Hello, everyone! First time post, but have been lurking and learning a lot here in the past few weeks. I'm hoping to get some advice...
I've been looking at options to finally complete a bachelor's degree. I have an AA degree that I completed at a CC. No UL courses completed yet.
I was thinking about WGU BSBM and have been admitted. I really like the price and their unique approach to online education. For those reasons, I think I've been trying to convince myself that it's a great idea. But, if I'm honest...I really don't want a degree in business. I've taken business courses in the past, got A's in them, but they were definitely not my favorites :ack:. I actually work at a community college (can take LL courses here for free, if I need to) and plan to continue working here for the foreseeable future. So, I don't need a bachelor's in any specific field, but it'd be nice to check that box! I figure, I should at least major in something that I have an interest in-- sociology, humanities, etc. With the BSBM, I'm worried that I will hate the content, have difficulty forcing myself to learn it, and might eventually lose motivation to complete the program.
There are a decent number of schools that offer online Sociology programs, but they are usually quite costly. Are there some affordable options for a Sociology or Social Science type degree? I would even consider something like the BALS offered by TESU...if I could find enough UL course options of interest to meet the requirement, without having to do them through TESU and pay their tuition rates.
Non-TL;DR version: I'm looking for affordable bachelor's degree options in the field of social science.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
