Hi All,
Just thought I'd add a little info I learned from EC...
Background...
As the bulk of my accumulated credits are in what is considered arts & sciences, I have been working towards a BA in Liberal Arts. Part of my plan included eventually taking UExcel's Literacy Instruction in the Elementary School exam for 6 Upper Level credits.
However, upon consultation with my EC Advisor, I found out EC considers this a "professional" course, not arts & sciences - thus, not accepted (for my purposes - UL credits) in the BA program...I immediately switched to a BS, which still accepts all my arts & sciences credits, plus allows me the flexibility to gain Upper Level credits in a broader selection of subjects...A Win/Win situation for me...
Again, to reiterate, for the Bachelor's Degree with the most flexibility (even for those in the arts & sciences) it's the BS not the BA Degree...
