Looking for guidance/degree plan/ general help
#3
(04-04-2019, 12:15 PM)Jitzman94 Wrote: I've come a long way, but i am at a cross-roads and looking for guidance on what to do next.


Next month I will graduate with two different A.A. degrees from my local community college. A psychology degree, and a political science degree. I have switched my major a few times (hence me receiving two degrees) and I have a variety of credits from both CC and in the form of CLEPS


I am making one final change and am looking to complete my B.A. in history. I am currently evaluating both Excelsior and TESU to do so. I would like to get through this back end of my 4 year degree as quickly, efficiently and inexpensively as possible.

Can you guys possibly help me devise a degree plan to do this? I will outline my completed courses below in just a moment.

also, what is more recommended, as far as being able to test out of courses via study.com or other methods Excelsior? or TESU?

both institutions seem fairly expensive for out of state tuition, how do you guys complete these degrees so inexpensively?

UMUC is a third option, another all-online college that is in my state of Maryland. I like TESU and Exclesior however, because they are flexible, and there are seemingly a multitude of ways to earn credit other than the standard 16 week college course.

I know very little about "the big 3" and looking for help as to what comes next and how to reach my goals in an efficient and affordable manner.

here is the list of credit's Ive earned / courses I've taken.

CLEPS:

College mathematics  (6 credits ?)
Intro to educational psych (3)
Principles of marketing (3)
Principles of management (3)
US History I (3)
US History II (3)
Western Civ I (3)
Western Civ II (3)

COMMUNITY COLLEGE CREDITS:

English Composition, ENG 101 (3)
American Nat'l Govt, PS 101 (3)
General Psychology, PSY 101 (3)
Intro to Information Science, CIS 102 (3)
Intro to Business, BA 101 (3)
Intro to Sociology, SOC 101 (3)
Intro to Theatre, THEA 101 (3)
Fundamental of Biology, BIO 100 (4)
Contemp Health Issues, HLTH 101, (3)
Nutrition, BIO 210 (3)
Fitness Walking, PE 230 (1)
Child Psychology, PSY 202 (3)
Social Problems, SOC 102 (3)
Popular Music of the U.S., MUS 222 (3)
English Comp Research Writing, ENG 109, (3)
Human Dev. Across Life Span, PSY 214 (3)
Speech Fundamentals, CMST 101 (3)
Hiking, PE 130 (1)
State and Local Gov't, PS 102 (3)
Intro to International Relations, PS 201 (3)
Alcohol/Drugs on Behavior, PSY 208 (3)
Intro to Entrepreneurship, BA 110 (3)
Business Ethics, PHIL 221 (3)
Principles of Supervision, BA 107 (3)




I also have three articulated credits from my high school on my community college transcripts for CJ 101 (criminal justice) not sure if these count for anything.

all in all I have 99 Credits If those CJ 101 credits count, 96 total without those.


I appreciate all of you who took the time to read through this and help me in any way possible.
I would go to study.com after you've gotten credits from cheaper places like Saylor, Davar, etc. Study.com has the umichigan coupon code which expires at the end of the year. TESU recently became more expensive because they added a required course.
