Anyway to finish 2 math classes over the summer for college? My last 2 classes.

I never thought I would finish but I have 2 classes left before I can transfer over to USF. Only problem is they are two math classes and the college does not offer Summer A or Summer B..
I planned on taking Liberal Arts Math 1 and 2 but now it looks like I might have to take College algebra and Liberal math at the same time :x..
I think it would be silly and a huge waste of time to end up taking 1 class in the fall for 4 months before I can transfer. It is just a huge waste of time and resources to sit around for one class..
Any ideas on what I can do about this?

Can anyone tell me what Liberal Arts math is like? One counselor told me it was easy and full of group work while the other told me it was really hard.
I don't think taking two at once would be a good idea in this case.
That said, if you're still game check with a school counselor about what courses are available over the summer that would fit your transfer needs. They'll know what your options are better than we can. And, if you're serious about sacrificing your summer in study, ask if your college has split summer sessions. The Junior College I attended had split sessions, one started at the beginning of summer, the other halfway through summer session, to accommodate teacher's needs.
No choice. I can't take one class in the summer and one class in fall. That is about 8 months for 2 classes.
The last college I went to had Summer A and B but this one does not. I thought about being a transient student to the other college in town but they do not offer Summer A and B. They just don't do that here. It sucks.
The only other thing I can do is take other math classes at once besides Liberal Arts.. I could take college algebra or geometry.
Also I have taken summer classes before and the ones I have taken toss course work out to make it fit into 6, 8 and 12 week periods. Guess I was lucky.
Thanks..
If anyone has any more info about what this class is as the course description does not do it any justice.
EDIT: Liberal Math (Math for Social Sciences as it was known for us) is basically that. A math class where the teacher understands that the students aren't really going to be using math much in their careers so it's just basic algebra and pre calculus stuff. It was probably my most "highschool" out of my college classes. It's also one of the few classes where we had daily homework, and had to turn it in.
It's not going to be a cakewalk though if you're bad at math (like I am), so don't assume that. If you couldn't grasp the concepts in HS, you're going to be having the same problems now, so you're going to be studying, showing up to class and doing the work. Only mention this because I saw smart people fail out of my class since they assumed it was so easy.
That's what I did before I graduated.
This is very common practice with people who worry the grade they might get in a class will wreck their GPA, and it's easy to do.
no cc in 100 miles have summer a and b.
not only do I have to pass the class in one class I must get a B
So if you have no choice, what are you asking?
Take the classes over the summer, and work your ass off. Go to every class. Ask for help. Get your TA's email address, phone number, IM handle, whatever. Find out where your schools Math Tutoring Center is, and use it.
Worst case scenario: you fail one (or both) of the classes, and retake them in the fall, as you would be doing if you didn't even try over the summer. You'll be in the same situation if you fail them or don't them now, so you may as well give it a shot.
To graduate in December, I took 3 full-session summer classes simultaneously (which is not recommended), and then commuted 90 minutes from Chicago to campus twice a week to take one 50-minute class, while taking 3 online courses and working part-time. It wasn't fun, or easy, but keep in mind the alternative is going to be sitting stagnant on one class for another 4 months and you should be able to find the motivation you need to get it done.
Not that you should slack either way, but that just doesn't sound right.
edit: And yeah, if the real answer to this is "work your ass off" then you should probably just do that. That's what I have to do this summer to graduate on time, and it's is going to blow and I'll have no life whatsoever, but it's 10 weeks of hell for the sake of graduating two semesters earlier.
Already did and logic does not count.. I am History/Philosophy too
State of Florida requires a 2.5 GPA in Math to receive an AA even if your degree is History. If you do not get an B in one of the classes then they make you go back into a bullshit prep class you pay for then pay to take the CLAST test to get your degree.
I am transferring to a university in the fall. People with AA's in Florida do not follow the same requirements to transfer as someone with out sure I could put in for transfer this summer with once class but there is a really good chance that I will not be getting in vs having an AA.
