2 questions

[TMW2010]

1. Why does everyone on here go to tesc or excelisor? I'm really just curious because there is so much talk of it on here.

2. What is the fastest, easiest degree obtainable from say tesc or another online college? I'm thinking about being an officer and need a bachelor's degree. I currently go to Embry Riddle but would like a faster plan, and yes I clep/dantes tests but still want something a little faster.

Thanks for any help

Up until recently, the Big 3 - Excelsior, Charter Oak, and TESC - offered ways of completing degrees solely through testing out, or a minimal amount of coursework, with no residency requirement (The ability to transfer in as many credits from other schools/sources of credit, up to the full amount of 120 for a degree, or 150 for degrees from two of the schools at EC). This has recently changed at EC with the addition of the Capstone course for Liberal Studies degrees. TESC has changed the way they handle UL credit in some circumstances. Technically, the capstone course is only 3 credits, which is still 'minimal' coursework, but people still don't like the idea.

The only real way to go fast is to accumulate a bunch of credit in needed areas after figuring out a degree plan for whatever school you choose, and then transfering them in to fulfill the degree requirements of that school. The other option is to see if there's any 8 week classes that fulfill your needs, from various schools like EC or APU, and take those classes.
