They're closer in spirit to CLEP or challenge exams, they just happen to have study materials attached. That's another reason why so many of us like them. It's possible to get a degree in as little as 6 months even when following a non-CBE degree like those at TESU.
I'm not too crazy new to the degree hacking. I've started Introduction to Robotics on OD and enrolled in one of the Sophia courses when they were free. There is no way I can spend the time to get a degree in six months while also getting these:
DCA-ISM Information Storage & Management

DCS-IE PowerScale implementation Engineer
https://education.dellemc.com/content/da...s_Exam.pdf
DCS-E Storage Expert - Powerscale
https://education.dellemc.com/content/da...s_Exam.pdf
And also Electronics Technician

And a whole bunch of Electronics Journeyman tests:

And then this:
Python/SQL Developer

Until all of those things are done I can't justify taking the time to side track on anything else. Master Certified Electronics Technician takes precedence over a college degree, and so does getting certified as an Storage Expert - Powerscale
I'm sure I could stick those in an AAS degree like these that only requires me to side track for 7 classes or so:

But it would be awesome to take what really is college level learning and get a bachelors from it. Whether that is Technical Studies or Professional Studies or whatever, I don't care, as long as I don't have to deviate much from the above. That's my goal - to spend the next two or so years getting all those and also turn them into a Bachelor's degree. Once I'm done I can do Sophia full time. I would rather spend money then time, even if it's out of my own pocket.
Make sense now?
