I'm done too!!
#1
I just received my letter from TESC certifying my graduation for a BA Liberal Studies this September. It took me roughly a year to complete using transfer credits from my Airline Transport Pilot License (ATP) and previous B&M schools. I initially enrolled in the BS Aviation which gave me a lot more transfer credits but in the end discovered it was cheaper and simpler to switch degree programs. I lost 20 credits by switching but made them up using Straighterline. Thanks to bricabrac for helping with my new degree plan in this thread http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...libst.html

Here's the breakdown of how I did it, hopefully this will help someone else plan their degree.

Total cost above was $3447, plus $300 graduation fee, plus $300 foreign academic evaluation (ACCRAO), approx. $400 in textbooks, $175 ProctorU premium scheduling. Grand total $4622
Total time was about one year give or take a month.

Good luck to everyone else working on their degree!

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
