Thanks so much for the responses.
EDIT>>>>
/* Immediately after I posted this, I realized that I missed the post from COOKDEROSA that said -
"When I applied to graduate from TESC first with my AA then my BA, both times I had to sign something verifying that I swore I did not have a similar degree from any other college and if I did I would have my degree revoked.
So, the quick answer, you'd have to lie to get it - you'd have to deceive to keep it. A better answer is to simply savor the quickness and cheapness you enjoyed by testing out of your undergrad degree and check the box so you can move onto your MBA."
Anyway - would they have any way of knowing, or only based on honesty (which I consider very important)?
*/
However, this hasn't answered my core question (which I probably should have been more clear on in the first place).
How would EC know what I had a BSBA from TESC? If I simply sent a CLEP/DSST transcript to EC and fulfilled their requirements, what does that have to do with TESC?
Forgetting about cost - forgetting about logic - forgetting about why - How would EC know that this was for a second degree and not a first. I understand everything that is written if this was from the same college, but if this is from two different schools, how would they know?
In reality, I am working on getting a BSBA from TESC and may consider in the future getting a CJ degree from JohnJay in NYC. They allow 90 transfer credits. I'm not sure how many would actually work, but that's what got me thinking. I would be more likely to get an MBA instead, but the idea started my mind wondering about how the system works.
Thanks again!
Michael
BTW - Unrelated but interesting... or maybe not. I took the College comp with essay CLEP this week. They told me that it will take at least a month for me to receive my grade. That stinks. I've passed all of my other CLEP/DSST tests with ease, but I was always nervous until I had the score. I'll be nervous for a month.

There is a clearing house, but not sure if TESC/EC participate in it or not.
