TESC Degree Plan - Psychology - aidenn - 08-16-2011
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently a MCH major at another college, but I am addicted to the CLEP lifestyle. I am thinking of concurrently doing a BA in Psychology from TESC. I've gone through what I think is a fairly sound degree plan, but everyone has been so helpful to others here, I thought I'd post it and get some feedback.
Full disclosure: I have not yet applied to TESC yet, mainly because I am spending most of my free cash on my current degree, but if this plan to dual major is feasible, I'd really like to give it a shot and apply to TESC.
Thanks in advance to everyone for helping me out!

I'm not real good with making degree plans, but one thing I did notice was you only have Analyzing and Interpreting Literature as 3 credits. It is 6. This means you can take the extra 3 credits you don't need from it in the humanities section and move them to gen. ed electives and get rid of a CLEP or DSST from there.
Make sense?
I'm sure more people will have suggestions for you! Good luck with your degrees.

Thank you! I was just trying to jam numbers in where they'd fit and I completely forgot it was 6 credits! Most appreciated!

Aidenn,
You might want to also confirm here's to your health (usually free elective) will count as gen ed for the psych degree. The additional 3 credits from the A&I Lit exam that HorseManiac noticed, will definitely fit in gen ed so that will offset HTYH. Otherwise your plan looks great! Hopefully someone who has more experience with the degree will chime in.

Thanks for your help on that. With the extra 3 credits from A&I, I decided to just keep the computer science DSST anyways, since it's an easier test for my background than HTYH.
My main question now is will my anatomy & physiology count as a free elective or a general education elective? My B&M school treats it as a science, but I am not sure how TESC might treat it. If they don't take it as a general ed elective, I may end up taking another CLEP in its place.

If the natural science/math section is filled those credits (MAT BIO COS CIS...etc) would then roll to general education.
