The two degrees is not a requirement, but I really want to add credits via CLEP. My current BSAST will be completed with TESC courses. I actually am looking into the BS to MS program at TESC in clinical trials (which is the field I'm in). I using FA for the comprehensive plan and want to get all 36 credits available, thus trying to plan out when to take what to maximize everything.
The second degree that I was thinking about was BA in English. Other choices would be BA Humanities, BALS or BA Natural Science and Math. For each of the degrees, as it stands with current credits I need 40 more credits that I could use CLEP credits. My thought was to test out of whichever credits I can, hold on to those and send AFTER I get the BSAST. I'm not sure if that would be considered earning after first degree. Probably not. Dual major may be the option, so I'm back to making phone call!
Post what you find out. This is always something I've not known that much about (despite horselover's confidence in me lol) but it comes up from time to time- so it will be helpful for others too.
