An Update to my degree plan:
I can't take Business Communications for WER, I will replace with SL Eng II,
I only need SL Acct I & II, not Managerial Acct.,
TECEP Operations Management (OMPM 301) counts as upper level credit for Production/Operations Management
and the business capstone is also an UPPER level credit that can be included in the 21 U level total. Yay!!

Uh oh... I think I've been slacking! I began July 3rd , 2012 with the same goal and I'm sitting on 81 credits through exam. This should be a big testing month for me. I hope to push through another 5 DSSTs in March. How much did you pay for the ECEs?

Check with TESC if the ECE Labor Relations (Excelsior College | Labor Relations) will be a suitable exam equivalent for this course.

Just a note to Excelsior students - the Uexcel College Writing is really doable. I took it cold and got an A. However, you can buy a 30 day subscription to their practice software so that it isn't so stressful. The software basically does all that the test does - one giant practice test.

MS - Management and Leadership, WGU 2022
BS - Liberal Arts - Depths in Healthcare and Psychology, Excelsior College 2014
Certificate - Workers Comp Admin, UC Davis Extension, 1995
AA - Licensed Vocational Nursing and Selected Studies, Mesa College 1989
Certificate - Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN), Mesa College 1977

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun.   Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior.  And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

Wow!! Congrats, I'm really considering starting at Excelsior and this is definitely a push. How long did it take you to complete all of your CLEP, DSST, ECE, and TECEP courses?

I am just starting out doing what it seems so many of you have already done. I came across DIYdegree and following up on that brought me to this forum. I plan on enrolling in excelsior because from what I've gleaned, it is more user-friendly and more inexpensive then the other 2 colleges.
I like the "roadmap" that's posted, but it's from several years ago. I have an AA degree that I earned the traditional way, so what I need to know is....what next. What classes, in what order, and which tests. I've read that I can't completely test out of the degree, so which ones do I need to take online?
If someone can answer these questions, or if there's another thread or post that you can direct me to, I'd appreciate it!

Hi! At this beginning point in your journey I'd post all your prior credits + your specific degree plans over on the General Ed. section of the Forum. Folks there are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and helpful - they can answer many of your questions.

I wouldn't lock yourself into a specific school choice just yet. There's always the possibility a different school will end up being a better fit with regards to your needs/previous credits...At the present time, most students here are enrolled at TESC.

That being said, I'm an Excelsior student. I received my AA from Excelsior (then USNY Regents) 25 years ago, and am now in the final stages of completing my BSLA. Why did I choose EC? As a prior EC grad I received many perks - waved registration fees, and more importantly to me, EC's acceptance of my entire AA degree credits lock, stock, and barrel...including Elementary Algebra, and ancient typing and computer courses no other school would ever apply toward a BS degree. Considering this, EC was the easiest path for me...

Hope this info is of some help! Smile
