Help with testing out of Liberal Studies concentrations at TESU

[Jenna.C]

For a concentration though, you don’t need 15 UL in the concentration itself - just in the whole AOS for the BALS. Each concentration requires at least half of your credits to be UL, which means 9 credits or 3 classes worth. So for instance, my AOS looks like this -
Humanities Concentration - 9 UL and 9 LL credits
Liberal Studies General Coursework - 6 UL and 6 LL credits

I thought you had to have 15 Upper Level courses in the concentration itself?

The way they do things is confusing, but no, you don't have to have 15 UL credits in the concentration.  This is from the TESU website - "A concentration includes a minimum of 12 semester hours and a maximum of 21 semester hours of specialized course work with no less than 50% of the concentration credits upper level credits."

When you have the concentration added to your evaluation, it will arrange the courses so that it appears that you need 15 UL and 3 LL in the concentration.  (And then 12 LL in the general AOS coursework)  However, nothing on the website or the evaluation itself says that the 15UL concentration credits are mandatory.  I had to email an academic advisor and have them move the courses into the correct places because very few of my AOS were slotted properly.  Once I did that, it just states that your remainder UL requirements will be met in your general AOS coursework.  No one ever pushed back or told me I couldn't do that.  I can try to take a screen shot if you want to see what it looks like and the verbiage used.  My evaluation is still not 100% correct, but it will show the general idea.

Thank-you! Your explanation is very helpful! 
And if you wouldn't mind and if you can, that would be much appreciated!
