College Algebra Credit - Jackmove - 12-15-2016
Hi Guys,
I really need to find a regional accredited college math course for my mother. She's needs one course to complete her associates in Early Childhood development. She's needs to complete college algebra or higher ASAP to keep her job!!!!!!because now the state requires an CDA and associate degree for her particular state funded program. Also her school do not accept ACE recommended courses. Any idea on where she can take a quick college algebra or higher math course.
Thank You and we will really appreciate the help.

Fastest way is CLEP.
Another way is to find a course at a community college, preferably online because it is generally non proctored. Most courses start this Jan 4-12 so you need to register soon as most of the classes at community in your local area are probably already filled.
If you dont have a local cc with online classes I suggest: Clovis community college, Foothill community college, arizona western college
(Pick one that is same state as tuition might be higher).
You should also be aware which math class is needed. Theres Algebra and College Algebra and to actually take College algebra you need to show that you already know Int. Algebra through either a placement test or a previous accredited class you took in most colleges. So therefore I suggest CLEP because you do not need to demonstrate this prerequisite. (Also need to check if your college accepts CLEP).
But the quickest way is CLEP. If she does not do well on tests and studying, your best bet is a online class from a community college.

Which community college does she attend? Some will take the CLEP/ DSST and others will not.

CLEP is the quickest option, another school that someone mention is OAKTON Community College. They are very well priced at 123.25$ a credit and regionally accredited. First thing she should do is see if they will take CLEP at her school if not she might want to take the class there or if OAKTON is cheaper then take it there. You would need to register by 12/19/16
