Hello everyone, I've lurked here for awhile, but haven't really focused on pursuing a bachelor's degree until recently (major life/career changes will do that to you, I guess). I'm trying to decide which of the following degrees to pursue first: BA in History, BSBA in General Management, or a BA in Criminal Justice. I currently have ~118 SH between CLEP, DSST, CCAF, and a few classes through AMU. I'm hoping to get some help figuring out what is likely to transfer under the various degree plans so I know which would require the least number of credits to achieve a degree. My courses are listed at the end of this post.
I expect that my duplicate CCAF course numbers will be invalid for more than a few credits. They were awarded for different things at different times, but I'm trying to plan worst-case scenario. I'm also expecting my English Composition and Freshman College Composition exams to be worthless, and am scheduling a College Composition (w/ Essay) test date. From what I've been able to figure out, I THINK a BA in History will be the lowest credit hour requirement for me, likely ~42 credits required, 33 of which I could probably knock out with exams (including TECEP's to meet residency requirements). I've been trying to plan this out using degree plans off of the wiki, IrishJohn and Westerner's History BA's, Bricabrac and Levi's General management BSBA, and Sanantone's Criminal Justice BA. I feel like I'm most likely missing something here, and would like to figure it out for certain before the time comes to apply to TESC (~2 months, was suggested by the advisors that I wait and apply once I'm out so I don't shift to VA benefits in the middle of classes).
