CLEPS to an Associate Certificate ?

[rachel83az]

Getting an Associate degree is not a low-cost option when you are looking for a specific type of degree. There is a list of some of the most inexpensive options here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/As...7s_Degrees A generic A.A. or A.S. would generally be the most affordable option for you. If you choose an IT/Comp Sci Associate, there are generally fewer general education credits that can be filled by CLEP exams and more credits that must be taken directly at the school itself.

If you were older, you could get a Pierpont degree, but you're not. So that's off of the table.

To be honest, for only slightly more than the cost of an Associate degree, you could get a whole Bachelor's degree at Charter Oak (UMPI could be cheaper but isn't available to students younger than 20). It sounds like you are international. There are not a lot of scholarships available for international students - in general, they're targeted at American citizens who want to go to an American school. International students are expected to pay full price and more.
