Lib Arts Health + Wellness Concentration

[sanantone]

If the school offers 4-year degrees, and Clark College does, then there's a possibility that an equivalent LL course can be transferred in as an UL course. I made up for a 2-credit UL course in one of my degrees. I'm not the "you can't do this or that" type without at least searching for alternatives and asking how a course will transfer in. While everyone was saying you couldn't get an AS with the biology concentration at TESU, I did it. People give up too easily.

Possibility? Yes. Likelihood? Absolutely not. 9 times out of 10 a course sent to TESU will transfer in at the level it is at the school. Biology ASNSM is different. Nobody says that you cannot do Biology at all. It's simply too expensive for most people (compared to the other degrees) - even then, it's not that much more expensive. It's totally possible and, in fact, easy to get a Biology degree from TESU due to the lack of strict requirements. It only has 1 class that is absolutely required. Health & Wellness has much stricter requirements and (assuming it's even possible) it'll be incredibly expensive compared to practically any other BALS AOS.

If the BALS were "15 credits in fitness, health, or nutrition" then that'd be a totally different matter. Or if k-k-katy's friend said he didn't care how much the degree costs, he wants THIS one then it might be doable. But neither of those things apply here so I would strongly advise the friend to do something else.

Speaking of the Biology ASNSM, perhaps the friend would like that instead of the health & wellness AOS: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...M,_Biology There are no capstones for the degree. This would make it "free" to get with a Bachelor's degree aside from the cost of the courses themselves. Biology II would be the most expensive but even that is only $89 per credit at NMJC: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sources_of_Credit "NU102 - Nutrition & Health-Body Sculpting with Diet & Exercise" from OnlineDegree ($9 - must be in US) could be used for one of the free electives somewhere.

Biology ASNSM + BALS with some other concentration could be a good solution.

I finished the biology degree years ago when there were fewer options. It wasn't expensive; it was definitely cheaper than completing the entire thing at a community college. Before this Liberal Studies concentration existed, I looked at the health studies program at COSC. The big hurdle with that program was that it required a certification in a healthcare occupation.
