As you make a degree plan, you have to keep in mind that every college's degree requirements differ slightly. So, if you choose to consider Excelsior, Thomas Edison, or Charter Oak, you'll have to do a degree plan for each of those and see what's the better fit. Matching courses/exams to WSU won't help you unless you're thinking of attending WSU- and in that case you'd have to see what exams that they accept.
My suggestion is to spend some time kinda learning the vocab here, reading the archives, and absorbing some of the amazing resources in these discussions. Welcome!
I don't know why I want to match WSU.... I just want to feel I have the knowledge I desire. Addiction counseling ( which could be a requirement for apart of a BA at Excelsior) is something I am not interested in right now. However, I will learn and then test out IF it comes down to that. I want to look around and see if I can found those last 4 classes that I DO desire to learn from, and see if they can be apart of one of the big 3 colleges or other colleges. If not, I have that plan B.
It's going to be a while until I feel confident enough to test out of anything, though. I learn more for the knowledge then a degree. That certification would be nice! Don't get me wrong! And that is why I am here... to amine for a psychology and maybe a social work degree sometime, just slowly. And my first prioritize is to get those 10 classes that WSU wants just as a personal goal. Even if they don't match up with anyone. I know.. I know.. silly. Just call it my addiction.
