Hello,
This is my first post. Seems like a great community. My name is Josh. I'm 25 years old from Buffalo, NY. I earned about 50 college credits as a Computer Science major before dropping put and taking a full-time tech job in 2001. At my last job I was the only Application Consultant in the company's history to get hired without a college degree. I am currently working at a contracted employee in the IT department in a public school district. I earn the same salary as my peers with degrees at the moment, but I would like to start a family in the future and don't want to hit the proverbial glass ceiling too soon. As I've been working in education, being surrounded by people with degrees has motivated me to go back to school.
I am entering a program designed specifically for working adults in the fall. I will be working toward a B.S. in Business Management. It's a 60 credit program that takes 18 months to complete. Classes meet once a week and there are 5 semesters. I plan to enter the 18 month MBA program after I finish.
In order to fulfill my major requirements I need to take a few CLEP exams. My school accepts up to 15 CLEP credits.
Here are the exams I am considering. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be appreciated!
- American Gov't <- Counts for my History requirement and seems interesting
- Chemistry or Biology (suggestions?)
- Literature <- Fills a Humanities requirement - English Lit? American Lit?
