Go to getcollegecredit.com to learn more about the DSST Management Information Systems exam.
Unfortunately, you can't combine the BA in Nat Sci/Math and a BSBA because one is a BA and the other is a BS.

Thank You. So I would be SOL if I ever want to go back and earn my BSBA after I graduate with my BA Natural Sciences and Mathematics?

To receive aid at TESC you have to take atleast 6 college credits a semester. Your tests will not be covered under aid. You can take any left over aid and pay for your tests. To get a second BA at TESC you need 30 new credits in the area of study. Wait maybe they changed that to 24 new credits in your area of study. So when you are making your plans make sure you take that into consideration.
Test what you know. Subject areas you have knowledge in already or subjects that are in the same vein as other test/courses you have already taken. Business has tons of overlap. Psy has lots of overlap. Lit has overlap. So if you plan your tests to compliment each other you will get that much more done quicker. Less study time in between. Good luck on your BA adventure and start testing.

I'm honestly nervous and praying that I get some kind of financial aid. I'm not sure I can afford to graduate this year if I am paying it all off on my own.

If so, are they a set in stone 12-16 week class or a study as you go sort of thing? I guess I will just stop with my nonsense of wanting to double major, as I am making things a little more hectic for myself. I'm going to focus on graduating with my Bachelors, period. If I'm right, it looks like almost everything for the BA Natural Sciences and Mathematics will be able to be clepped out of.

Guided Study courses should count toward the 6 credit requirement. According to the website, financial aid cannot be used for TECEPs, e-pack courses, and PLAs, but it can be used for online and guided study courses. The Guided Study courses are not a study as you go type, they are 12 week courses similar to online courses but without the online discussion assignments. Both guided study and online courses have assignments that are due at regular intervals during the 12 weeks. The only courses that are study-as-you-go are the e-pack courses. The e-pack courses have no assignments, just quizzes to prepare for a comprehensive exam. It is like preparing for and taking a TECEP or CLEP but costs as much as a regular course (online or guided study). Hope this helps.

It looks like I'm going to need about 58 credits to fulfill my Bachelors. Do you think I would be able to take 29 credits for two semesters and graduate? Basically, if I go the financial aid route, is it still possible for me to graduate December 2011?
