1) Their College Catalog provides a CLEP and DSST list of what test equates to what class:

2) Now to the more complicated matter of enrollment and costs. Costs are here:
Thomas Edison State College | Enrolled Options Plan
With Thomas Edison as an out-of-state student, you pay $2300 for your first year of enrollment. Thomas Edison operated differently from just about every other college out there:
You do not have to take a single class with them.
Your $2300 means that you enroll in one of their degree programs. To be eligible for graduation, you must meet all the requirements of that degree program. You can do this through CLEP tests, transfer credits, or courses taken with Thomas Edison. They DO NOT CARE how you earn the credit, only that you actually earn it.
There are no fees to transfer credit into Thomas Edison. You are not required to take a single course with them. They earn a profit by the $2300 enrollment fee and the $230(something) graduation fee. If you had 120 credits from various colleges, you could theoretically enroll at Thomas Edison then pay them the graduation fee 5 minutes later and get your B.A.
This make any sense?
