TAMUC General Studies (BGS CBE)

[bradm31]

I completed the ORGL program, and I would recommend it. However, it will not exempt you from completing longer papers, as there is still quite a bit of writing, especially with Capstone 1 and 2. I think you would have a great foundation with your experience in the military. I work for a Fortune 500 company in management, and I was already familiar with most of the concepts, so I could quickly get through the courses. However, you will still need to put in the work to finish at an accelerated pace.

Yeah those capstones look crazy. I saw someones review on them, kind of keeping my away from it as a degree.

I am not a strong writer, and I was able to finish capstone 1 and 2 for ORGL. You are going to have papers to write in several classes, no matter which major you pick. My wife had to write papers for the classes she took in BGS. The difference between my wife and I, is she is a strong writer and can just knock out the papers, while I have to really slow down to figure out how to put my thoughts on paper. I can fly through reading assignments and multiple choice or fill in the blank. My wife and I are definitely opposites when it comes to study skills and strengths and weaknesses in a class.

I suppose that is good to hear then. I am a strong writer as well, minus history. I failed every single History 2 paper pre-test. I am considering just failing the course and taking Hist 2 on sophia and transferring it in. Never struggled so much interpreting a prompt as I have in this history class lol.
