Degree Plan Help Please
#1
Your Location: Pennsylvania, United States
Your Age: 27
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts (Liberal Studies), General Studies, or Political Science
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 61 credits (Associate of Arts in English) from Bucks County Community College
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 43 credits (all from Sophia) though there are some credits that are the same courses from my CC. So it's really 37 credits, but I'll list all the classes that I've done so far:
  • Art History II
  • College Readiness
  • Environmental Science
  • Human Biology Lab
  • Introduction to Business
  • Introduction to Ethics
  • Introduction to Information Technology (repeat)
  • Introduction to Nutrition 
  • Lifespan Developent
  • Project Management
  • Spanish II (I took French I and Spanish I at CC for the 6 credit foreign language requirement whatever reason)
  • U.S Government
  • US History I 
  • US History II (likely repeat)
  • Visual Communications
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: No real budget if it means getting the degree done as fast as possible.
Commitments: Part-time job, possible move to full-time job, but nothing set in stone.
Dedicated time to study: A decent amount of time, I work only 3 days a week, every other day I have free time, but I'd rather not study as much as actually getting the work needed to get the courses completed. (28 hours a week, but ideally, only a fraction would go towards studying)
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal (copied from template). Maximum time, Spring 2026, but would like to get the degree finished by the end of 2025.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None.



I'm not sure whether I prefer test-out or competency based because it's been a while since I've taken a legit test without it being open book. I do get overwhelmed/stressed somewhat easily, so I'd rather do classes one or two at a time. My hope is to get to a university with 114 credits and take the final 2 classes there, or 90 credits that can be done in two sessions (in exchange for the longer time, the classes are ideally not as intensive).

Help figuring out what classes that need to be done via Sophia, Study.com, or other means to get to 114 credits or knocking out upper-level classes for the 90 credits plan would be appreciated. Smile
