You're welcome!
I suppose I should have included a key with the EC plan. I grabbed the requirements from the Catalog, then plugged in exams you'd mentioned along with suggestions for some of the general requirements. You may need a Research Writing course. I'm still not clear on what does and does not count for that (because it's theoretically not applicable to me due to my program admission year.)
The stuff in brackets [like this] are requirements, but I didn't make suggestions because, while I may be wild about a genre, Ruddigore may absolutely hate it. Same deal for authors. (I can offer suggestions if you like, but I don't want to rob you guys of the fun of finding interesting courses. The
DSST Course Database is a great resource for finding them. They have a section on Semantics, fer Pete's sake!)
The Electives under Requirement III of the Major are the categories of courses to choose from. (There's some risk in taking courses without consulting an advisor from whichever school you choose, though.)
The Penn Foster courses are less expensive than the comparable Excelsior courses and meet EC requirements, per other student reports.
I know others have had good luck with them, but I would avoid Louisiana State University (LSU) for English courses. They seem to use a dartboard for grading and won't give feedback - even if you specifically request it. The head of the distance learning group told me that it is unreasonable to expect any feedback on written work. I've had great experiences so far with both BYU and University of Nebraska Lincoln. Go figure.
