transferring credits multiple times

[husker77c]

First post here so wanted to say Hi and thanks in advance for the help.

I am going back to school due to a promotion at work and I, like all of you, am trying to do it the quickest and most efficient way possible.  I have a few questions.

I have family reasons I would like to eventually graduate from Penn State with a business administration degree, with a plan to get an MBA and project management and supply chain certificatificates.   My plan is as follows if it is possible.

Enroll in a community college and CLEP out of everything possible for an associates degree.  I'm doing this for monetary reasons, I feel that I can get the associates completed in less than a year this way.  I am seeing through Penn States transfer credit tool that quite a few higher level classes will transfer from the community college so my main question is can I use one of the big three to test out of higher level classes at the community college which will then transfer to Penn State.  This way I can stay in the community college after I get the associates degree and be working on testing out of the higher level classes that will transfer to my community college and ultimately to Penn State.

I would be looking at just going to one of the big three but more classes will transfer from the community college than will transfer from the big 3.

Basically can I use the community college as an intermediary to get the transfer credits from the big 3 to transfer to a state college?
