Hi. Thanks for the reply.
1) Do you have any credits under your belt already?
ANS: I do have credits, but as I am an a foreign national, and those credits were earned from a foreign university, I do not know if they are relevant to this approach. Time is essential to me, as I have said, and I do not know how long it would take to get those evaluated for accreditation, or if it would even be worth the effort.
2) Which tuition plan do you plan on doing: Per-Credit Tuition Plan, which requires 12cr of residency (you can use TECEP's to fulfill it) or Enrolled Options Tuition Plan ($3300 to enroll)?
ANS: I would be going with the "Per-Credit". That is the cheaper option, and if these can be fulfilled using TECEPs, that means the exams are online, and that works really well for me.
3) How would you like to take your courses/exams: CLEP, DSST, Straighterline courses, Saylor courses, cheapest possible way, etc. For instance, if you want to use Straighterline, and plan on taking several courses each month, that's a cheaper option than CLEP/DSST. But if you only do 1 course per month, then that's a more expensive way to go.
ANS: I would prefer to explore options that allow tests/exams to be completed online, or in my native country, Belize, if at all possible. My employer is very stringent when it comes to education, and as such, it is unlikely that I would be allowed to travel to the US, to take an exam and travel back multiple times.
