TESU SocSci course question

[Mamasaphire]

I hope this isn't a really stupid question.

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether a course like HEA-401 Social Issues in Health (description below) from the TESU PLA Portfolio database would be considered a SocSci AOS course?

I've never been able to figure out where any HEA course fits except Free Electives. The description certainly sounds like a SOS course, but with TESU, it's impossible to figure out what they're going to count this as. Can you just ask advising?

Thanks! That's what I was thinking too. They put my other HEA in as Electives, but I don't know if it's because the courses themselves weren't recognized and I didn't provide course descriptions.

I ended up shooting an email to Academic Advising about 10 min after I posted this, but maybe this will be helpful for others wondering in the future. I'll update when I receive a response.

HEAlth is for sure free elective and or applied technology.

The reply was confirmation of what you said, Cookderosa.

"The requested course HEA-401 does not satisfy the social sciences. The following link will take you to the list of social sciences, your remaining 12 credits must be 300/400 level.
