You can test out of everything except for your 33 cr major entirely.
Within your major, it's going to be a challenge. Not only to find exams (Ohio exams for a few) but even classes. Enrolling in upper level distance sciences will be a challenge. You'll likely have to find a few schools and do a patch-work-quilt approach. It's going to cost some money, and you won't be able to use financial aid at multiple schools. I've tried to plan the same degree every which way- upside and back. I'm about 7 classes shy inside the major. (I can't find a way to do this without spending too much money- I'm not able to pull together a degree plan for the last 7 classes for under ~$8000 and I just can't justify spending that on an undergrad degree when I already have <cough> a few.)
If biology is your strength, going for the 18 credits UL in that area is your easiest approach. I can direct you to several places that allow open enrollment for upper level bios. I think the next easiest (in terms of access) will be environmental. Both bio and enviro are offered at HArvarad Extension- which is where I would/might/thought about doing mine. I think, but don't know, that upper level computer science would also be considered easier access. *these are 2 grand each though. (plus books
)
I can't begin to imagine where you'd find 300/400 level physics or chemistry in a DL/open enrollment class/test...but if you do, I'd like to know. That's a question I've seen asked now and again.
Ohio has tests, but they have prereqs, so you'll have to take the courses to get to the exams, I looked briefly into that and it added a year to my schedule (plus $$$$).
Linda is the only one here I know of who has completed this degree. She posts here often, she might chime in. She did it before the new 300/400 requirements changed. Since then, I've not known anyone to do it. I'd like to hear about your progress as you go!
