[goodideabb]

Howdy lovely people,
I've been trolling the forum for about a week now, visited all of the big 3's sites, & am now studying for my 1st CLEP ever (Humanities). I'd like to finish a bachelor's in either Liberal Arts with a psychology concentration or just a Bachelor's in Psychology.*Can anyone give me advice on which school to go with so I can finish as quickly and cheaply as possible by exam. (I'd like to take as many SL courses as possible)*I tried to get info over the phone & via email but they seem to keep pushing their transcript evaluations, but I'd like to only be evaluated by the school I intend on attending.($$$ you know)At any rate here's my B&M transcript. Thanks in advance for all you guy's help.

With the exception of the capstone, you can use tests and Straighterline to complete a psychology degree at TESC. If you were open to taking the Psychology GRE Subject Test, I would recommend COSC. The problem with that is that the test is only offered 3 times a year. This is my test out plan for TESC's psychology program.

I've viewed all of your plans & have several saved in my notes. The place I get confused first is in trying to figure out what Gen. Ed. Credits I still need. I know I need English 2 which won't be a problem, I'd just hate to waste money & time on things I don't need.

Intermediate Algebra counts as college-level math for this degree. You can use ALEKS for this.

Here is where your classes would fit in the Gen Ed requirements at TESC. The classes listed at the end would be free electives, so you would only need about 7 more FEMAs to finish those. Go with Sanantone's plans for your area of study. Good luck!

I don't believe DSST technical writing will fulfill the "writing intensive" ENG-102 requirement.

You would need to either take CLEP College composition, SL or PF course.

Thanks, Ironheadjack. I fixed it.

You have so much patience doing all of these informal evaluations. LOL. This must be a hobby of yours. Fundamentals of Math might not count and be considered developmental even though the course code is 1000-level. TESC wouldn't give me credits for 100-level courses labeled Basic Mathematics and Algebra IA.
