Burb, so just go ahead and start testing on pre-reqs then later determine which degree wanted and when getting close, is that when you enroll at one of the Big 3 thats fits the bill to be evauluated?

I originally enrolled with a concentration in psychology and began testing through all of the general ed requirements. I would search online from time to time to see which masters would interest me.
A few months ago, I found the perfect program for me. Once I knew which masters degree I wanted, I looked closer at the program and realized that there were quite a few business pre-requisites that I had to meet before being accepted. Luckily, I hadn't started my psych tests at that time, so I changed my major to business. This way the time and effort I spend on my MBA pre-reqs also help me fulfill my undergraduate goals. I also checked with the masters program to make sure that CLEP and or DSST won't be an issue just in case.
So... I would suggest starting. Just get going. Begin with your general requirements and while you're doing this, take breaks from studying to search the web for a program that suits your interests, helps your career goals, and meets your financial requirements. Then, if you need to switch your testing plans mid-stream, at least you'll have the general ed stuff out of the way.
