Advice for 7 month break from WGU
#1
In my degree progress thread, I posted the how's and why's I am pausing on my current degree with WGU till next August. I am considering my options of either taking more classes and getting licensed to teach math 5-12 or pursuing another degree during these 7 months. I really do not want to teach high school math and prefer the elementary to middle school grades. The highest I want to teach is Algebra 1 or Geometry but I do not really want to dabble into PreCalculus.
 
I had considered a BA in History at one point as private schools in my area typically only require a BA to teach. I am not sure if TESU will accept WGU courses?  Is TESU the best option for a history degree? History has always been a favorite subject of mine to personally study and to teach. But would it be better to pursue a Liberal Arts degree? I am considering all options right now. Any advice anyone? Here is a list of courses I have taken:
