Can anyone critique this BALS degree map? - Dowew - 08-28-2019

Hi everyone.  I have created a degree plan of action for my friend's upcoming BALS degree.  I have attached it as a spreadsheet.  Can anyone review it and see if you can poke holes in it before I present it to him on saturday ?

Nice of  you to help your friend.  I'm no degree planner but.... The only UL class you have listed (other than the Capstone) that is actually  UL at TESU is Juvenile Justice.  All the others are LL and the Public Policy is not even listed as transferable.

Yep, TwinMom has it right - you need UL courses, and yours aren't. CJ 103: Public Policy & CJ isn't ACE/NCCRS approved at all, so no credit for that one.

If you want to use Study.com for all UL, you can and they have courses that will work - Psych, Comm, History, etc. But not any other CJ courses except CJ 305: The Juvenile Justice System which comes in as AOJ-364.

One other issue - your 1st column (B) shows course numbers, but some are TESU course numbers, and some aren't (looks like you are using Study.com's course numbers there?). You can't use it that way - you should only put in there how things will come into TESU to avoid confusion.
