last time i checked i think TESC courses are 200$/credit - so $600 for a class. But if you're in the military dude - you can completely CLEP your way out of a Liberal Studies degree. Other majors you probably have to do like one or 2 classes, but you can do em cheap through LSU at a self paced basis (like $300 a course).
What makes it rad is that you can pretty much transfer anything from anywhere as long as it is ACE approved, which all community colleges and CLEPs are.
i wish i knew about it a long time ago cuz I spent 2 1/2 years getting my associates the old fashioned way and spent lots of time and money (but the experience was fun so there is a positive to it).
but im glad i found it now cause it looked like it was going to take another 2 1/2 years to get my Bachelors (cause I work full time), but now its looking more like 9 months - and that was 4 months ago that i started. I only need 5 more CLEPs. So Amen, yaknow.
