Is it possible to just take CLEP classes and get a degree?

Hi, I wish it was not the case but my biggest concern is probably cost.

I do not really have a specific degree in mind, my associates and field are IT, but business or anything really would be fine.

I was thinking of an associates as well because it looks like the requirements would be filled while going for a bachelors.

Is there any way to tell what the best option would be without applying to each school? I realize it's probably not possible to completely tell. I have been trying to look at plans but I am not sure exactly what would count toward what, and what would be most cost effective.

Thanks again for the help

The application fee is about $75 per school. In my opinion, that is going to save you money in the long run because you'll have all the facts. Without all the facts, you're just speculating, which costs money AND time.

Bachelor's degree is the way to go. You've got enough credits, you'd be flushing money and time waiting (full quarter) for the graduation process and paying graduation fees ($400) for another associate's degree. Plus it's redundant. You're moving the goalpost backwards.
