Does anyone have any experience with Penn Foster as a school and enrolled in a program as opposed to just taking a few courses? How are they at granting credit for CLEP/DSST and other ACE approved courses?

I am in their AS in Accounting program. If the DSST or Clep matches one of their course they will accept it. I have had no problem with them accepting the test.

Just remember they are nationally accredited (DETC) if that is important to you.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
