I just posted here on my experience earning a BA in music from TESU:

I don't think it's possible to do a BA in Music exclusively through credit-by-exam, because there aren't CBE tests available for all of the required courses (at least that I could find, after extensive searching). You can come pretty close, though.
You can see how I did mine in the link above. I could have also done 6 credits of music theory via the music theory AP exam, but I decided to take some local courses instead. There is a Music History II TECEP available but I woudn't recommend it (I explain why in the other post). There aren't currently any exams you can take to meet the degree requirements for Music History I or the 5 upper level music courses; however, depending on your musical background, you might be able to do PLAs in those. I covered 4 of the 5 UL courses through PLAs and did one music history course and one UL music course at a local college. Of course, you'd also have to do the required capstone at TESU.
