TESU BA Sociology Guidance
#1
Hey guys.. I've spent most of the day researching to try to get the most out of what I have, and this is what I've concluded.  Can anyone think of alternatives/easier routes/courses I haven't found?  Would love guidance!  Specifically in areas where there's blanks or where I have more than one option, like ENC-102.  Thanks so so so much.

Key: Questions in Green, Proposed Courses in Purple.  Taken courses in light blue.
 
Also, I tried to add all of the courses I took and the TESU course equivalences to help out anyone in the future.

Also, I ran out of space, but I switched to a BA Sociology from BSBA Marketing as only 42 of my credits transferred. The degree is just for the resume -- I'm stuck in a stagnant place in tech/success/sales because I don't have a bachelors.
