My road to BALS

[mysonx3]

Other than English what other BA AOS could I just test out of using DSST/CLEP/Straighterline?

Assuming that by "DSST/CLEP/StraighterLine" you just mean alternative credits more broadly, then Psychology is fully test-friendly. History & Sociology are each one class away from being so. Not sure what others are possible.

I'd be interested in seeing what an International Studies degree plan would look like. Eyeballing the credit distribution, it seems like the main issues are going to be a) UL credits (though there are a handful I can think of that might work), b) The IR and Conflict in IR requirements, and c) the 6-credit maximum at the 100-level, which will be taken up by Western Civ 1 & 2, preventing you from using any of the CLEPs for your Foreign Language requirement.
