BSLS, History/Psych Degree Plan and Transferring to B&M Grad School

[dfrecore]

I am actually from Sac, had lots of friends that went to Sac State, ARC, SCC, etc. And I'm sure I'm not the only person from California on here, we are an eighth of the entire US population! Keep taking those CC classes, I think we have almost the cheapest in the nation at $46/unit. It's more expensive to buy the book than take the class!

Your plan has a lot of problems that I can see, first is that you don't have the major broken down into the correct courses you need to take. You have to take 1 US History, 1 World History (Western Civ), 2 US History courses at the 200-level or above (Civil War & Reconstruction DSST will count as UL AND give a grade), 2 European History courses at 200-level or above, 2 Non-Western History courses at 200-level or above (History of Vietnam War DSST will give you a grade, not sure what level it transfers in as though), 2 history electives, and the History Capstone.

The Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union and General Anthropology are not available since 1/1/15, they're being revised. You would have to wait until they were put back before you could put them into your plan (plus probably see if EC was revising them in their catalog as well). Western Europe since 1945 is no longer available at all.

You need to figure out how to get those 200-level and UL history courses. CSU-Pueblo has a few ($495 each), U of Idaho IS has some ($325 each), BYU IS has some ($619 each).

If you want to get your degree in Psych, then you have to do a completely different plan. That will include very specific courses that you don't have on your plan. Uexcel has a few of the exams you need, but you will have to do some research to find other options if you want to find cheaper courses than online ones at EC for the rest. Torah College Credits has some ($175+), CSU Pueblo IS has some ($495), U of Idaho IS has some ($325 each), BYU IS has some ($619 each).

You probably need to decide exactly which degree you want to get, and then start on that specifically. Also, I don't think you need a BS, you don't have any Applied Professional courses that don't fit into the BA (like business courses), so you should switch to that instead. I wasn't sure if you were trying for both the History and Psych degrees at the same time, but I don't know EC's policy on that, nor is there a good way to do that - there would be a lot of extra courses required to get the 2nd degree. But if you are looking to do that, you'll need to get the info from someone on here who is knowledgable on that subject.

If you want an easier spreadsheet to look at, I have one I am happy to share. PM me and I'll send it to you.
