Hello everyone.
Ive been an observer of the forums for a while now (trying to get as much information as I can), and decided to join to get some more sound advice. I'm looking to join one of the Big Three. I first decided to go with TESC and even started preparing to knock out the free electives with FEMA courses, but I'm back into deliberation again. I definitely want to make the most of my transfer credits. 10 of which are Nationally accredited. The rest are RA. They are as follows:
English 101 & 102 (6 crs)
Workplace Human Relations 117 (2 crs)
Elementary Algebra 100 (3 crs)
College Math 101 (3 crs)
Computer Literacy 101 (3crs)
Electronic Spreadsheets 106 (2 crs)
Keyboarding 101 (1 crs)
Introduction to Law & Legal 100 (4crs)
EMI/NFA Courses (20 crs)
Fundamentals of Design 120 (3 crs)
Drawing 110 (3 crs)
Digital Imaging Multimedia 133 (3 crs)
Perspective 113 (3 crs)
Color Theory 111 (3 crs)
for a TOTAL: 58 credits
My preferred area or major would be a Bachelor of Arts. As you can see, I have a few Art related courses. Ive also done a nice amount of work experience running my own creative service business for the past 7 years. I do family photography, portrait paintings, graphic design, and web design. I have an elance account and have done gallery shows and such. I even had the white house ask to commission me for a piece.
Does anyone with current knowledge of these school's policies have a good suggestion for me to make the most of my credits, and put me on that straight line to graduation? Also, has anyone had more success with StraighterLine than with CLEP/DSST as far as time is concerned? Are there any other CHEAP ACE approved ways to get credit online? I pretty much have quite a bit of time on my hands to dedicate to studying and testing. And although cost IS an issue, my priority #1 is advancing as quickly and smoothly as I can.
Thank you all in advance for helping me on this journey!
