The Evaluation is done, and here's what we have.

So it looks like I've fulfilled my Written English Requirements, Humanitites Requirements, Social Science/History (other than Macro/Micro), Natural Science/Mathematics.
I was surprised to see that I have fulfilled 17 out of 45 credits required for the Business Component, as I really have not taken any business courses.
Looks like I need 31 credits from General, 28 Credits from Business, and 1 credit from IL, meaning I have fulfilled half of my requirements with my previously attained college credit and IT certifications (even thought most of my arts I took in community college were all duplicates ((music)))
I wonder how many credits I would need if I switched to Liberal Studies and added the FEMA courses.
