BS general studies with physics concentration: Worth less than a physics major?
#21
The above links may certainly be helpful in obtaining upper level credits. However, I am not sure if they would let me take the courses seperately instead of being strictly as part of the degree program.

Also, I am looking for self-paced courses to complete the upper level credits with.

After e-mailing Charter Oak it doesn't seem like they could offer any physics concentration to me.

Now, I am instead currently thinking of getting a degree with mathematics concentration from Charter Oak. I still want to have many credits in physics as part of my degree plan, but it just wouldn't be awarded a physics concentration. I would want the same amount of physics credits as part of my degree as would be typically required for a major or concentration, as in 36 or more. I would obtain 24 credits from the Physics GRE subject test, and the rest of them would be from other sources, such as self-paced online physics courses. These would be upper-level classes that I would want to obtain credit for.

My goal after getting my degree being to apply for graduate school in physics, I would want to have all of these physics classes as part of my degree in order to be able to get into physics grad school with enough physics credits that I would need to in order to be in physics grad school.
