Hi Y'all! I recently decided to get a degree and have been researching different options and courses. I've started a degree plan but now I'm feeling quite overwhelmed with all the options and information! I feel like I'm stuck and could use some help and direction. Would you mind looking over it and giving me some suggestions? Especially if I've categorized something wrong or if you know a better/cheaper course to take. Anything would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I'm confused on whether or not I should apply to the school now and wait to enroll or if I wait on both until I'm closer to being ready to start their classes?
A little background info that may or may not help -
*I eventually want to work in the non-profit classical music world, preferably for a Symphony in some capacity. Thus why I landed on the BA in Humanities - potentially with a concentration in Fine Arts. I can't seem to find any specific information on the concentrations though so I don't know if I'm headed in the right direction with my plan or not.
*I have 9-12 credits from CLEP tests I took 10 years ago. (Anal.&Inter. Lit, US History 1, US History 2)
*I would love to finish the degree in 1 1/2 years, but definitely within 2. I would like to test out of as much as possible, but I'm also willing to take a semester or so of courses with the college. (Especially since it doesn't seem like there are many Fine Arts options available to take online.) I'm more focused on finishing within my time frame than the cost though I certainly prefer it to be as cost-effective as possible. I'm hoping to devote 20-30 hours a week to working on the degree.
Thank you so much!
