[TESU] - (Probably) Stupid Questions Regarding Choosing Which Degree to Test Out Of

[Granola]

Hi Everyone,

I've been a longtime lurker on this site for a few years now dreaming of getting my degree and taking my career/life to the next level, but I wasn't able to pull the trigger because of family/health problems. Now that most of those obstacles are out of the way I can finally focus on getting it. From everything I've read, TESU seems like my best bet, but I'm hung up on deciding which degree to go after.
I have (mostly elective) credits from my brief time attending school 12-15 years ago for Graphic Design/Photography. I'm not dead-set on obtaining a degree in Graphic Design as my career has changed quite a bit since then, but I don't want any of the credits to go to waste if they don't have to. I've been looking at getting a BA in Communications at TESU (putting together a degree plan is harder than I thought it'd be) because that seems to be the best avenue for what I'm trying to achieve but I'm curious: Can I *only* test out of the online degrees that TESU offers or is it possible to obtain the required amount of credits elsewhere (through testing, etc) and use them to obtain a degree that TESU only offers on-campus (in my case I'm thinking of the Bachelors in Art Degree with a Graphic Design focus)? If it is possible, does any one have any experience doing that? I've searched the site for others who may have tried obtaining an Art degree but the information was slim.

Thanks in advance!
