Need 15 UL credits for BALS at TESU. Suggestions? - kevinmane - 02-15-2018

Need 15 upper level credits towards the BA Liberal Studies degree at TESU.

In your opinion, which ones are the easiest to get and from where? Price is not a factor.

I was thinking I would get at least 6 from straighterline:

Business Comms (COM-300)
and Org Behavior (MAN-311)

what else you got?

Honestly, it really depends on what you're good at. Do you like History? Psych? Computers? Math? It will be different for everyone.

With that being said, the 2 you listed would be on my list.

Doesn't matter. I don't like anything, but I'll do anything I need to in order to get the credits.

Some UL Shmoop courses people have taken (I've taken Shakespeare's Plays and Literature in the Media, neither was too difficult):

SHMO0020 Holocaust in Literature - ENG301 The Holocaust
SCHO0022 Literature in the Media - LIT430 Literature and the Media
SHMO0023 Modernist Literature - LIT399 Special Topics 
SHMO0025 Shakespeare's Plays - LIT320 Shakespeare I
SHMO0028 Women's Literature - LIT323 Women in Literature

Shmoop is a very cheap option if you can plow through multiple courses in a month.  And there are quite a few other options listed throughout the forum.   This is from a dfrecore post on other UL credits:
