Take a look at University of Idaho Courses-Independent Study in Idaho-University of Idaho In particular their Intro to Statistics looks pretty good. They do require proctored exams....but are open to education officers at a business, librarians, testing center staff, etc. looks like 5 exams and 6 lesson submissions for the stats class.
You might try the BYU offering, it looks pretty doable too.
My daughter was in the same situation...needing only Algebra to finish her AA. She tried the offering from Arkansas State but the grade was based solely on the mid term and final, not a tenable solution. I hired her a tutor and she started working through a textbook (about 10 hours tutoring over say three weeks). She then took the College Algebra CLEP....and failed by three points (she had passed 9 other exams at that point without breaking a sweat...bad exam). She regrouped, focused on her weaknesses for about 8 days. Spent another 4-6 hours with the tutor during that time. Took the DSST Algebra and tore it up with a 440. Thought she was set.
While the School catalog states the DSST equals College Algebra, the registrar only wanted to give credit for Intermediate. She swapped polite e-mails back and forth pleading her case and eventually the registrar agreed to award the College Algebra credit based on her high score. Success!!!
She really did feel that the DSST was easier...but I think she just happened to catch that right version of the test that happened to emphasize her strengths.
Good Luck,
Reb
