I will definitely check into grad programs first, although I'll probably risk limiting my options just to get the BA done fast.

I initially thought the Excelsior grading of tests was to create the illusion of a normal transcript, but now I see it's more for continuing education.

I will probably stick with CLEP since they're cheap.

If you're not picky about grad programs, don't even worry. You WILL find something easily. I totally agree with getting the BA done as quickly as possible, especially if you don't have a specific idea on the masters.

Also wanted to mention that depending on the credits that you already have, you may need to do more than Clep and Dantes. I couldn't have completed all of the UL credits I needed without some help from ECE. TECEP is totally, ridiculously expensive for a non-TESC student. Seriously... it was going to cost me like 700 bucks to take it. However, the ECE is only around $250 and you can take that through a Pearson Vue testing center... check their website to see if there's one near you. If you can finish up with only CLEP/DSST, that is best for cost, but don't rule out ECE and of course, you may want to also use other cheap credits such as Straighterline, FEMA, and ALEKS.
