Might just want the flexibility of just the normal BALS to make it easier. You could look into business ethics and microbiology as options for your upper level course work from straighterline. Also intro to religion would be an option.
Back onto the major thing, what do you want from this degree? What is your goal with it... then work backwards from there. For me, I just needed a bachelor degree. Do you require something more specific for your field?
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am burnt out on it and hate the process, but I am so close that I am determined to finish. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I want any degree to check the box saying I have my BA. I wanted a degree in Communications, but even a concentration in Comm will set me back in terms of completion and what I can test out of.
I want a degree that's not super specific, but will fit/transfer into any business and prevent my resume from being discarded when they see I only have an Associates. The past five years I've been an executive assistant, but have worn many hats under that role - project management, marketing, SEO, event planning, developing website content, ect. Employers ask when I'm going to "finish" my degree. So anything goes. I'm thinking wrap up any quick BA and then focusing on specific technical skills at community college.
