Planning my swtich to one of the big three

[dfrecore]

Here's a degree plan for TESU BA in Psych.

Also needed for both degrees: English Comp II (DSST is now available, all MC), Public Speaking, an Info Lit course, and Ethics.

I love your story I think it's fun to hear how people stumble onto CLEP and run with it. I worked for a college for almost 10 years that accepted CLEP and was a testing center, I had no idea!

anyway...

When I visit Granite State College's website, they say you can transfer up to 90 credits. https://www.granite.edu/why-gsc/transfer-credits/ 22 dual enrollment plus 13 CLEPs is roughly 60ish, and I'm wondering if you'd stay with Granite State if you could hit those remaining 30? I don't know if this would work, but Granite State is a partner school with Straighterline Granite State College Course Equivalency Guide | StraighterLine which means you can pull that list and see if any of those would work. You could do 4 SL classes easily in 1 month (about $300 in total) Before you do that, you should call / message SL and ask if Granite State is one of their scholarship partners too. It's not on their list, but that list isn't always current. If they are a scholarship partner, those 4 SL courses will get you anywhere from 15-25% off your actual Granite State tuition through graduation.

Again, I don't know if this would come together as neatly as you would need it to, but it's just something to consider before you jump into a full transfer. Good luck with whatever you decide!

If you have about 30 credits left with Granite State College, it maybe better to just stick with them...
You'll have to do your due diligence and "calculate" the costs for transferring over to another university.
I would only recommend the Big 3 as if it was a last resort type of thing for adults, but you're a young'un!
You've got plenty of time to decide, my guess is, stay with the Granite State College program unless it's "more expensive"
Or it's "lengthier" and you need something right away... otherwise, staying might be the better choice.

Ha that's a pretty funny story you have there too. They know me by name at my testing center

For dual majors they have a 40 credit residency requirement. 60 credit maximum on credit by exam. It still seems like relatively decent school compared to those outside the big three, but still, I hate classes! hahaha.

Yeah I was up all last night thinking about it...
I'd either have to take 10 (well 9, I'm almost done with 1) classes and 5 more tests to get a dual major at Granite State.
Or I'd have two take 2 classes and probably 16 more tests if I were to switch to TESU. I'd only get a single major though.

Do the other of the big three offer dual majors? If not, I may, rather disappointingly, stick with what I'm doing.
