How long does TESU BALS take to finish from scratch?

[cookderosa]

While I didn't do BALS, I did Social Science, it's essentially the same thing. I did mine in 18 months. The first 6 months were only testing - I accumulated my AA (except math and science) as well as my electives and started classes at TESU with the intent of taking 4 terms. I took 6 credits per term and then bumped it up to 9 and then enrolled at my local CC to be sure I hit my target. One term I had 21 credits (not suggested) but I kept testing in there too- in all, 18 months from first credit to last. Had I opted not to take classes for my major, I might have been able to go faster, but I wanted to "experience college classes" lol but it did help for grad school. Anyway, at the time, other members here were FLYING past me like I was standing still. I don't read as much here about speed as I used to, but I think you could easily plan for under 2 years from zero as a reasonable goal. 1 1/2 is for sure attainable, once you start getting into the 12 month goal range you really have to be super-organized and watch deadlines, etc.
