Definitely take at least one or two from Study.com so you get the affiliate pricing. Save you $1000 even after paying for the membership. Get the Guardian scholarship and Study.com can even be free for 6 courses.

Any suggestions on Study.com classes that I still need to complete?

Paramedic12, easiest/quickest way to figure out what you need is to get a spreadsheet up and running for reference/tracking purposes, you can use the sample BALS that I have in my dropbox (see Beginners Guide Sticky post#5). Use as many Shmoop courses (change those UL psych courses from Study.com to Shmoop), and then you can map out what courses you have left.

Note: You can transfer everything to the BALS but the capstone, and up to 90 credits from one source, that's 117 credits total. You have 20 general education credits that can be "any arts/science course", and 27 FREE credits to be "practically anything", do all the free/cheap courses in that list. If you need some courses not offered by Shmoop, finish it off at Study.com or Straighterline, if you are a good test taker, take your hand at Davar or Saylor.
