Just getting started, have questions

[IrishJohn]

Hello all,

I want to get started on a degree, and my understanding is that most community and state colleges will only take part of the credits in CLEP. It appears that a few, TESC of example, will allow practically all credits to come from testing. Am I correct in this? While I would prefer a degree from a school like USF, as someone here said after 5 years no one cares where your degree came from. I have a lot of time to study, and would like to get by an cheap as possible.

Thanks for any help!

You can't completely test out of a Bachelor of Arts degree from TESC anymore. A capstone course is required now. However, you can complete every other required course via CLEP, DSST, TECEP, ECE, Straighterline, ALEKS, etc. If your goal is a Bachelor of Science degree, for the BSBA at least you can still at present test out completely by combining the different options. I myself strongly suspect that this will change in a year or two, but I that's me. So if you want to do this and are asking everyone here for advice, I suppose let's start at the beginning: Why do you want a degree and what major are you interested in pursuing? Your answers would help us all in trying to assist. For now though, give this link a try: Degree Forum Wiki
