By way of background, I am 23. I have a strong background in computer science and software development. I've also read as widely as I can in philosophy during my free time. I am now looking to knock out a BA as fast as possible in order to open to the door for graduate education in philosophy or religion.
I started earning general education credit about 45 days ago. So far I have earned 21 credits through CLEP and TECEP exams. I plan to continue at this rate â*and hope to finish the degree from one of the Big Three in time to start graduate school in the Fall semester of 2018.
Here's my question: I'd like to get my degree in philosophy. I have a fairly strong background in philosophy from my independent reading and study. However, I'm having an extraordinarily hard time finding ways to turn that knowledge into college credit quickly and inexpensively.
TESU does offer a degree in philosophy but they only offer 4-5 philosophy courses: http://www.tesu.edu/heavin/ba/Philosophy.cfm
Additionally, Straighterline offers one course, introduction to philosophy. Other than that, I can find *nothing.*
Does anyone else have any tips here?
Thanks much.
