New to this forum, had a few questions

Just wanted to welcome warmly. Like Jennifer says, this forum changes you. You can do it, and, maybe your homeschooled kids can do it, too! I homeschool 3, and basically I have them take courses for college credit this way and those double for their homeschool curriculum. My hope is that they will all have Bachelor's degrees at around age 18. Other homeschooled kids on here have done or are currently doing the same, some graduating with a Bachelor's degree as young as 15 year old. Good luck to all of you!

Thank you so much! I'll read up on the option of the AAS transferring into WGU, if I can test out of most everything then this really seems like it is within reach. So if I understand correctly, with WGU the idea is to have everything you need done, then Enroll and get them to evaluate? If they transfer everything in, then you just pay their 6mo tuition and wait to graduate?

Not exactly. After you do everything you can outside of WGU, you will still have a bunch of units that have to be done there, so the drill is to do everything you can, then enroll, and kill it for 6mo so that you get everything done in one term. If you can't then it will cost you a second term (or more). Your ability to do it in one term is something you have to evaluate. Certainly plenty of people here have. TESU will let you transfer everything except the capstone, so that the timeline is under your control. It really depends on how you want to do it.

Ah, I understand now. I can see the appeal with TESU over WGU from a timing perspective.

Thank you for the welcome, and further testimony of the success of this method of getting a degree. 

We are for sure going to evaluate it, if they could leave home with a HS diploma and a college degree I think they would be very well setup, especially without student loans for their undergrad work.
