It's been confusing, but I think I finally have this degree plan for TESC figured out
#1
Hi everybody! I'm fairly new to the forum, actually I've been snooping around for a while now doing research but this is my first post. I have to say that this forum is just outstanding with so much information and great people willing to offer such great advice!

As far as college goes, I already have an Associates of Science degree from a B&M community college, however I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this testing out of courses thing. I'm in the military and had always heard about it from the education center here on the base, but I guess I never believed you could really do it and have it count for anything. After finding this forum and reading the degree plans in the wiki area, it got me thinking that maybe I'm not as far away from finishing my degree as I thought I was. So please forgive me if I have this all wrong(it's my first attempt at making a degree plan...lol), but this is what I came up with after using some of the degree plans on here as a template.

CLEP, DSST, ESE= Courses I still have to test out of.
