I've made some progress.
Passed CLEP A&I, UEX CW, and CLEP SS/H, so now I have 27 credits! Yay!
I changed my plan to be focused towards the actuarial profession. It seems very well suited towards someone who earns a degree in this method, as employment opportunities and advancement are largely determined by the passing of exams.
I added Macroeconomics and Microeconomics to my plan as well as CPCU 540, which is a corporate finance exam.
These three exams meet the first two VEE requirements that are needed for an actuarial designation in SOA or CAS.
The third requirement is Applied Statistical Methods. I have tentatively chosen 'Introduction to Econometrics' at CSU to meet this requirement. However, it's a little bit expensive at $795. I'll give a gold star to anyone who can find a better way to meet this requirement! =) I'd rather do a for-credit course than the ACTEX course which meets this requirement.
With these new exams added to my plan, I am able to reduce the amount of credit from the ACTFL exams and the GRE in Computer Science. I believe that puts my plan at a more reasonable level of difficulty.
