Degree Plan?
#1
Hi

How do I write one when there are so many options for credits ?

Should the degree plan factor in cost as well?

And should time be a factor as well?

I saw examples on a wiki page for this website but each one says they are outdated because of college changes. Sad So I'm unsure where to really start.

I'm taking a math course on Saylor.org. I'm studying for the biology CLEP, the Anlyzing lit CLEP , humanities CLEP and the Chemisty CLEP. But haven't enrolled into any specific college yet.

I'd love love love to get my bachelor's in Natural Science in under two years.

Thanks.

Pick the program you want to complete and start figuring out the requirements for the program and the general ed requirements for the school.

Excelsior and TESC have Natural Science programs: Excelsior College | Natural Sciences and Thomas Edison State College: Natural Sciences/Mathematics

If you know a subject enough to score in the 40th percentile on a subject GRE (a pretty low bar, but obviously it requires significant subject knowledge), you can motor through a COSC degree in Bio, Chem or Physics. They don't offer Gen Sci or Nat Sci degrees. This "generosity" on COSC's part may not last for too long, as subject GREs are an endangered species and COSC is one of only two schools (along with Empire State) to give credit for subject GREs, so I'd grab it with both hands ASAP if this is an option for you.

That is pretty awesome to hear... I'll look over COSC and see what that's all about. Thank you for this!
