Rethinking TESC, considering Excelsior: Degree Plan: BA Humanities (comm conc.)?

[cabreban]

Ok, so I want to go to grad school (maybe in OT which can be competitive), and I want to make sure I have a GPA to use for entrance (i.e. at least an overall GPA). The only school that gives an Overall GPA is Excelsior...correct? So I changed my major with Excelsior (from Health Sciences) to Humanities with a concentration in Communication. Does this look like a decent degree plan? Do I need more upper level classes...and if so, how many? Any drawbacks to Excelsior? BL220 Legal & Ethical Environment, shouldn't this satisfy the Ethics class requirement?They have been fighting me on transferring credits which is frustrating.

My background is that I was a former Organizational Communication major at another university where I did not complete my degree. Presently I am in Occupational Therapy Assistant school (OCTA) for my Associates in Applied Science. I graduate in June 2016.
