Well after a LOT of research, calling many different online colleges to see if my ITT credits will transfer (not a lot of luck there), I've decided to forget about the ITT credits transferring. I'm just going to go for it, and test out of everything. I'm doing my very first CLEP "Principals of Marketing" on Friday April 9th. I can't wait to get started.

Good luck to you!

Not to lay on any pressure, but if take CLEP Principles of Management soon you should also take DSST Principles of Supervision either the same day or soon afterwards. The material is very similar and would give you 3 more credits to use as Business Elective for a BSBA or General Education or Free Elective for other degrees. Also, if you're going for a BSBA try and do DSST Human Resource Management soon afterwards too for the same reason although you will need to brush up on some HR matters too.

I completely agree with John. You also should look into taking the DSST Org Behavior also. There is alot of overlap.
