Plans people here followed to earn English degrees? - SirTeacherGuy - 08-02-2014
Could those who completed English degrees through the Big Three schools please consider sharing their plans of testing and coursework? Ideally, I would like help developing a plan for earning an English degree through Thomas Edison State College, but advice for any of the Big Three schools would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Check the Wiki. The gen ed part will be out of date for most of the degree plans, though.

Another forum member put this website together: Almost Free College He gives options for English with or without CLEP/DSST option.

This topic is rather interesting, because it sounds like if I wanted to, I could get an additional degree in English fairly easily - maybe in as few as six classes.
I'm currently on track to earn a B.A.S. in IT Management in May. When I first entered college, I wasn't quite sure about the direction I wanted to go, and I earned quite a few credits in English. I passed CLEPs in Analyzing & Interpreting Literature and College Composition, and I've taken conventional classes in Public Speaking, Technical Writing, and Business Writing. I'd also be willing to take the American Literature or English Literature CLEPs.
I doubt I'd really do this - if I still have time, motivation, and funds after I graduate, I'd probably get a better ROI from an MBA or another master's program. However, since you all know much more about TESC and similar programs than I do, you might be able to provide some additional insight. How easy would this be for someone like me?
