Help With Degree Planning

[arcangel27]

How old are you? What school are you currently getting a degree from?

Dear Rachel,

Good questions, I am 15 years old, and I am around 2/3 of the way finished with my computer science degree at UND. You may have seen me poking my head around this forum a little while back.

Psychology has been a subject that has always interested me, and before moving on to a Masters, I am interested in majoring in it.

I checked and COSC and Exelcior should be happy to give me an exception for the age limit, while TESU will not.

The question is (Aside from the Capstones) can I complete the vast majority of the coursework with study+exams? I have studied and am prepared to study extensively the subjects at hand.

On my current program, I am taking around five classes per semester and I am doing well without much effort, so a few days ago I took a CLEP Spanish exam without any preparation, and it went very well, ergo I belive this form of education will work very well for me in the long term.

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for the response. I will contact TESU and see if I can make them change their minds. I am quite persuasive, and have managed to stir up management at many a university due to my age.

It's too bad that TESU is out of the question right now because of your age. It's probably the only one that will work for what you want, aside from your age.

COSC is out of the question for other reasons, mainly pertaining to the lack of acceptance for most transfer credit. You'd have to take a lot of credits through them. At least 30 COSC credits, possibly more. It's quite expensive and time-consuming now. That leaves you with Excelsior.

Unfortunately, Excelsior is also likely out of the question. If your CS degree is a Bachelor's degree, you cannot get another Bachelor's degree from Excelsior. If you dig through their rules, it's not prohibited. But they simply won't allow it. They'll steer you towards a Master's degree.

Dear Rachel,

With regards to Excelsior, can I just start a degree without informing them of any other degrees that may or may not be in progress at other schools?

Also, is there a credit transfer limit at Excelsior? I see that Study.com courses should work, which should make things easier.
