Currently I'm working on the personal finance class thru study.com got the guardian scholarship also had previously started studying for US History 1 clep. I'm wanting to get some sort of business degree but not sure where to go from here. Also wondering if my credits are going to be any good that I obtained almost 20 years ago when I first started college major back then was accounting. Hoping to have some sort of degree before my oldest hits college in 4 years yikes. Possibly looking to get her to start doing cleps as well as she's a smart kid and has a couple honors classes next year in high school. Took a clep I believe 3 years ago and passed unfortunately didn't continue so have credit for the marketing clep.
Yes, some of the info is outdated. BUT, if you read a lot on this forum, you will start to understand how the different programs work, and so it's not a waste of your time. I suggest you start with the Beginner's Guide, as it's very helpful in understanding the Big 3, and how online courses/exams work (and what all of the options are).
Then, once you get a handle on that, continue coming to this forum to read, read, and read some more. You will start to learn from it, especially the most current info.
To answer your question, yes, your old college credit will still work for you. You may be limited in how many credits can work in your Core/Area of Study (TESU limits you to 10cr for anything over 10 years old, for instance). But there will be plenty of non-core credits that you can use towards things like Gen Ed and Free Electives.
If you post your credits on here, we can help with degree plans for the 3 schools. I have a good one for TESU, and others can help to let you know if COSC or EC might be a better fit.
