With the exception of the capstone, you can use tests and Straighterline to complete a psychology degree at TESC. If you were open to taking the Psychology GRE Subject Test, I would recommend COSC. The problem with that is that the test is only offered 3 times a year. This is my test out plan for TESC's psychology program.

I've viewed all of your plans & have several saved in my notes. The place I get confused first is in trying to figure out what Gen. Ed. Credits I still need. I know I need English 2 which won't be a problem, I'd just hate to waste money & time on things I don't need.

I don't believe DSST technical writing will fulfill the "writing intensive" ENG-102 requirement.
You would need to either take CLEP College composition, SL or PF course.

You have so much patience doing all of these informal evaluations. LOL. This must be a hobby of yours. Fundamentals of Math might not count and be considered developmental even though the course code is 1000-level. TESC wouldn't give me credits for 100-level courses labeled Basic Mathematics and Algebra IA.
