Pierpont BOG AAS

[Faceparade]

That's a completely different link from the first one. Anyway, the important part is that you don't have to go to just Pierpont or COSC. However, I would contact these folks and make crystal clear that they won't reject Bio and Chem credits earned from alternative sources before getting them that way. I think there's a good chance they'll take them, but I would not assume so.

Great idea thanks.

If they won't take the bio and chem from alternative sources then you take the bio and chem through one the NM community colleges cheaply (unless you live in CA then that CC is cheaper) and then transfer everything else (through alternative credit methods) in for that TESU ASNSM Biology I mentioned (or other general associates from another RA school).  I used Clovis (http://www.clovis.edu/) for my Biol w/labs as I mentioned - no costly kits and low cost book rental, but NMJR (http://www.nmjc.edu/) may offer them as well.  I truly believe that career wise and Associates in Biology along with your certification will look better on a resume than either a general associates degree (no major) or no degree at all (just 60 credits needed for the certification).

Just spoke to ASCP. They only require that the credits be listed as a course given by the college. It’s my understanding that when you transfer the credits, they turn them into their own course number. Am I correct? She also said that Labs were not required. But if course I’ll taken them if they help add up to the 12 credits. So I’ll need to see how TESU awards credits from CLEP. I agree that getting an Associates in Bio is preffereable to the general or even just 60 credits. But I wouldn’t mind the general.
