TESC clarifications

[Kaz]

I don't need a full on Bio degree with labs included...I spend 8-10 hours per day in a research lab. I just need a science oriented degree to match my 10 years of experience...

You should definitely look into TESC's Individualized PLA, Prior Learning Assessment. Scour the catalogs of any reputable uni or college for its bio courses. Then read the descriptions for stuff that sounds like you already know it and use those as examples to pitch to faculty at TESC. I'll eat my hat if you don't get a couple handfuls of credits that way.

Of course, you will still save a lot of money with CLEPs, FEMAs, etc., compared to paying TESC's tuition! But the option is there.
