Trying to Figure Out Best Degree Option at TESC

[embitca]

Hi All,

I've been reading this forum for awhile and I've finally decided to take the plunge as I want to enroll at TESC before July 1st to get the original gen ed requirements grandfathered in.

I am expecting to be able to transfer in approximately 87-90 University credits that I took many, many years ago. I've been just over 30 degrees shy of earning a degree of years, but I loathed the University I went to and the last time I enrolled there to take some continuing ed classes I had so many problems with their Bursar's office I've finally said the hell with it. I'm not dealing with them anymore.

I've pretty much got my mind set on TESC because I do not want to have to take two classes when one will do. Capstone is more than enough :ack:

I'm going to order transcripts to be sent to them this week and I'll do my application shortly as well, but since I know they take a long time to evaluate and I wanted to get started NOW I thought I'd run my university transcript by you all and see what you think.

I'm trying to figure out what I need to work on besides the obvious math and sciences which I just never took at all. I was thinking BA English initially, but with all the English credits I have I'm not sure that any of them actually fit TESC's requirements for Survey of Literature I & II or Analysis and Interpretation of Literature. I also don't have any Non-western Lit credits either. So then I was thinking Humanities because it seemed natural to me that all my Women's studies credits would fit that perfectly, but TESC considers Women Studies to be interdisciplinary and not necessarily Humanities. So now I'm thinking that BA Liberal Arts might be the most convenient? I honestly do not care what subject I get the degree in, I just want it over and done with

Here's the details of my current transcript:

(I don't know why they have the same numbers, I think maybe it was a seminar class with rotating topics)

Classes with a C in front were the B&M universities original "core" classes, ie gen ed.

The three asterisked classes were all taken at a community college, everything else is from a four year university. Also, I took a remedial pass/fail Fundamentals of Algebra class. I'm assuming TESC would not accept it as a gen ed requirement, but do you think they might give me elective credit for it? It was only worth two credits. I'm terrible, terrible at math.

One of the main reasons I never graduated is because I am terrible at and hate math and science so this time around I want to tackle those first -- if anyone has any tips on what tests I should start with or if I should do something like ALEKS instead, that would be great?
