How many courses do you have to take through TESC to graduate?

Yep. I'll take those at the local community college though.

As for the enrollment, let me see if I understand this. If I CLEP everything I can and take the rest of the classes at my local college, all I have to do is send TESC a check for $1350 plus graduation fees and I get a diploma? Would this be considered a "diploma mill"? I mean, wouldn't it be looked down on out in the job market?

Oh, I also wanted to add: your local university probably accepts CLEP tests if you feel like that's a better path for you. You will likely have a 30+ credit residency and sometimes a small transfer fee, but nearly everyone takes some amount of CLEP or DSST exams.
