Penn Foster Degree Program - Will it transfer to TESU?

[dfrecore]

I'm going to second what cookderosa said, there is no point in getting a PF AA to try to transfer to TESU, when you can just do all the required courses through various ways for about the same as the monthly payments at PF.

Now, if the courses at PF are really inexpensive, and you wish to take the full 2 years to do them there and then transfer what you can over to TESU, you could try that. But honestly, if you just paid about $100/mo (maybe more in some months, maybe less in others), you could do this yourself in less time.

For instance, you could sign up for Study.com for a month for $199. That will get you 2 exams. BUT, you can also use it to study for Saylor exams. So for instance, you could study for Financial Accounting & Managerial Accounting, Applied Managerial Accounting & Advanced Accounting in one month. Then, go to Saylor and take the Financial Accounting & Managerial Accounting exams for $25 each, and finish the Applied Managerial and Advanced Accounting courses through Study.com. You've spent $250, and gotten 12cr, 6 of which are UL.

There are a lot of other options for this as well - using InstantCert for $20/mo to study for many of these Saylor exams (Marketing, Management, Intro to Business, Business Law, etc.). You could use ALEKS to get math credits for $20/mo. You could take some of the free courses (NFA, Insurance Ethics). You could sign up for Shmoop for $88/mo and take unlimited courses there. So many inexpensive ways to get credits, it's almost unbelievable.

You don't need PF for anything, really. There are some courses you COULD take there, but I don't see the need.
