However, all is not lost. Looking at the guideline that you put together,
The Humanities section:
MAN 373 will satisfy the Business Elective.
And, the Ethics in America will satisfy the missing Humanities.
Hope this helps you make an informed decision. Have a great day.

Thank you EDAdvisor for responding to my post. The information you provided was very useful. However, I do have one question which still troubles me. In the TESC Catalog (P.68) where they show the credit distribution requirement list for the BSBA Degree, they list Managerial or Business Communications under the Humanities category. That is what kept throwing me off. I assumed that it was mandatory for their Humanities requirement. So I was gonna take a Managerial course (MAN 373), in addition to the two CLEPS mentioned below, because their are no CLEPS/DSST/or TECEPS that correspond to this subject.
However, based on what you told me, all I need to do now is just take:
-CLEP American Literature for 6 credits
-CLEP Humanities for 6 credits
to equal the 12 credits needed to complete my Humanities requirement and put the Managerial Communications Course under the Business Elective category.
Second, it also states under the Humanities Category (P.68), "Must include at least two subject areas." So...since I plan on taking the CLEP Humanities which is
HUM-101/102-CE and CLEP American Literature which is
LIT-111/112-CE, does that alone count as "two subject areas?" If so, then technically I don't even need to take the Ethics in America for the Humanities requirement. I can just take the two aforementioned CLEPS to fulfill the 12 credit requirement.
It also states on the last page of my BSBA in General Management Sheet:
"It is strongly recommended that all BSBA students, regardless of area of study, include a business ethics subject as part of the general education or free electives component of their degree."
As you can see from my degree plan attachment, I don't need any more free electives. Those are already taken care of through my FEMA credits. And based on what we discussed above...it won't even be necessary for the Humanities requirement. So should I even bother taking the exam? If I do, it will just allow me to graduate with 123 credits when I only need 120.
So... I have updated my degree plan based on the information you provided. Please give it another once over to see if it looks alright and if other adjustments need to be made. I greatly appreciate your input and advice. Thank you for all your help.
From a loyal degree seeker,
