Please review my degree plan

You can do CLEP exams if you want - a good test-taker can knock out a LOT of credit for free this way, if you use ModernStates. I personally would do that in a heartbeat, as I like testing for some of the stuff (not for everything). Also, Sophia now takes longer than it used to - they've added a lot of papers that will slow things down for many courses. So it's not as great of a deal as it used to be (IMHO). That being said, if you would rather do Sophia, go for it.

As for the crazy 16cr term at TESU, I would certainly not do the courses you're chosen unless for some reason you are VERY advanced in math and those courses will be easy. The Wiki has a great breakdown of what to do instead.

A couple of issues I see (I'm assuming you're in the newest catalog, so you need 15cr in Human Cultures rather than 12cr; and you need 2 add'l SocSci electives in the AoS):

1) Take the College Math CLEP instead of College Algebra - it's worth 6cr instead of 3cr, and it's easier.
2) [sdc] psychology of learning and motivation PSY-251 is not ACE-recommended for credit, remove that
3) you need 6cr of Social Psychology, so for the first part, use PSY 104: Social Psychology (SDC) and then use PSY 316: Advanced Social Psychology (it's LL but doesn't duplicate the other LL Social Psych course, and will make it easier to pass the UL UExcel Soc Psych exam)
4) FAC 126 - Nutrition in Health and Fitness (ONU) is a Free Elective
5) GEO 121 Physical Geography (ONU) can get moved to science
6) Do Microeconomics as a CLEP (you're already doing so much there, why would you switch to OD at that point??)

I show the following:

CLEP (45cr)
College Composition w/Essay
College Math
Introductory Sociology
American Government
Principles of Macroeconomics
Principles of Microeconomics
History of the United States I
Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
Human Growth and Development
Introduction to Educational Psychology
Principles of Management
Principles of Marketing

Sophia (14cr)
Developing Effective Teams
The Essentials of Managing Conflict
Ancient Greek Philosophers
Intro to Ethics
Introduction to Statistics
Intro to IT

Study.com (24cr)
COM120: Presentation Skills in the Workplace
PSY 105: Research Methods in Psychology
PSY 104: Social Psychology
PSY 316: Advanced Social Psychology
PSY 312: History & Systems of Psychology
SOCSCI 108: Ethics in the Social Sciences
PSY 310: Psychology of Personality
PSY 302: Cognitive Psychology

ONU (9cr)
BIO 201 - General Biological Science
GEO 121 Physical Geography
FAC 126 - Nutrition in Health and Fitness

Coopersmith (6cr)
Physiological Psychology
Abnormal Psychology

UExcel Exam (3cr)
PSYx325: Social Psychology

TESU (19cr)
Technical Writing (TECEP)
- TERM
Critical Information Literacy (course)
Liberal Arts Capstone course (course)
Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics (course)
PLA-100 (course)
Introductory of Psychology (e-Pack)
Computer Concepts and Applications (e-Pack)

This covers all of your UL, all of your RA, a 16cr term at TESU, and gets you the degree at a pretty low price.

The only other thing you might consider was doing PSY-379: Social Psychology through TESU during that term, and getting rid of the UExcel exam entirely; and then do Applied Liberal Arts Math as a TECEP. Price is similar, but this might be an easier option than studying for the UExcel.
