History BA versus Liberal Studies BA

[MaieJaie]

Does anyone have an opinion on or experience with the difference between a history BA and a liberal studies BA in the job market? I'm a history major but am considering switching so that I can eliminate the 2 remaining UL history courses I need, and for which there are no test-out options.

Why can't you test out of your history requirements? The only requirement for the History major at EC that doesn't seem to have a test-out option is the historiography requirement. For everything else, there are a lot of test options available for history. In addition to Dantes exams, there are also:

Excelsior:
World Conflicts since 1900 (3 semester credits)
American Dream (6 semester credits, can count as either history or literature)

Ohio University:
Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (4 quarter hours, or 2.67 semester credits)
Ancient Greece (4 quarter hours, or 2.67 semester credits)
Ancient Rome (4 quarter hours, or 2.67 semester credits)

Good luck, whatever you decide.
