If one of your goals is to teach at the community college level, you will need at least 18 graduate hours with the same prefix as the classes you want to teach. So, when you look for a graduate program be sure it offers that option. Western New Mexico University's MA in Interdisciplinary Studies would give you 18 hours each in History and Criminal Justice, and it's pretty affordable (search the forum for more info). Just the Social Science degree would be fine for being accepted into that program. You would not need a Cornerstone at TESC.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
