It was reported by a student that you can add a minor that isn't in the YourPace program provided you get all the credits through alt credit providers. 

It is probably best to get all the credits needed for your main degree first, enroll, ask to add the minor, do all the credits, and transfer them in before your term begins.

This does open Pandora's box.

Really, then, you could get a BLS with History minor - whether you brought in any courses in History or not.  The upside here is that you don't need 2 semesters of Spanish (1 only); and the ability to actually choose which History courses you want to take, rather than taking the specific ones required for the History major.

For someone who was interested in becoming a Social Studies teacher, a BLS w/Education & History or PoliSci minors gets you something you might like.

I think the big differences are the Spanish and number of history and political science courses you take. Although it isn't clear on the website, you can pick many of your classes with the History & Political Science major as well. There is a list of requirements that does include US History I and II and World Civilization I and II (which Western Civilization does not fulfill), and your foreign language sequence, but after that the degree opens up a bit.

I don't know what the political science concentration looks like, but the history concentration is:

Political Science Course
Political Science Course 
UL History Elective (US)
UL History Elective (Non-Western)
UL History Elective (Pre-Modern)
UL History Elective
UL History Elective
UL History Elective
UL History Elective
UL History Elective

For the non-western course you can choose either Arab-Israeli Conflict or Native American History and, as far as I can tell, for pre-modern you're essentially stuck with Medieval Europe. But the rest of the classes are open to you, as long as they're UL. Your choices for UL history courses include:

Early Modern Europe
Modern European History
Environmental History
Native American History
Arab-Israeli Conflict
International Relations and Modern Conflicts
Modern China
Discovering and Interpreting Local History
Oral History
The Vietnam Wars
Slavery in the United States
Films of the Cold War

I don't know what they offer to fulfill the POS courses, as I transferred in POS 101 and POS 103 from Study.com, and that took care of that. (I also transferred in two UL history courses from Study.com, but that was unintentional: I took them when planning on TESU.) Anyway, I know it's not super clear on the website, as it looks like you have to take specific classes, but you do have some choice, especially knowing you can transfer in one or two UL history courses from elsewhere and they could count toward the degree.
