Different schools offer different amounts of credit for CLEP and many do not accept some of the CLEP exams. My son is attending our local Community college in the fall and will probably get his AS there, but for his Bachelor's degree is thinking of attending Liberty University online. Liberty accepts ACE and gives much more credit for CLEP exams that our Community college does. I can see where it would be quicker to get an Associates at one of the big 3 or another school that gives more credit for CLEP and accepts other ACE credit. That is one of the things that we are considering in deciding if my son just attends the CC to accumulate credit, or to work toward an Associate degree before transferring. Our CC does not accept ACE and my son has already accumulated some ACE credit in addition to some College Credit through Dual Enrollment. I think I understand what you are asking, and it is really up to the student whether they want to do all the transferring required to acheive two different Associate degrees.
