Complete all General Ed at Penn Foster - Possible?

[rowan555]

The poster's question (merging both questions) was if they could do an associate's at penn foster for the purpose of knocking out the gen eds at TESU. Of course, no one knows or has looked to see if (a) they even have the same gen eds *unlikely* and (b) if every one of those is ACE evaluated *because PF is only NA and won't transfer otherwise. And then there is the question of why? The OP stated that because PF offered a payment plan. But, of course if you're using CLEP/SL/etc. you're already on a DIY "payment" plan.

I don't know if it's moot at this point, because the OP doesn't seem to have followed up to either thread.

On a quasi-related note, my younger son's homeschool plan has not been working out well - at all. I just saw yesterday that PF charges $949 for the full high school diploma program, and one of the options is an early college plan which for the same price includes 5 ACE approved college courses. Since Study.com seems to be totally overwhelming him, I'm wondering if this might be a better, gentler way to both get him a HS diploma beyond the homeschool one he'd have gotten otherwise, and to get him 15 college credits. The lack of "time crunch" aspect is attractive. But I know there's not much love for PF in general in this forum. I'm going to do some more research. Frankly, anything is better than what's happening right now, which is mostly complaining, procrastinating, and avoiding anything resembling schoolwork.
