Attempting to obtain TESU credits to use for Rowan University. Worth a shot?

Does anyone want to refer me? I think I saw somewehere that you get $ towards their merch store, maybe more idk?

Im in the process of creating my Degree path. My plan is to apply but not enroll, go through the process, pass the required ALEKS courses, DSST for Technical Communication and MIS for Business of IT - Applications, and probably obtain an A+ Cert to knock out IT Foundations & Applications. If im missing anything else please let me know.

I would use SL for as much as you can, because they're a direct partner with WGU, meaning no extra cost for transcripts, and you're assured that things will come in.

Straighterline
Intro to Comm (Speech)
Org Behavior
Prin of Mgmt
C++ Programming (for Scripting & Programming - Foundations course)

Take Technical Writing as a DSST if they will take it (there's also a Tech Comm TECEP exam).

Take ALEKS College Algebra & Stats.

For the Critical Thinking & Logic, there's a Critical Reasoning TECEP ($117), Critical Thinking Propero Course ($299) or Intro to Logic AlignDegree course ($399).

I would not take the A+ cert ahead of time, since it's 2 exams and fairly expensive ($205 each). If you think you can't pass immediately, you might buy a book and study in advance, and then take the exams ASAP in the degree program. I would imagine it's going to be fairly quick for you to get through these, so it may be a waste of money to get it outside of the degree.

My husband is also getting an IT degree at WGU, and he's weighing the pros and cons of taking exams within the degree vs outside of it, to try to maximize his time. He wants to get it in a single term if possible. We agreed that A+ is better done inside the degree, unless his company will pay for the exams. He is going to take some exams ahead of time, because his company will pay for them, and he'll get "credit" at his next review for keeping current (he works in IT now, so this is a required component for him every year to get at least 1 cert or take a college course).
