Okay, I am taking my first test on Saturday and I am am starting to question where I should go to school...I am currently registered at Strayer. In order to graduate from Strayer I need to take 12 actual courses at the school, which for Strayer translates to 54 credit hours. I am transfering in over 60 credits from previous schooling and I can CLEP out of enough so that I would only need to take the 12 other actual courses at the school or online through the school...

The problem is that Strayer is expensive and each class costs around $1200.

I have heard a few people talking about Excelsior and a couple of other schools.

Do these schools allow you to get all credits through CLEP or DSST or do you still have to take some actual courses through the school?

If so, then how does the school benefit from you being enrolled if they are not making any money from you paying tuition?

I hope this is not a stupid question. I just don't want to shell out any more money getting this degree done than necessary.

I APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE!!!

Thanks
