BA in English TESU Credit by Exam Process

[bjcheung77]

You really sure you're looking for a BA English or just a BA with any concentration to teach?  I assume you're open to any of the Big 3 as long as it's cheap/easy/fast.  I've read your previous post and it seems you're just looking to teach abroad: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-questions?

You might want to start off reading the Beginner's Guide and also the spreadsheet templates on post #28/31 in my signature.  Don't click onto any links until you get to post #28 or later, those links no longer work as you mentioned, the site for the wiki has changed...

Essentially, the guide was created to help newbies start the process and give them an overview of the requirements and a spreadsheet to show them what can go where as examples.  You should spend some time "reading" forum posts after you have read the basics. 

Everyone here is very helpful and will try to assist you getting to your goal.  Now what sets my answers apart from others on this board is this: Mostly everyone would try to get you two of the three, cheap/easy/fast, where as I look at your info more deeply and try to find a 4th - value on ROI.

And to quickly answer your main concern, what courses from which providers go where.  When you create a spreadsheet template or download mine, it'll show you the requirements needed for the degree.  40 courses total 120 credits, you need to look at providers that you're interested in, change the spreadsheet to with the info course you want to take.   Where do you find the course?  That's going to be where you dig through the recommended providers and find the equivalency.  Ta-da, you are done! 

So, to clarify, the previous poster is amazing and provided you the free credits and Sophia.org credits.  My suggestion is to do the exact same thing.  Courses here will go into your general education, free electives and you get over 100 credits free!!!  When you complete one course at a time, update your spreadsheet that you've done English I/II, etc, and color code them done.  Again, view the transfer equivalency to make sure they come over.  Not all providers have the course you need, so you do so with multiple providers.

Last but not least, my recommendation in the spreadsheet template "was" StraighterLine/Study.com, you should do the Sophia.org/Study.com combo for the win.  Here are the links to the equivalency, you download my template, update it when you're done.  Hope this helps, have fun, good luck... keep safe during this lockdown period, it's the perfect time to start!

To begin, you need to setup an ACE credit registry account to "credit bank" all your courses you have completed from different providers.

3) ModernStates.org, CLEP & AP Vouchers - If you look at the link above for FREE credits, this is listed because they provide Vouchers for exams and also reimburse you for your exam fees.  There is a test center downtown, you do not want to do the tests yet but you may want to get the vouchers for later use.  They have up to 33 courses of credits to be obtained, that also equates to ~99 credits!
