I'm done too!!

I just received my letter from TESC certifying my graduation for a BA Liberal Studies this September. It took me roughly a year to complete using transfer credits from my Airline Transport Pilot License (ATP) and previous B&M schools. I initially enrolled in the BS Aviation which gave me a lot more transfer credits but in the end discovered it was cheaper and simpler to switch degree programs. I lost 20 credits by switching but made them up using Straighterline. Thanks to bricabrac for helping with my new degree plan in this thread http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...libst.html

Here's the breakdown of how I did it, hopefully this will help someone else plan their degree.
