CLEP benefits vs. Straighterline?

[mednat]

Thanks! That makes sense.
I plan on transferring the credits to COSC for a BSBA
Once, that is completed, I will probably work on a masters or mba.
If I have the BSBA, can/would a school know whether they were SL or CLEP?
Either way I don't think it makes that much of a difference since I still intend on taking about a dozen other SL courses, so if they will frown on SL courses, I don't think it matters if I have 12 or 20.

It won't matter to COSC. It depends on the masters or mba program. From what I've seen most don't really mind the source, but some prefer grades in specific areas. In this instance CLEP and ACE (Straighterline) credits are in the same boat as being pass/fail.

As you can tell from my credits, I went a similar route as you, with the assumption that if at some point in the future it mattered, I will just retake a class for a grade. If I had used CLEPs or classes, it would have taken me considerably longer because most of my delays involved me scheduling times where I was sure I could be at a testing center. With SL, I just pay $9 and take the test at the moment I know I'm available. Small things like that helped me accelerate my credit gaining.
