Plan for 70-80 credits in a year - amberwalk - 03-11-2019
Can someone please help me develop a plan for my daughter. Her last year of highschool is next year and she is currently dual enrolled at Liberty. The tuition is extremely high, $550 per class. Liberty informed me today that they accept unlimited ACE credit, including Shmoop, towards the 90 transferable. Is it possible to complete 70-85 credits in a year? We would like to use SL, SDC, Shmoop, Saylor, or similar. Not crazy about CLEP for various reasons. If someone could guide me I'd be eternally grateful. I've added the link to the degree plans for psychology and counseling and attached them totthis post.

Liberty requires 50% of their major to taken there. So keep that in mind as well.

Did someone say Liberty accepts up to 90 credits to transfer in or less? Thank you!

Yes I was just told toda that Liberty will take 90 credits. 25% or roughly 30 credits must be completed through Liberty with 50% coming from your major which is roughly 5 to 7 classes on my plan

What classes has she completed/in progresss through them for dual enrollment, is she completing or waiving the Bible core, and does she have any other credits besides the dual enrollment?

She has taken Eng 100 and medical terminology (both count as 5 free credits), She is currently enrolled in CCOU 201 Intro to Counseling (required cognate 3 credits) and we will continue to enroll in one class each available term until May 2020. She has 3 credits from bluefield college for comp applications.
If she enrolls with 45 credits she can waive RLGN 104 worldview and THEO 104 after 60 credits.
Im guessing the BIBL 104 would still be a requirement.

This is a very smart way to get a degree from Liberty. I have a rough degree plan made out for my son, who is loosely considering Liberty, however, he would be pursuing the Interdisciplinary Studies degree. I think the hard part for you is going to be getting 50% of her major through Liberty, especially since they only offer limited classes through dual enrollment. You may want to also make sure classes are going to transfer in as you want them to, since they don't always transfer things as the obvious class. There was someone who just got their degree on the forum who took Literature in the Media and The Bible as Literature from Shmoop and was frustrated that neither class transferred as Literature.
