TESC Degree choices Humanities vs. History
#2
operalady Wrote:Hello,
I'm enrolled at TESC and requested transcripts for BAs in History and Humanities. I'm considering my choices.

My courses I've taken thus far...
American Government, US History 1, Humanities, Analyzing & Interpreting Literature, English Literature, US History 2, Civil War, Management, Supervision, Intro to Business, Western Civ 1, Intro to Computing, Info Systems, Western Civ 2, Sociology, Art, Social Sciences & History, Astronomy, English Comp w/ Essay (waiting on score) 9 FEMAs, Credits so far - 75 (or 81 if I pass the English)

Right now I'm working on CLEP College Math for 6 credits.

For both degrees they say I need 3 more credits in Natural Sciences because Introduction to Computers is considered duplicate credit. Will the extra 3 credits from college math be able to fill this hole? Yes it should.

For the history degree I need 3 credits non-western history. Anyone have any suggestions for this one?
I will need 15 credits upper level 300-400 credits for the History Elective section, the only CBE course I could find was Rise and Fall of SU. Are there any more, and does anyone have any suggestions for how to fill these. (I looked into Louisana State and besides there courses Colonial America, The American Revolution, World War II, and The Vietnam War seemed like they might make my US history 1&2 duplicate credit).

For the Humanities Degree I need 24 credits.
18 must be at the 300-400 level. 2 college level courses can be at the 100 level. They must be in 3 seperate subject levels. Does anyone have any course suggestions for the 300-400 level? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]My 300 and 400 came from course work I had already completed. They took many of my Art classes, Phil courses, ID courses, Architecture classes and Photography classes. Now I had Digital Photography at a CC level and they gave me an 370 for that class. Also the DSST Business Ethics test is over a 300, and you could find an Org Communication class because that comes in at upper level also. All in all I really did not have that hard of a time to fill up the 300 to 400 section. You might want to check out BYU Independent Study courses because they have a few upper level Art history classes. BYU Independent Study - University Courses
Also look at University of Idaho
Phil 320 History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy
Phil 321 History of Modern Philosophy
Phil 361 Professional Ethics: Agricultural Ethics
Phil 450 Ethics in Science
Independent Study in Idaho[/COLOR]

Has anyone on the forum completed this degree? Yes I have.
If so how did you structure your major. 6 semester hours of Humanities coursework at any college level." What does this mean? Is that the section that is the 100 level courses? I also had alot of Art courses left over and they went into General Electives and Free Electives. I had paintings, drawing, humanities and lit classes left over.
Has anyone passed the LIB-495 that is highly recomended? No I did not take that course.Any suggestions.

Generally, I would like your opinion as to which degree I should follow, I enjoy both areas, but feel sorta lost as to how to continue on. A degree in Humanities worked out the best for me because I could use all the course that I had already taken and it still keeps me in the area the I want to be in. I really have enjoy Humanities alot.

Thank you for your opinions and suggestions ahead of time.
Operalady's daughter

Good luck with your degree.
