Degree Plan Advice - Can I finish in a year? Without starving to death?

Actually, you *can* transfer it into the DA degree. (For the Stats.com certificate they'll transfer in up to 3 classes. For TESU, you can transfer in any intro stats, too, or even take the pricey TESU class instead of Stats.com.)

If I was going to get the DA degree, I would take the Statistics.com course, because it's considered (by them) to be Stats I & II. I would think it would be a more comprehensive course, and help with later courses. It doesn't do much good to take a foundational stats course that doesn't lay the foundation that you need later on.

So to clarify, my suggestion is to take a cheap stats course first, when you still haven't decided on which degree you're getting. THEN, if you decide on the DA degree, you should then take the Stats.com course to make sure your foundation for the degree is solid. Plus, it's already paid for if you choose their plan with TESU - all of the courses are covered, and factored into the cost, which is discounted from taking them all separately.

But obviously, the OP can do whatever they want to do. It's just my suggestion, and I'm certainly not an expert.
