Degree by Christmas?

[dfrecore]

Hi guys I've been lurking for months and I'm finally posting. This forum is a game changer. I'm looking to go to Law school but first I need to get my BA! I picked Excelsior because they take NA credits. They took about 40 credit hours so I am 80 away. Does anyone think that the Liberal Arts degree is doable by Christmas? I've already gotten the guardian scholarship (personal finance down, 5 more to go) and I completed the free sophia and institutes insurance ethics courses..Any help or feedback is appreciated

EC does require 30cr of UL throughout the degree, so it's not like TESU in that respect. They are also pickier about what they bring in as UL, so you're going to have to do some things to get those UL credits, which are not available through Study.com or SL. DSST exams are the easiest way to get the UL credits (I think). There's also UExce exams, which are a little more expensive, but it may be easier for you to find a PearsonVUE testing center than a DSST testing center.

Also, they will not take the CLEP exam for English, so if you still need those credits, you'll need to take the UExcel exam for it.

Did you apply with the POAG or another partnership plan? If not, I think you need to do that at the beginning; it will cut the costs considerably for you.

You need to carefully plan out the degree to make sure you have all of those necessary UL credits, so do that before you take any courses from SL/Study.com.

Good luck!
