Thanks for the quick reply. To answer the above questions:
1) Do you have a specific major in mind that interests you the most?
Any major will really do. I just want the piece of paper, because most of the job postings at my work just indicate "Bachelor's Degree and x years work experience"
2) Where are you in your career and what type of work do you do? Or, if you're just starting off or want to switch careers, what do you want to be in your ideal world?
I work for an insurance company. At my place of employment, we have jobs in every field you can think of.
3) What is more important to you: speed or price?
Both are relatively important. But if I had to choose, it would be price
4) Do you prefer to test out of as many remaining classes as possible, or do you want to take a few more classes?
I prefer to test out of as many courses as possible. I have pretty good experience at test taking.
5) Do you have a preference for COSC, or would any of the Big 3 work if the school met your goals?
Any of the three would work
There is a program in my industry called LOMA (Life Office Management Association). I have completed just about all of their courses withing the past two years which Charter Oak said they would accept as transfer credits (Equivalencies can be found at LOMA: College Credit Recommendations: National CCRS. I completed most of my general studies requirements at a four year college and several lower level business courses. Only thing is, the lower level business courses do not correspond to the lower level courses listed in the handbook. But looking at the lower level business courses in COSCs manual, they can mainly be tested out of.
Thanks for your insight!
