Question about Thomas Edison's Computer Science degree.

[nvm12]

Even if you go elsewhere you can still test out of some credits. You just have to check with your institution. Most colleges will accept at least CLEP exams. A lot also except ACE credit. The difference between TESU and other places is TESU will accept just about any ACE credit. For example my CC has declined every request I have made to them for ACE credits but they claim they take them. Then they tried telling me the TESU's TECEP for Federal Income Taxation (a 400 level course) wouldn't meet there 200 level course requirements). I think this school is just very very greedy. I am going to send in my ACE transcript to them when I am done and see if they award me any of the courses that could be used there. Just to see and be able to help out people thinking about HVCC in my area.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried looking online, and the university I was considering doesn't seem to offer CLEP exams. I think the only case they acknowledge credit is if you've already actually done those courses and passed them successfully, and not always. This sucks so much. Even if I went the Thomas Edison way, I would barely be saving anything. Maybe a bit of time, but that's arguable since I will have to learn the material either way. Going the local university way could possibly take me anywhere from 3 to 5 years. I don't understand how Thomas Edison would save any time, as I will have to study the material anyway. What do you think?
