Complete all General Ed at Penn Foster - Possible?

[rebel100]

The poster's question (merging both questions) was if they could do an associate's at penn foster for the purpose of knocking out the gen eds at TESU. Of course, no one knows or has looked to see if (a) they even have the same gen eds *unlikely* and (b) if every one of those is ACE evaluated *because PF is only NA and won't transfer otherwise. And then there is the question of why? The OP stated that because PF offered a payment plan. But, of course if you're using CLEP/SL/etc. you're already on a DIY "payment" plan.

I don't know if it's moot at this point, because the OP doesn't seem to have followed up to either thread.

Just looking quickly at the requirements of the two degrees (I looked at General Business) I would say they overlap quite nicely. Agreed it wouldn't be a block transfer and there are certainly cheaper ways to get credit...but I do see the allure of PF. I have one student right now who tried all the methods, she hates CBE but managed several CLEP/DSST, she liked SL, but when she found PF which we used after CSU-Pueblo and U of Idaho proved too expensive things just took off. She is using PF for the upper level work required of a BS in Org Leadership with a 2nd in human resources...lots of UL at PF that fits this mold. I do see how and why a student might make this choice. PF will also break the cost of a single class down and allow it to be paid in thirds over three months.

PF reports to have an articulation agreement with Charter Oak, but I can't find it.
