It is a good idea for you to start on your general education credits since you are not completely sure of your major.
Here are my suggestions:
Written Communication (6 credits) - College Composition CLEP, OR Straighterline English Composition 1 and 2, OR Penn Foster English Composition and Advanced Composition. You can also replace Composition 2 with a technical writing test (DSST) or course.
Oral Communication (3 credits) - Straighterline Intro to Communication
Information Literacy (1-3 credits) This requirement is satisfied by the Cornerstone Seminar and/or the Capstone course from COSC
Ethical Decision-Making (3 credits) Business Ethics & Society DSST. This will also give you upper level credit.
U.S. History/Government (3 credits) You can use one of the U.S. history or government CLEPs here, but I suggest Civil War and Reconstruction DSST because you will also get upper level credit.
Non-U.S. History or Culture (3 credits) You can use one of the Wester Civ. CLEPs for this, but I suggest the Soviet Union DSST OR the World Population UExcel because you will get upper level credit.
Global Understanding (3 credits) Soviet Union DSST OR the World Population UExcel will also meet this requirement.
Literature and Fine Arts (3 credits) Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP OR Penn Foster Art Appreciation
Social/Behavioral Sciences (3 credits) Macroeconomics CLEP. This will also meet a Business Major pre-requisite if you go that route.
Mathematics (3 credits) ALEKS College Algebra. ALEKS Business Statistics OR Straighterline Business Statistics is also a good choice since it fulfills a Business Major pre-requisite.
Natural Sciences (7-8 credits) You can take two science courses from Straighterline plus one lab. Alternately, you can take the Natural Sciences CLEP and one Straigherline lab.
For FEMA credits, it depends, but you can take as many as 20+ credits, and they will count as free electives. Be sure to use this list when choosing your FEMA courses: https://em-study.com/emsfema/article.php...icle_id=62
