need degree plan help Liberty University Online Psychology
#1
Hello! 
I need help to create a personalized degree plan with Liberty University degree Bachelor of Science in Psychology -Developmental Psychology Cognate

http://www.liberty.edu/media/1270/PSDP-BS-D.pdf

specifically I need help with: 

1. why does it say free electives 15-27? what now? LOL I think I can fill the free electives with my prior freshman college credits but I would still like to know for sure if I need one or two more electives

2. I also need help with the specific "free" electives. 
a) Math___ (math 114 or higher) can I do a Geometry course? I had study.com in mind. 
b) What could I use as "Natural Science Elective" I am already required to take Biology. Could I do "earth science" or "Anatomy" here?
c) Communications elective: what could I do here?
d) Cultural Studies elective, would World Religions work here?
e) UNIV 104 "instructional Tech. for Online Learning. Any idea what course I could take here??? and last
f) Information Literacy Elective: I have also no clue what that means  Undecided

I would really appreciate concrete help or maybe some links where I can find this information.

Thanks!!!  Heart Heart

Here's what worked for me for the Information Systems Online degree:

1 and 2. Not sure what it means by "free electives," but would encourage you to email or chat with someone; they are very helpful!
a. I took the College Algebra CLEP and it transferred into the Math Elective. (came in as Math 121)
b. I took Biology as my Natural Science elective, so not sure about this one
c. Communications Elective was satisfied by the Business Communications class through Straighterline. Pretty easy course with some writing involved.
d. Yes, I took World Religions DSST and Cultural Studies elective is where they put it
e. UNIV 104 was waived for me and I don't remember why. You might ask them about it.
f. I took American History I CLEP and they put it under Information Literacy Elective. 

Looking back at my degree plan, here's some of my free electives (I'm guessing they put them there because they wouldn't fit anywhere else)
1. Marketing CLEP
2. English Lit CLEP
3. Western Civ (CLEP or DSST?)
4. Into to Sociology CLEP

Here's a link for a list of accepted CLEP exams by Liberty: http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=37835

DSST: http://www.liberty.edu/academics/registr...?PID=38250

Straighterline (Liberty is a partner school and you can get a discount on tuition if you transfer in enough courses): https://www.straighterline.com/colleges/...uivalency/

Hope this helps!
