JOE - TESU BALS Recommendations -

[bjcheung77]

Hey there, I’ve never posted yet on the forums but have been searching around here and the wiki. I’m started this month with the some of the free courses and pretty much starting from scratch, 12 credits transferring in. I am currently looking at doing my BALS through TESU with with a humanities concentration. Any recommendations on degree path?
I’m starting my free courses but now wondering if i should look at Modernstates.com as well along with Institutes, Sophia, TEEX, Saylor...then move towards Study.com or SL. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks -JROE

I would download the spreadsheet templates I have in the Beginners Guide post #28/#31 (see my signature for link) and do some decision making in which courses you would like to take.  The majority of the courses I recommend are for individuals who are more into testing at home for a small nominal cost.  

If that's the case, stick with completing all the FREE credits first (Institutes, Sophia, TEEX) and take the CSM Learn course for your math requirement.  You can take all the courses at onlinedegree.com as well for 44 credits at $9/3 credits! Saylor is cheap as well.  Sophia also have sales at $297/3 courses.   Then do the remainder at StraighterLine/Study.com

The AOS LL/UL can be done with the cheap $45/$75 TEEX courses and Study.com to finish it off.  If you are strapped for cash but very close to a testing center, and you have plenty of time on your hands - then ModernStates and the FREE CLEP option is good.
