social psych $110
weather and climate $110
world conflicts since 1990 $110
world population $110
UL from Saylor $25:
Principles of Finance (it is business not liberal arts, but I believe I saw a post somewhere saying this one was pretty easy)
Operations Management (business)
Project Management (business)
Also instantcert has a managerial accounting course that is supposedly ACE recommended UL. But accounting is difficult. If you know accounting and feel confident and EC accepts it is only $20.
None of the business courses will count in the liberal arts. Accounting is also business not liberal arts. The OP needs arts & sciences which are liberal arts courses. OP, can you share a screenshot or PDF of your MyMap from EC?

Yeah that is why they said they are business. I wasn't sure if all 30UL had to be Liberal arts not. I figured most had to be though.

Attached is my MAP.
And NO I would be AWFUL at any business or finance course.
I am confused: the Corner and Capstone don't count toward requirements??

Your map has your real name and student ID. You might want to not have that out there.

Fixed.
Here is my MAP.
RE: Degree Plan Help, please! Excelsior BSLA! - ss20ts - 07-11-2020
According to the Map, you need 18 UL cr in Liberal Arts, 3 cr LL and 12 cr UL in any thing - doesn't have to be Liberal Arts, but it can be. How many credits did you transfer in? You also need the Info Lit, Cornerstone, and Capstone which everyone ie required to take there.

I posted all that info about transferring credits in my first post
The Corner, Capstone, and Info Lit DO COUNT towards those credits needed correct?

For a BS degree at Excelsior, if you transfer in 60+ credits, your Cornerstone will be UL. I'd check with your advisor and make sure they are taking that into account. Then you'd need one less UL class!

If you're completing your bachelor's degree both Cornerstone and Capstone will be an UL course. You will need to ask your advisor if they will count towards your UL reqs.
