With crucial information scattered and hidden throughout the site, I find them much more confusing to plan for. But I'm going to do my best. I know that you can get a BALS, BALS History, and BSBA are possible entirely through alt credit and the Psych degree is mostly possible (with just COSC stats being required). Anything else I'm missing? I think that's it from COSC.

- There is no set amount of credits you need for the GE, since a course can fulfill multiple requirements (so I'd remove wording about 40/41cr being required)  Example: bring in World Literature and American Government and you cover 5 areas with 2 courses

- 2 science courses are required - 1 with a lab - so I'd change the wording in the "Info" section

- CLEP College Composition Modular will work for Written Comm (pt1)
- CLEP College Composition w/Essay will work for Written Comm (pts 1 & 2)
- UExcel College Writing will fulfill Written Comm (pt1)
- UExcel English Composition will fulfill Written Comm (Pts 1 & 2) but I wouldn't include it as it's $470
- you left out Study.com courses for the 1st section, not sure if that's intentional?

- for Ethics, I think you can use any of Study.com's UL Ethics courses here as well, and they'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone (ethics + UL in the Liberal Arts area)
- Ethics - 2 DSST exams offered

- once you get the other sections done, I will help there as well. SO many options, it's going to be hard to list them all.

- some examples of courses/exams that will kill multiple birds with 1 stone:
GEO 101: Human & Cultural Geography (Study.com) - Global Understanding/Non-US History & Culture/Behavioral Science
ENG 204 - World Literature (ONU) - Global Understanding/Non-US History & Culture/Literature & Fine Arts
HIS 379 - Latin American History and Politics (ONU) - Global Understanding/Non-US History & Culture/Social & Behavioral Science/UL

Even if you don't do these exact exams, you can see what a similar course would come in as.

I'm confused and asking. On COSC's website under General Education Requirements it says, "If credits apply to more than one category, credits will be counted only once towards the total needed for the degree. For Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, a total of 40 general education credits are required for graduation"

https://www.charteroak.edu/catalog/current/undergraduate-degree-requirements/gen_ed_requirements.php

I always took that to mean that if someone fulfilled multiple skill area requirements with just one course, then he still needed other gen education courses to get to the magic 40 number of GE credits.  Similar to the idea of GE electives vs GE required?

Have I not understood that all this time? It seems to say the opposite of what you are saying.?? confused.

I've been working from the updated exam list here: https://www.charteroak.edu/catalog/current/sources_credit/2020-21_list_of_tests_and_credit_values.pdf and going back to fill in SDC/Sophia options. There is a lot to go off! I've done up to Science & Math and I know I've skipped at least some TEL Learning and ASU EA options as well. 

As for the Gen Ed credit numbers, that's taken directly from https://www.charteroak.edu/psychology/psychology-brochure.pdf and the other brochures that list a minimum of 40 credits as a requirement. I will add in a bit about requirements overlapping, etc., though.

OMGOURD YES. Thank you for doing this! I am getting to the conclusion COSC is the best option for me, but I have been so confused about the liberal arts requirement, and how the credits listed never add up close to 120. I already have a traditional BA so I am hoping that fills in all the liberal arts, upper level, and RA credits.
