A few things:
1) EC won't take the DSST for English Comp II, you have to take an actual course through Study.com or SL, or a UExcel exam for credit (the only thing I have here about EC)
2) CJ, LE, & CM will all count at GE Electives. Intro to Business will be a Free Elective. PS is MAN course, but I think you already have too many LL AOS courses, so it would go into Free Electives.
3) Most importantly - you will want to plan in 7 LL TECEP exams. These will cost you $75 each, but they will negate you having to pay the Residency Waiver (note: this is only an option for active-duty military).
4) If you end up taking a gazillion free CLEP/DSST exams, and you fill up your degree plan, you can still take your TECEP's for things you've already taken, and they will replace the CLEP/DSST exams with TECEP's. So don't worry about taking too many CLEP/DSST's - it's not the end of the world.
6) Make sure you take LL TECEP's, as they are $25/cr ($75 each). UL TECEP's are $225 each, and a waste of your time/money. You're better off taking Study.com courses, where you can do 2 for $200 in a month, then the $225/1 TECEP.
Here is a spreadsheet to help you.
Thank you so much for the reply...its exactly the information I needed to see. I only got 10 credits from my Community College of the Air Force degree from TESU. I'm still waiting to hear back from Excelsior on how many they will give me. Once I have that information I will be deciding on which College to attend. I think I may also send a transcript to WGU. Does anyone know if WGU gives free credit evals?
