Excelsior Communications Degree - Please critique
#1
My daughter has been working diligently towards a Communications degree from TESC. With possible changes ahead for TESC students I thought it would be wise to map out an Excelsior plan. Can anyone give me a critique or any suggestions for what courses to take next? Do I have everything in the right spot? Is my math really bad or does this add up to more than 130?
Any help is appreciated.
