BALS - Humanities - Course suggestions

[bjcheung77]

Humanities suggestions from Sophia:
Conflict Resolution (you have the 1-credit course, take the 3-credit course)
Visual Communications - super easy

Thank you Rachel. I will look into the 3 CR Conflict Resolution. I think I did Visual Communications already which came in as ETH 230 Ethics in a digital age.

Here's the thing with concentrations, it depends on what your future goals are, if you're going for the BALS/BSBA GM combo and that's the final goal - Then you might just leave it without a concentration and get it done quickly.  However, if your goal is to say get an MBA or Masters, depending on which Masters you're looking into, you might want to take courses towards preparing you for that goal.  

An example, say you want to get a Walden MS in CJ or Psych, then doing the BALS with a SS concentration will give you a tad more knowledge in that area if you take some UL CJ/Psych courses.  I will also say the BSBA GM will suffice for getting entry into the Walden MBA.  Basically, it's up to you, it's personal preference on which way you want to get things done...

You can take CJ or Psych courses without a concentration.  You can take them if you have a concentration in Humanities.  Nothing stops people from taking courses they want.

Thank you Dfrecore. So, if I do just one more UL in Humanities area, I can fill the rest of the LS General course work (section 4) with pretty much any courses, keeping in mind only 6 credits can be in 100 level. That’s very good then. I should be able to find some general courses.

That's right, so if you want a concentration, take the courses you require of the concentration, otherwise any liberal arts courses will fit in the BALS. Again, nothing is stopping you from taking courses you want be it CJ, Psych or whatever that interests you. A concentration might not be for everyone, if it suits your needs go for it, otherwise skip. As easy as that...
