How long does TESU BALS take to finish from scratch?

BTW, you can take your Anat & Phys I+II at Straighterline or as you mentioned at Cayuga. Just make sure you have enough residency credits at Cayuga and you can transfer the max credits from ACE sources. Call or Email Cayuga and see if you can take only the sciences from them and transfer in the rest from ACE sources such as CLEP (Modern States provides vouchers), Saylor, and Shmoop.

There are three things you want to do in order to get your BALS and BA Biology cheaper, overlap the credits.
1) Basically, at most, you can use up to a maximum of 90 credits from the BALS and move it to BA Biology.

2) Take the majority of your classes from Saylor $25/course, Shmoop $88/month of unlimited classes, you can get many credits with Shmoop for just $88/month and CLEP (Modern States is FREE, use their AP resources as well if it's got the same AP/CLEP classes). You can also use Saylor/Shmoop to prepare for CLEP exams as well.

3) Since you're taking online classes at Cayuga Community College, complete their Associates in Math & Science, Biology Concentration - https://www.cayuga-cc.edu/academics/scho...h-science/

See Concentrations page for requirements: You must take 50% of the credits at Cayuga, so take all the sciences there and transfer in your ACE/CLEP credits - https://www.cayuga-cc.edu/academics/scho...ntrations/

The courses you should take at Cayuga are as follows as it's required for the BA Biology; Bio I & Bio II, Chem I & Chem II, Physics I & Physics II, Organic Chem I & II, and Cell Biology. Genetics course can be taken at Cayuga to round out the 10 required courses. The rest (10 courses for the AS), complete them from CLEP, Saylor, Shmoop. You should not take Microbiology at Cayuga, it'll come in as Lower Level, take it at StraighterLine for Upper Level.

Create a spreadsheet or use the BALS one I have with Shmoop and modify it, place all your CLEP, Cayuga, Saylor and Shmoop courses into it. Once you're done, PM me and update your accountability thread to have others critic the degree plan for your BALS Shmoop - you can use that time to finish an AS Bio at Cayuga with no extra effort.
