Books are $400+ per semester, so I believe we could do alternative credit cheaper. However, the line "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" certainly applies. I believe that attending classes is good for her and with the California Board of Governors fee waiver (no $46 per unit), we are happy that she is doing well and will just keep her there. She is actually afraid to transfer to a 4-year school, even if she can live at home. (She has an anxiety disorder and the CC is small - about 4000 students - by California standards).
She has also taken Math C (4 units) which is intermediate algebra. Will this transfer to TESU? If her keyboarding and document formatting (3), applied accounting (4), and her intermediate algebra (4) will all transfer to TESU, we might look at having her do one of the BALS in either Healthcare Management or Human Resources. That is 11 units which I did not think would transfer. They will be on her transcript, but have a course number above 50 or a letter © which do not transfer to 4-year schools in California.
In the LS 30 units, 18 have to be in one concentration. Do the other 12units of the 30 have to be other liberal studies courses from outside the concentration area?
Her career goal is actually to work an office in a rest home. She is very specific that that is what she wants to do. Her "real" career goal is to write children's books, but she knows that she must get an education for a day job. The English major today is very different than the one I did back in the 1980s. There are whole areas of literary criticism which did not exist when I earned my BA in English. I do not think the focus on criticism (which is politically motivated) is going to help her with what her writing goals are.
Her intention is to study writing - in ways that will work for her - after she has a BA and is working in an office job.
