I just had an epiphany that might be a solution to my neighbor's dilemma about WGU accepting only a small number of his credits. (Here's the original thread if you are so inclined: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...light=dsst) He's also concerned he may not finish in one term and that would cause him to have to take out a loan to finish. He does not want to do that because he has other debts and his wife cannot work due to illness and being a stay at home mom. I feel for them because they work so hard. That's why I keep returning here to try to find an affordable solution for John.
What if he were to choose COSC's General Studies with a concentration in Information Systems? He's in IT so he has significant knowledge in that area. Wouldn't that allow him to be able to collect the deficient credits without being enrolled at COSC and potentially enroll and graduate in one semester?

I searched for some recent degree plans from COSC but since the forum is primarily dominated by TESU students, I didn't find anything recent. I'm terrible at fitting credits to the slots they can live in. Anyone want to help out with a degree plan? If COSC will accept them, he would like to take as many free and low-cost courses as possible. These sources are his preferences.
Aleks:
Principles of Statistics
College Algebra I
College Trigonometry

General Anthropology
Ethics in America
Intro to Computing
MIS
Health/Human Dev
Personal Finance

History of World after 1500
Library Science, 1

(could the courses taken in 1995 could be used as electives?)
12 credits
Others:
Just started TEEX Cyber 101
Total of 48 credits
Thank you!

- TEEX (for 6 credits)
- Free credits from Sophia (? credits)
- Free credits the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters, Underwriters, Insurance Institute of America (? credits)
- Any other sources of free/very low-cost COSC will accept (preferably not Saylor since they don't have a good reputation for aligning course content with their exams)
- OnlineDegree.com
- Study.com, a little pricey but he likes the format
