Which Sophia Courses don't fit a BALS - SweetsugarNL - 03-03-2021
So I follow courses through Sophia.
I'm wondering which courses don't fit for a BALS (COSC).
I think I have read somewhere that many Business courses don't fit in a BALS.
I know the list of courses is long. Does anyone know which courses I can skip?

Thank you, but it doesn't say if it counts for a BALS or only for a BSBA.

The BALS degree at COSC allows for 30cr of non-liberal arts courses. If you switch to the BSLS degree, you can then take 60cr of non-LA courses.
