Humanties: Peterson's vs IC

[Criticalthinker]

Thanks all!

I'm wondering if I'm not so smart after all...I was reading through my distribution requriements last night for IU's General Studies program, and I find it hard to understand and no luck with getting an advisor on the phone or via email yet.

I now have 104 credits, with yesterday's Humanities pass. Giving me 18 credits in English.

Here 's what IU says: (This is not actually the IU program that I work with, but SB's website was the most clearly stated)

It sounds as though, I can get no more than 21 credits in a subject area, but can have up to 30 in a professional school.

This would mean that my plan to take American Lit and English Lit for another hopefully easy 12 is out.
I'm wondering if I could still take American Lit, but just 3 of the UL credits would apply, and the other 3 not count. It's the same price, and at least I would have the 3 UL. (I just need 4) That would bring my total to 21 in English.

Then instead of English Lit, I could take either American History (both) and American Governement for 9

Then my scheduled
Fundamentals of Counseling (3)
Here's to Your Health (3 UL)
and add
Drug/Alcohol Abuse (3 UL)

I'm a bit frustrated at the moment, because my old advisor said I just needed to finish my electives and it didn't matter what the courses were, at least that was what he seemed to be saying.

Ugh...

I'm feeling kind of down about this, because I know I can pass AL and EL easily now that I see what those types of questions were like on Humanities.

Need smarter people than me to decipher the web explanation.
Thanks,
