These are some useful links... (in addition to CLEP/DSST/UExcel - Effective July 1st, there will be an additional USD50-USD60 for UExcels, so they'll be on the more pricey end, but still useful for certain courses not available elsewhere or certain 6-credit exams)

Thomas Edison State College: Course Offerings - Similar to a CLEP/DSST, but cost $108 per exam; some utilize open courseware resources
Thomas Edison State College: Psychology - Degree plan for TESC's BA Psychology
