BA in 4 Weeks
BA in 4 Weeks - FOURTH YEAR - BS Degree
Completing senior year College in 3 days and a bit.
We're on the final lap. You have earned 90 semester hours credit
to this point. Another 30 are required to meet degree requirements.
Let's get going.
Because of differences in distribution requirements for BA versus BS
degree, we will examine them individually. First we will go through
requirements for the BS degree.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE
Two depth areas are required for the BS Liberal Arts degree, which
you have already fulfilled and then some. You also require a total
of 30 semester hours at the upper level and currently have 27. 21
of the 30 upper division credits must be in the arts and sciences.
You currently have 18 upper division credits in the arts and
sciences, the rest being applied/professional, so one more course
needed there. Additionally, 60 of the 120 total credits required
for the bachelor's degree must be in the arts and sciences. You've
already met that requirement too!

Most of these exams are "fillers". You can substitute any
one with another subject more to you liking, but one exam
must be in the upper division in the Arts or Sciences.
Throughout this series we've gone for the easiest set of
examinations available rather than the least expensive.
I've tried to steer clear of mathematics and the sciences
as much as possible because most people prefer it that way.
If you feel more comfortable with math or physics, chemistry,
or maybe a foreign language, now is the time to make those
substitutions. Others may want to consider accounting,
economics, and production management.
Well, that's it. Congratulations, you've just earned an
accredited Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Arts.
Not too shabby. Now What?
Next time we'll look at a practical example of the use of
GRE exams to earn a bachelor of Science degree with a
concentration in Psychology and then back for the
Bachelor of Arts version of this degree.

this group back on stream again. I have asked to be included with the
producers of the official FAQ and have been accepted.
This where the real answers will be. This where the truth will be. This is
where there will be no bias. This is where people will get a fair go.
This is NOT the home of the RA junkies. This is not the place for the Gang
or their supporters unless they recant.
This is the true home of the DE Fellowship
I have been in DE since 1960 and have forgotten more than most of the
wankers and groupies on degreeinfo will ever learn.
Leave the crackpot arena of degreeinfo to the crackpots. Find the freedom
that is yours.
