RE: TESU Technical Studies - dfrecore - 04-03-2018
I have read on here previously that they will NOT take Bio instead of Chem/Physics. Major bummer, because it's not cheap to find Chem 2 or Physics 2 with lab. Rio Salado has Chem I & II, plus there are a few options (like taking the Chem CLEP exam, then taking the labs there or somewhere else). They also have Physics I & II, although the lab courses are included so you'd have to take the course with lab).
And allvia is correct, Accounting & Management are not Gen Ed. You might want to switch to a different CLEP/DSST exam instead. Especially the Intro to Computers DSST if it won't overlap with the CLEP Computers course. Or the MIS DSST exam.
If you are current military and get CLEP/DSST exams for free, then you should do that. But if you aren't, and are paying for CLEP exams, you might want to look at taking ModernStates. They give you a free prep course, a free voucher to take the CLEP, and then will reimburse you for the test center fees.
We also have links to other free courses available, so look into those. I think this is the link: http://degreeforum.wikia.com/wiki/The_Basic_Approach

Study.com has Physics I + II offered since Feb I believe. After that, I would take my labs from TESU (I/II) or Straightline (I) and TESU (II) or you could CLEP Chemistry and takes labs at ED4Credit (I) and TESU (II). I can recommend the course at ED4Credit as being both easy and pretty straightforward.

I've applied to TESU and sent my transcripts, but I haven't heard from them yet. I'm not sure how long it takes once you apply.
I have scheduled another CLEP so I will continue working on the obvious until I hear back from them.
Thanks for all the information.
