First Post - TESC Academic Evaluation Questions

[npk32]

OP, have you thought about changing your major from History to Social Science? It would open up a lot of upper-level CLEP/DSSTs in Psychology and Social Science, thereby avoiding all this portfolio business. They might even let you use that HIS-101. Something to think about...

I don't really have a degree preference. The reason I chose history is because it's one of my hobbies and I can pass a lot of the CLEP/DSSTs with minimal studying. Also, I hate math and being able to attain a degree without having to take any additional math classes appeals to me. That being said, I'm open to any suggestions on minimizing the amount of time and money necessary to complete a degree. I've included my academic evaluation below, does it look like there's an easier path than the BA in History?
