Any spreadsheets for Associate's degrees?

[xjarhead1999]

I've just been able to skim over the Pierpoint stuff. I'll need to see what's required and compare to what I have, but sounds decent.
Since I have so long to earn my degree with Ashford, I may see if I can get the BALS while I wait.

FYI:
I sent my transcripts to Pierpont for the BOG 12/3 and 12/9/2017.
I just checked today and they are finally done with my evaluation. (I had checked about a week ago).
So, 3 months and some days to complete evaluation.
The next graduation application deadline is June 1st. I will apply for this one, but it is less than 3 months away from today. So if you start the process now you may or may not get evaluated in time.
The next graduation application deadline is Sept 1st and that is for a December graduation.
I just want you to be forewarned.

First - an FYI: when you post your coursework, you should only post what you took at each school, and the number of credits.  What another school will give you for it is not relevant.  Just so you know, and don't get your hopes up about what school C will give school A's courses based on what school B gave them.  School C will not look at School B's evaluations of School A's courses.  They do their own independent eval.

Having said that, I did spreadsheets for Pierpont, TESU, and Charter Oak.  I show that if the courses come in as you hope (and there's no guarantee that will happen), here's what you need to complete:

Pierpont - 3cr (1 course) in SocSci, could be had for free through ModernStates/CLEP, or Saylor for $25 or others for $100 - no fees for the school itself.

COSC - 19cr (6+ courses) in Speech, US Gov't, Religion, College Algebra or Stats if they don't take the Sophia course, a science course with lab, and the cornerstone. ~ $2400

TESU - 15cr (5 courses) in math, Sociology, Amer Gov't, and 2 socsci/hum courses. ~$2700

I would shoot for Pierpont, but maybe have another school as your backup plan.

TESU requires that you apply for graduation on 4/1, which is going to be hard to do at this point, although it can certainly be done.  You'd have to apply to the school now, send in all of your transcripts, and then apply by 4/1 for graduation.  In between applying to the school and applying for graduation, you'd have to take the 5 courses necessary (or at least plan on getting them all completed before 5/15-ish).  If you went with Study.com or SL, you could actually have them send the transcripts for free as you completed each course, so possibly bythe time your 25 business days for the eval was completed, you'd have most of your degree completed.

COSC - it looks like the deadline has passed to apply for graduation this year, but I'm not certain on how that works.  You'd also have to register for the cornerstone course and take that.  In the meantime, you could take all of the remaining courses from Study.com if you wanted to (they even have a Bio lab course now).

The other thing you could look at is Patten.  I can't find the info on graduation, but they are ~$1300 per term.  If you could take a bunch of courses while waiting for the eval, and then enroll and finish up a few classes there, you could go through them.  But again, no clue on how they'll evaluate your courses, or when you could graduate.

Hey, thanks for that! Think I'll do Pierpoint since I'm closest to it. I understand it may take awhile, but I can try.
I need to figure out how you guys know what transfers as what and where you find specific requirements. All I can find is general education requirements and then a number for the majorI'd like to figure out where I stand on some of the TESU degrees.

I've been on here since 2011 and keeping a list for at least 4 years, it's 1000 lines long and grows every few months.

Is that list available anywhere on the site and I just haven't seen it? Of the requirements I mean.
One more stupid question, if you don't mind, what is the schedule at TESU on graduation dates?

I know it says that you need to submit transcripts by the application date, but you can keep sending in transfer credits until a couple of weeks before graduation if needed.

Looking at the spreadsheet (and I could have missed something), doesn't he also need 2 credits in math/science?

The science class at Ashford is 4 credits, not 2. Little typo was all

Cool....just wanted to make sure :-)
