TESU for sure has this, after you apply. It's pretty handy.

Thanks guys. It looks like there is one degree I might can apply and get from TESU with my current credits, but that 2k fee is a killer. Waiting to hear back from COSC.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out. 

Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

I encourage you to ask TESU about applying the one $2k fee to both an AS and a BS. I do not believe we have ever gotten a definitive answer about how that process works. We've had people say they have to be awarded at the same time, that you have a year from paying the fee to get both done, and that no matter how long it takes, you don't have to pay a second waiver fee. If you get a favorable answer, be sure to get it in writing (an email will do).

Doing both at TESU makes a lot more sense if you don't have to pay the fee a second time, and I don't believe they intend to soak their students for the fee twice.

Yes - the options might be a little more expensive, (MIS DSST exam is $80 + fees, the course through Ed4Credit.com is $195 as an example), but it can definitely be done using a combination of SL, TECEP, CSU-Global CBE's, and Ed4Credit.

This is a very short version of how your credits would fit into the West Virginia Northern Community College Board of Governors AAS program.

1. COM 1: ENG 101 English Composition I B 3
2. COM 2: SPH 107 Fundamentals of Public Speaking B 3
3. SCI: BIO 103 Principles of Biology I C 4
4. MATH: MTH 103 Principles of Technical Mathematics C 3
5. HUM: MUS 101 Music Appreciation B 3
6: SOC: Shmoop US History I 3
7. COMP: CIS 146 Microcomputer Applications B 3
8: ELECTIVES: MTT Courses A 48 (!!)

I put in the Shmoop course to fulfill the Social Science requirement, but that would be an obvious place to put their three-credit residency course if they require it.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
83 hours of ACE-worthy credits
