Has anyone else ended up with a ridiculous amount of college credits?
#1
So lets see...

90 credits of CBE so far.

27 military credits. (6 ACE recommended, 21 B&M granted)

43 College credits from classes (B&M & Online).

----

160 total.

I have an associate's degree. Those are all semester credits, btw! Not a quarter hour to be seen. I've been taking a bit of a break lately, actually, so that's actually the same total that I had when I was actually finally granted my associate's degree (this is what happens when you procrastinate about math for about a decade, btw, lol).

How much do I have left before my bachelors? Well, since I decided to switch to TESU at the last minute, at least 24 if I want to use my veterans benefits and/or military tuition rate. Plus I need at least 15 credits of specific pre-requisites for my planned graduate degree program. Right now it looks like only 6 credits of those pre-requisites will be taken at TESU. So 24 + 9 = 33. Add in some extra DSSTs that I plan to take just for fun (they're free for me, so why not?)...

I'm going to have more than 200 credits by the time I get my Bachelor's. How efficient of me. Story of a misspent youth, I guess.

Anyone else have a similar rap sheet? Or am I just uniquely bad at this whole actually-getting-a-degree-for-my-efforts thing?

Do you get the feeling that people like us are part of the reason TESU takes so long with their evaluations? Wink

I have 160 or so undergrad college credits, a bunch of FEMA (like 20-30, none of which I ever used for a degree). Then another 33 for the MBA, plus 3 from my misstart at WNMU. So well over 200
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I love it! You are all very inspirational!!

I am at a measly 131 credits, with another 6 credits currently in progress. Oh and over 20 some FEMA credits which don't do anything for my current degree plans.

I still have another 6 credits needed for TESU Liberal Studies (including Capstone), or 15 if I go with the Social Science degree.

I feel like I'm not accomplishing much compared to some of you! I will have 142 when I finish my BSBA in HR, but I'm considering getting a dual degree (not sure in what yet), or a cert in PM (not sure from where yet) to top it off!

Still thinking about an MBA in HR at Patten as well...
