Help requested with Thomas Edison degree plan. BSOL

I would suggest a different degree.  This one is going to be harder to test out of, because you can't test out of all of the requirements - so you're going to have to take $1500 courses from TESU at some point in addition to the Capstone.

Instead, you should do the BSBA in HR/Org Mgmt.  That is full test-out-able.

I would not necessarily do the DSST's that jjsafari is recommending, because most of the UL exams can't be used in the AOS for either the degree you stated, nor the BSBA.  If you choose to take DSST's rather than using other course providers, then make sure you know where they're going to fit into your AOS (area of study).  At TESU, the only time UL courses "count" is when you're using them in your AOS.  If you're not, then you've just taken a harder exam for no reason (unless it's that you think you can pass easily).

There are so many options for taking courses/exams, that I wouldn't limit myself to CLEP/DSST's.  You can do them if you want, and should for anything you can pass fairly easily, but they are by no means the only way to get credit.  SL and Study.com are much more popular now than the exams.
