Hey guys, I'm going to be 30 and just decided to go back to school. I'm going to go to tesu, right now I transferred my transcript from wgu to tesu. I haven't enroll yet but just create an account. I wanted to know i was reading this blog about degree hacking and the guy did the ace exams one by one until he had the capstone left. I thought you could do up to 90 credits to transfer? I'm majoring in environmental studies. He only used saylor, study.com and schoom. I'm very excited but at the same time I know its going to take time and gonna be a lot of work but its worth it in the end! I was going to use Sophia, modern states, etc.

That method doesn't quite work today. Today there are RA credit requirements. Schmoop no longer exists. TESU requires you to take 3 classes with them at a minimum. Testing for almost every class can also be very time consuming instead of taking courses from Sophia and Study.com. Which degree are you looking to complete? Some degrees are almost impossible to complete online without taking several courses at a college. What courses do you have from WGU?

Oh I didn't know that. Okay, ill do Sophia and study.com. I took English and  communications and my course for WGU was accounting. The only thing why I left is because they required all classes to be all B's. I'm an average student lol... I should push harder I know!

For the environmental studies, I could just use study.com as they have a online lab and yeah some courses needed to be transferred in.

Shmoop is gone and has been gone for years. That's an oooooold blog. One of the biggest changes is that you now need at least 30 RA credits (6 of which can come from the cornerstone and capstone).

You can't inexpensively major in Environmental Studies, either. You have to take a number of relatively expensive courses from TESU and/or elsewhere.

Whats a cornerstone? I know about the capstone. Yeah that makes sense, I thought transfer in 90 credits and then do the courses at the college is how it works. Idk how Excelsior does it, with transferring 113 and doing 7 credits only. As long as the degree is less than $10k I'm okay.
