From Business to Arts - the degree quandary - operalady - 01-04-2010
My son is to the blessed half way point of an associates degree. He was headed down the business degree path but as time goes on he is more and more anxious to get into the job market with a degree, almost any degree. We've been discussing an associates in Arts from TESC. Here is what he has so far:
Bold = passed
I. General Education
English Composition
CLEP English Comp w/ Essay
B. Humanities (must include two subject areas)
CLEP Humanities - (6)
DSST Technical Writing or DSST Ethics in America
DSST Art of the Western World - (3)
C. Social Sciences (must include two subject areas)

D. Natural Sciences

E. General Education Electives
CLEP Social Sciences and History

As you can see his free electives are full of business courses but I feel this is the time to decide whether to go on with the business plan or go for an AA so he can more easily transfer his credits to a bachelor's degree.
