- CLEP Introduction to Computing (3)


2. MAJOR—HISTORY (33 required)

A. Western History (6 required)
-CLEP Western Civilization 1 (3)
-CLEP Western Civilization 2 (3)

B. American History (6 required)
-CLEP US History 1 (3)
-CLEP US History 2 (3)

C. Non-Western History (3 required)
- UL DSST Modern Middle East (3) to be taken

D. History Electives (15 required)
- LL DSST Civil War & Reconstruction (3) to be taken
- UL DSST Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union (3) to be taken
- UL DSST History of the Vietnam War (3) to be taken
- LL DSST Western Europe Since 1945 (3) to be taken
- TECEP World History from 1600 or ECE World Conflicts Since 1900 ??? (3) to be taken

E. UL TESC course Liberal Arts Capstone (required)

3. FREE ELECTIVES (27 required)
- DSST Public Speaking (3)
- DSST Ethics in America (3)
- DSST Introduction to World Religions (3) to be taken
- DSST Technical Writing (3)
- Physical activity course (1)

6 upper level DSST tests will have been passed by the end of this summer.

Questions

1. Will the two extra hours of natural science carry over to free electives? If so, only 12 more hours of electives are needed.

2. Will either TECEP World History from 1600 or ECE World Conflicts Since 1900 be allowed? In other words, is there an overlap from the CLEP and DSST history tests that would make the TECEP or ECE a duplication?

3. Must everything else be complete before starting the TESC liberal arts capstone course? In other words, can it be taken with, for example, a history course and an elective not yet complete?

The goal is to graduate in December. If that's not possible, the secondary goal is to have everything else completed this year and start the capstone in January.
