Very good! I posted a sample BA in History degree plan at Degree Forum Wiki awhile ago in case anyone is interested: TESC BA in History Degree Plan Template - Degree Forum Wiki

For the ECE World Conflicts Since 1900 you have a question mark whether this counts as UL or not. Even though I haven't taken it myself, I do believe it does since Excelsior rates this at the 300 level:

Exam Details: HISX-340

The ACE National Guide also recommends this exam be counted as UL, something TESC usually goes by.

For the extra history course you'll need I highly recommend taking HIS-310 The Middle East at TESC in addition to the DSST Introduction to the Modern Middle East (counts as HIS-309 at TESC) as the material covered in both is virtually the same. I'm hoping that Saylor will eventually receive approval for UL history courses soon so a student can save a lot money by just taking some from them.

For anyone who is interested, there are some other sample degree plans at DF Wiki:

Sanantone, you ought to add these to DF Wiki so more people will be able to find them once this thread becomes old and lost.
