Ok,
so.... COSC is out as far as what I wanted to do.
Talked to Shawn Holliday. I *think* I may have it worked out to stay at a friends' house and take several DSST's back to back over the course of a weekend.
Wanted to see how they might fit in the COSC Bachelors in Public Safety Administration. I want to basically transfer everything in. I knew I'd have to take the capstone, but I (and, I'm sure I've deen warned but just didn't hear it) didn't realize that you truly cannot transfer all of the credits for this degree.
You can only transfer 90 TOTAL. You have to take the remainder at COSC.
You cannot portfolio out of the remaining courses either.
I asked for a list of the degrees that allow the 114 maximum (which, I thought capstone was 3 credits, that maths out to 6), but was given a link to the page that lists all the degrees.
I'm dragging now. Bio lab and intro to comms isn't really hard, I just am getting homework block. Think I am going to slug through those two, follow through on the DSST thing if it works out, then catch up on some noncollege coursework for the remainder of the year.

Quote:Hi High Order. The maximum number of credits someone can transfer to us if they are doing the Public Safety Administration program is 90. This is a bit different than the general college academic residency of six credits (meaning that, in most cases, students can transfer up to 114 credits). Some programs (PSA, HIM, Cyber Security) do have a higher residency requirement.
That said, there’s still a lot of flexibility. There are not any DSST or CLEP exams that can be used directly in the PSA concentration, but there’s no limit to using applicable exams throughout the remainder of the degree.
