Is it possible to just take CLEP classes and get a degree?
#8
I knew you meant test out Smile

So, the magic question is what degree do you want, and or what degree would your credits best fit into?

To make your life easy, convert all of these out of quarters. Unit Converter Tool
There should be a rule that no one is ever allowed to enroll in a school that uses quarters. Okay, maybe not a "rule" but you're going to lose some hours in the conversion which might be a problem, but no reason to speculate. You need to go to TESC's site and start looking at the degree plans, pick one. You don't have to keep it, just pick one for the application.

You have 105 credits (probably, again, depends on how the conversion goes) but when you send your official transcripts, TESC will do an unofficial eval based on what you send in the degree you identify. At that point, you'll have access to a need tool that allows you to see "what if" scenarios for different degrees. Playing with that will help you see how things fall into place.

I have some counter-intuitive advice for you. You're going to think that the degree in which you have the most credits applied will be the degree to pick. That would be false. What you want to look at, is of the credits remaining, how easy/cheap is it to complete THOSE? For instance, if you were looking for a degree in science, you're going to have to shell out big bucks to find upper level science classes and labs. If you're looking at history or psychology, there are lots of exams you can knock out for very little money. Business is flexible if you don't mind price shopping, etc. So, you need to look at what's LEFT and if you can identify what's left for 2 or 3 degrees, it would take just a few minutes for most members here to help you assess the time/money required.

Hope that helps!!

PS There is no reason to look at an Associate's degree, you're too close to a Bachelors. You can finish your Bachelor's degree in under 6 months.
