Credit for Industry Certs

[spazz]

Well.. sorta. If you're just say CLEP by itself then yes. If you include DANTES, Excelsior, perhaps even those IT Certs we named this thread after then you could probably do all of a Psychology degree and all of a CIS degree. Throw in the GRE and you could probably 'test' out of another degree.

Well I do not know what school you go to then. If you take a state school (practically anyone can get into), then you would not be able to test out of the 3 years of core classes.

Maybe if you do an online program or whatever, but even if you could, would it be worth the time and money? Would the degree really be worth as much as a traditional 4 year degree? Nope. All the factors I have talked about are going to come into play here. Accreddiation, employability etc.

For every clep I take at my school, I have to get 3 people to sign off on it. Most colleges only accept CLEP, and most schools are not going to allow you to clep anymore then 2 or 3 courses.

GRE is used for graduate school entrance, there is no testing out of a degree. That is absurd. If that was true, anyone could take a GRE course that teaches you how to crack the GRE, and everyone would just go ace the GRE. Then they would have a meaningless 4 year degree.
