BA Social Sciences from TESC - cookderosa - 07-21-2008
Since I just finished my BA in Social Science from TESC, I thought I would post my degree plan that I used. This document has been my good friend for the past 18 months. For those interested in earning your BA in Social Sciences, you might find this helpful- but there are many many paths to earning that degree, this is only one way. If you have not written down a plan, I suggest doing it- it is very good to have a clear plan laid out to track your progress.
Good Luck everyone!

BA Social Sciences from TESC - cframe - 01-16-2010
Jennifer,
With the recent changes TESC made to the Social Science and History degree, would it be easy for you to take a minute and note next to your original post what courses would now change?
I could do the leg work too, but if you have it at the tip of your fingers, please do share!
Thanks (again).

Cook,
Do you have any info on LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone? I was told early on it caps off the liberal arts and social science degree. It was not required as part of my degree plan but I have not heard any discussion about the course (good or bad). I'm wondering if its a bear? ....

BA Social Sciences from TESC - cookderosa - 01-21-2010
sorry guys, just got back from a great vacation (from florida to an ice storm lol)
Anyway, it might be a couple days before I can get caught up- as for modification, it's going to be adding history in for sure....and I hate history....so just off the top of my head that's the one major change. The social sciences that I love best (psych, soc, anthro) are mainly lower level unless you start using the other exams. To stick with CLEPs and DSSTs, it'll require the histories.

I just rec'd a notice that this thread was liked, but I want to emphasize that this was from summer 2008 and the degree plan I followed does NOT work under the current catalog!!
