Nice site!
You seem to go to courses (SL, PF, BYU, Saylor...) first, and CLEP/DSST tests are optional. Any particular reason for that? I would personally just use courses where I couldn't use tests.

Daithi
Did you see my threads on how to make the cheapest possible plans without using FEMA? The total costs come out to be lower than what you have now.
Edit: Never mind. I see you have two different plans: with CLEP/DSST and without CLEP/DSST. That should answer Westerner's question. Daithi allows a selection to include CLEP/DSST because international students often have trouble taking these. However, the BSBA can still be made cheaper without even using Straighterline courses.
Here are my threads for liberal studies and the BSBA.

Daithi,
I'm very impressed with your site, it's very clean and simplistic, yet very informative. Good luck with it.
As far as starting a 501 3 c, I was able to successfully go through the process for my sober house Jeffrey's House in Fitchburg, Ma, however it's very time consuming and tedious. While it took me over a year to become tax exempt with the IRS, the state part should take only a few days at most.

I wasn't sure on whether to put the degree plans using CLEP/DSST first or the ones using online courses first. The CLEP/DSST are less expensive. The online courses are available to international students. I ended up putting the online courses first, even though those degrees were a little more expensive, because I'm guessing they're are billions of people in the world and only millions in the U.S.
I also wanted to thank all of the people who have had such kind words.

Great site, some small typos that need changing but some good information included that I didn't know about TESC requirements that have changed over the years.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

Daithi I noticed a few things on you site:
In the natural science plan, you have the Tecep for nutrition and Straighterline for nutrition, I think they duplicate? both Bio208.
Also Psychology of Women PSY-270 under Personal and Social Responsibility, I'm not sure that psych fits here.
