I am really leaning toward COSC if they do indeed give so much credit for the CPhT, and due to the FEMA credits.
I'm thinking that COSC may give more than 2 L on the other certification... I saw something else suggesting 4 credits.
And since TESU will probably raise their fees before I get very far with testing.
I was looking at Excelsior's BS in Health Sciences requirements at https://my.excelsior.edu/c/document_libr...upId=78666
The titles of the courses make me think they'd be hard to test out of. They have a Health Sciences assoc degree too.

But then I really love how I can stay enrolled at TESU by taking one TECEP. But what happens when they get rid of them?
COSC may raise their fees before I am ready too.
Even if I'm pretty sure of COSC, I could put off doing the FEMA credits for a while, until I'm closer to enrolling. However, I worry they would stop taking FEMA credits if I put them off.
Now I realized I was too hasty, and portfolio assessments could be perfect for me. Depending on the schools' requirements. The previous school I was at didn't make it easy and it was expensive. I'm reading more about portfolio credit. I'm wondering if this might shave off 4-8 months for me. That would be amazing. (TESC is getting rid of or drastically changing their portfolio options...?)
I prefer a BS over a BA.
I guess I can eliminate the TESU Health Sciences program. First, I don't know if I could get into the TESU Health Sciences program. Two require AA/AS, and the others seem to have requirements. It's in partnership with Rutgers, wow, but it seems like testing out of most would not be possible. Their tracks are so specialized too. I don't really like them except for one that requires AA/AS. http://shp.rutgers.edu/dept/IDS/bshscien...ogram.html They only admit students once a year apparently. There are bound to be some other requirements and policies due to being in partnership with Rutgers.
If I go with TESU, currently I strongly lean toward "Learner Designed Area of Study".
