International student - frantz69 - 10-28-2017
Hello everyone ,
So I follow this forum for few months now and I finally decided to sign in.
I'm gonna introduce my self first , so My name is Frantz , I am 22 years & I live in France. The reason I'm interested aout a fast degree is because since childhood I have struggles with school.So I quited high school after failed on exam that get you enter to college.
For 3 years now , I go to college as "free listener/auditor " ( in other terms I go to courses but without pass the exam) , so I have zero credits. But during this 3 years I have learned a lot & nowI think I've the level of graduated student ...but without the degree.
So my question is , as an international student with all the knowledge required to get a degree in Maths ( & maybea second on Physics) , Can I have a bachelor degree by examination in the US ( from the big 3) ?
and How many times/money do I need ?
Thanks for help

Have you taken the TOEFL? TESU and Excelsior would require certain scores for undergrad. I'm not sure about Charter Oak as I only saw their score requirements for graduate admissions.

I don't think (but I could be wrong) that Charter Oak or Excelsior have a degree in Math or Physics. TESU does have a degree in Math, but not in Physics.
So, you could get a degree in Math, with much of the degree able to be tested out of, but you will have to take a few courses online for approx $1000 each, because they don't have test-out options for those courses (maybe 7 math courses).

Charter Oak offers concentrations in mathematics and physics, but they don't come close to offering all the required courses. You can earn a good number of credits through the Subject GRE Tests.

Why can I never find the list of concentrations when I look them up on their website??? I go here and it always looks so limited, and I can't get around it quickly enough to find answers that I want: https://www.charteroak.edu/prospective/programs/concentrations/

You have to go to Bachelor's in General Studies under Programs of Study. Once you get to the link you posted, you have to click on the link included in this paragraph.
Quote:For more concentration options, our Catalog lists concentrations in the General Studies major that can be completed with other sources of credit, such as credit transferred from regionally accredited institutions or testing, and information on General Studies concentrations in Individualized Studies and Liberal Studies.
It's not very user friendly, but I have a feeling that they're hiding these concentrations for a reason.
