Yet Another Plan for BA Natural Science and Mathematics Degree- Need help

[dfrecore]

So in looking at this, I see the following issues:

1) UExcel's Basic Genetics is a LL course
2) You've already taken Basic Anatomy & Physiology, so taking it again through SL or your CC will just duplicate
3) You've already taken Chemistry, so taking it again through SL or your CC will just duplicate
4) SL does not have Chem II, so you'd have to take that through your CC
5) Network Tech TECEP probably isn't a Natural Science course, so it would be a free elective; there are probably easier courses/TECEP's you can take
6) Literature-Based Research probably will not count as English II, but it MAY meet your Info Lit requirement
7) PoliSci will not meet your Civic Engagement requirement; you have to take American Government, either as a CLEP or through SL

So I show that you need 2 add'l UL courses; not sure if the Fundamentals of Cybersecurity DSST counts as NatSci or not, but if it does, that would be good. CSU-Global has Cloud Computing & Big Data and Info Systems Analysis & Design that might work as NatSci, both UL. The only other UL courses I can find that would fit into this program are the edX Differential Equations courses - you would have to take SL's Calc I (and maybe even Calc II, I'm not sure) to be able to pass them. The first course starts Feb 4, and you have to take it when it starts, so it's not self-paced but an actual online course.

You also didn't say whether you were going to do the Per-Credit Tuition Plan, in which case you need 8 TECEP's.

If I were you, I would do the following:
English Comp II TECEP
Technical Writing TECEP
Environmental Ethics TECEP
Liberal Arts Math TECEP
Science of Nutrition TECEP
Computer Concepts & Applicatons TECEP
Capstone TESU
1 additional TECEP (anything will work)

American Government SL or CLEP

Pathophysiology UExcel
Basic Genetics UExcel
Microbiology + Lab SL
MIS DSST
Anatomy & Physiology II SL

Any 2 UL CIS courses

If instead of CIS courses, you want to take the 2 Environmental Science courses through TESU, then you don't need the add'l TECEP, and you can even get rid of 1 of them (you need 24cr/8 courses total). I also think at this point that even if your employer would reimburse you for the courses, that they would not pay for the Enrollment Fee, so it would not pay to switch to the Enrolled Options Plan. You would still have to pay for the Enrollment fee of $3300, and then the employer would reap the benefits of the lower cost of the courses. In this case, it just doesn't make sense to do it. You're better off paying for your Capstone and your TECEP's and going through the Per-Credit plan.

Hope that helps.
