Hi,
I know that there HAS to be a thread on this question, but I searched several times and couldn't manage to find it...
After seeing my success with testing over the past few months, my husband has decided to return to finish his bachelor's. (YAY!!) With his career, the type of degree really doesn't matter, they just want you to have the piece of paper. So, he really wants to choose a degree based on two factors:
1) What interests him the most
2) A degree can be obtained with testing only or very minimal classroom work
Is there a list somewhere of all of the degrees that can be obtained at the big 3 using almost only testing? The only ones that I can think of off the top of my head would be Liberal Arts, Psychology, and business administration. If you know of any others or have a list or a link to a list, that would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Business vis testing alone would only be possible from TESC since he would have to take a capstone course if enrolled with either Excelsior or Charter Oak. Same goes for Liberal Arts.
Someone correct me if I am mistaken, but it's no longer possible to fully test out of any of the Big Three's psychology degrees.

Mostly (as in all but 1 or 2 classes) testing is very possible. How that fits with what interests him (sometimes it's worth taking an online class or two to study what you like) depends on him. What does he enjoy?

Thanks for the replies so far! He doesn't mind having to take a few classes, but prefers self-study for the majority of topics if possible. I actually didn't know that there were any degrees left that didn't involve at least one class, though if TESC offers a business possible through test only, I would be interested to know.
My husband is a very intelligent man with a broad scope of interest. He likes to read about almost anything but hates math. He wants to take a week or two researching the big 3 and with input from people here figure out which "mostly test" degree is most appealing.
Lol.. if they had a video game degree, he would have his PhD by now. :-)

No business degree then. Unless he tries math by self-study and says "[SIZE="3"]
wow![/SIZE]" like I did.

So it sounds like taking a capstone course from EC wouldn't bother him too much?
Don't forget ALEKS, FEMA, NFA, and Straighterline as good alternatives to testing! NFA in particular being free and ACE reviewed is something everybody dealing with the big three should take advantage of.
Good luck! And good luck to your husband
having a broad scope of interests is surely one of his greatest strengths!

I could have completely tested out of mine, but I took the one TESC course for a GPA.
