BA in English TESU Credit by Exam Process

No worries, always here to help. I would recommend doing all you can with the FREE courses (Sophia.org and the ones mentioned in the wiki) to get you past that 100 credit mark. I highly advise you to get the Sophia ones done first, you can change the dates BEFORE you start the course (not during the course). So what I do is, start one course at a time, and change the dates to 3 months in advance to remind me when I start the other ones. If I don't get to that course in time, I extend that by changing the dates again.

Anyways, if you are wanting to do all you can, yes, I would recommending doing everything (including the foundation courses, because Excelsior takes them!). Just to note, even if Excelsior takes them, they still may be more expensive than TESU if not the same cost, they require 30 UL credits whereas TESU requires 15 for the BALS. BTW, shoot for the BALS first, but add the BA English if you want to see how close you are with them both.

Lastly, if cost is major concern or a factor, COSC will be the cheapest. Your BALS would be looked at identically, if it came from any of the three schools. If you're in CT, go for the COSC degree, if in NY, Excelsior, and NJ, TESU. Good luck and happy studies!
