Which College/Degree? A lot of credits.

[dillpickles]

I think UMPI is going to be your fastest, but looking at your completed courses I’m wondering if there is something in the sciences at Excelsior you may be close to?

This is where I'm struggling - I feel like there's probably something that isn't a general studies degree that I might be just a class or two further from, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out exactly what that is.

What is the master's degree you're looking to get?  That may help us suggest the best use of your credits for a bachelor - because you're going to have some options to choose from.

Ideally, MBA. I'm currently in the marketing world, and that would make the most sense from a career perspective.

You have most of the more difficult-to-find credits for Environmental Studies at TESU.

The course page on the TESU website is different to the academic evaluation requirements, so idk if they have changed the requirements this catalog year or if the course page is just wrong, but my husband had a lot of similar credits to you, so here's how I think yours are likely to fit. My guesstimates leave you with 16 credits remaining plus the Capstone and Cornerstone.

Since you have to take 16 credits at TESU anyway to get a degree there and avoid the residency fee you could take the classes in a flat fee term. If you wanted to take a couple of easier classes for residency credit, rather than the remaining ones off this specific degree plan, I have also included where you could find the remaining classes below.

A: Biology I w/Lab 4SH
-> Take Study.com Biology 101L: Intro to Biology with Lab

B: Environmental Sci 3SH
-> Take Study.com ENS-200 Environmental Science

C: Earth's Resources 3SH
-> Fulfilled with Geology 1 - Geo 101

D: Geology (Human) 3SH
-> Take Lawshelf Gov-202 Basics of Environmental Law = ENS-360 Environ Sustain Social Justice

E: Chemistry I 4SH
-> Fulfilled with Chemistry 1- Chem 111 (if 4 cr lab)

F: Area Courses 9SH (Anthropology of the Environment, Environmental Economics, Environmental Psychology, Global Environmental Change, Philosophy of the Environment, Politics of the Environment, Sociology of the Environment, Environmental Sustainability)
-> One of three fulfilled with Global Environmental Change - Earth 4500
-> Take Coopersmith: Environmental Sociology (SOC-345)

G: AOS Electives 12SH
-> fulfilled with Earth materials- Earth 230, Geophysics - Earth 2100, Geochemistry - Earth 2140 and Sedimentology 1 - Earth 4070, Ecology and Botany

H: Add'l AOS Elect 4SH (Study Electives in the Natural Sciences, Math and/or Computer Sciences.)
-> fulfilled with Statistics- MTH 401 and Database SQL - CIS 331

That leaves you one area course plus the capstone and cornerstone to do at TESU.

If you were paying for a 16 cr flatrate term you could add an associates, or a certificate etc to stuff any other "easier" credits into. AS Computer Science and Math for example, or AA Meteorology. Or both. Neither require associates capstones, and any courses you'd take would be lower level (i.e. for meteorology "EAS-201 The Science of Disasters" and  "EAS-101 General Earth Science").

This is really, really, really helpful - thank you so much! I hadn't gone too far down the TESC path, but this gives me direction for that option.
