Starting from scratch, where to begin?

[dfrecore]

So im thinking. What if my credits are not enough to tackle the COMM credits for a communication degree(and i need to take expensive tesu courses).  Is it possible to aply then for a bals (arts) with the same information? Or do i need to review my credits again thru a company? I almost forget that i also have 60 ect from a social bachelor(only the first year not the whole bachelor). Courses like sociology, politics, psycology etc. So i send these also in. Im now searching for a COMM and bals program to take a look on the courses. If these can be the same. So that i can start with common courses. I think my toefl preparation and the collecting, reviewing and translation from al my documents are at least 3-4 months. In the mean time i will start with some courses. Any recommended courses or good comm/bals schedules? Make it scense to start with some free courses or do i better wait till everything is reviewed? And do i need a transcript or do i wait till my dutch credits are reviewed?

Once you apply to TESU, and have all of your credits evaluated, you can use them in any degree plan, so it's easy to change.  I would definitely suggest going the COMM route now, and then if it turns out to be expensive, switch to a BALS.

If you know for a fact that you haven't taken some courses that are required, like English Comp I & II, American Govt/Comparative Politics, math, things like that - then you should take those.  I'd go the free/cheap route if possible, then switch to the more expensive options once you get those done.

Since you can't do CLEP (I don't think you can), then I'd go with The Institutes, TEEX, Sophia (free), ALEKS (math), Saylor, OnlineDegree, and then wait for your eval.
