Good Gen Eds to start with?

[mysonx3]

For Ethics, go with the free ethics class for sure. I did it in just a couple hours and it's FREE!!

For Diversity, I did the Introductory Sociology CLEP (also free if you use the Modern States voucher). I found it pretty easy using Modern States, Crash Course and the Free-CLEP-Prep quick prep sheet.

For Civic Engagement, I did the American Government CLEP but I had a good chunk of pre-existing knowledge on that subject, so if that's not the case for you it might be worth paying to take it from another provider.

Lots of options for Human Cultures, depending on if you want to prioritize cheap or fast. For fast, I was able to complete Sophia.org's Ancient Greek Philosophers in under 90 minutes and there is (or at least used to be) a way to get it half-off, making it $75. If you're looking for cheap, there are a lot of CLEP options that (for the time being) are free with Modern States. Pick one that you have some background knowledge in so you can knock it out quickly!

I'm still working on Understanding the Physical and Natural World myself, but I did knock out three credits via OnlineDegree.com's Astronomy, which at $9 is about as cheap as you can get. If I was confident I could pass I would've done one of the CLEPs (Biology, Chemistry or Natural Sciences) and knocked it out in one fell swoop (since they're all six credits), so if you're comfortable with one of those subjects that's what I'd recommend.

For Gen Ed electives, it's hard to know what to recommend without knowing what your existing credits came in as so as not to recommend a duplicate, but I found the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP to be the easiest/cheapest six credits I've seen. I didn't do any studying except answering the Modern States questions to get a voucher and scored a 71. It could also count for your Knowledge of Human Cultures. Also, do the free Sophia.org Essentials of Managing Conflict. Only one credit, but very very fast and free.
