Thanks to IC and the people that posted on the forums, I am now done with my BSLS from EC.
I went from 86 credits to graduation in SIX weeks of full time study! I averaged a 3.2 on all work done here which I feel good about this due to the short study time between each course.
Here is my list:
EXCELSIOR TESTS
-----------------------
INFORMATION LITERACY
PSYCHOLOGY OF ADULTHOOD& AGING
FOUNDATIONS OFGERONTOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
WORLD POPULATION
DSST
----------------------
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE
MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH
ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANITY:THE RACE TO SAVE THE PLANET
Thanks to all that made this possible.
Malcolm

Congrats on a job well done! That is a very impressive work ethic! Are you finished or are you bitten by the bug and going on to graduate school? I started out just wanting to finish my AS degree now I'm working my way towards my BSHS with EC as we speak with another 3 credits down today. I have 45 credits to go, but I will be happy if I finish by Sept. I'm too old to keep up your pace! But now at 45 I'm actually thinking about graduate school. This is addictive! Good luck and I'm sure you will accomplish any goal you set your mind given your recent success! Keep us updated!

Marianne,
Thanks!
I am a few years older than you. I had to revitalize my brain to make it happen, haha, and missed my daily workouts for a few months in order to do this. I've got a 50 mile bike ride tomorrow and will be feeling this lack of activity.
I am in the application/prereq-negotiation process with Jacksonville State for an MBA. One of the other members here turned me on to it. I will probably CLEP marketing and Bus Law next week if I can get the study materials together over the weekend. I heard that they are easy.
Your 45 credits will be done in a flash, and you will have the school equiv. of empty nest syndrome. You will be walking around trying to figure what to do the time you spent learning, and naturally flow into a grad degree.
Best of Luck!
