The only 100-level credits you'll be able to use are World Civilization I and II or World History I and II AND American History I and II. The rest of your 18 credits will be the liberal arts capstone and 15 credits of upper level courses. That means all of your other lower level history courses will end up in gen ed or free electives. TESC will not award upper level credit for any community college courses. You would also have to take an upper level history course because there are not enough tests. It's cheaper, faster, and easier to just take a test or Straighterline course.
By choosing history you'll be able to use six more 100-level credits, but you will spend hundreds of more dollars getting those last three UL history credits. Honestly, your psych tests more than make up for those six credits being pushed to free electives. If you choose history, you will have your upper level psychology course pushed to gen ed or free electives. I think that is much more of a waste. The other two psych tests are 200-level and can be used in a liberal studies or social science area of study. It makes much more sense to let the 100-level history courses end up as gen ed or free electives. If you didn't complete business communication at a CC, that's another three upper level credits that can be used in the liberal studies degree.
