I am considering taking the PLA next month, and adding most of the classes I need to finish my TESU degree. Since I only need 1 Upper level, and 1 lower level along with English comp 2 and the capstone. I have tuition covered for the next few months, and it might help me get a few classes added in I don't have time to fulfill.
Has anyone ever done a PLA for the TESU BALS-Social sciences?

I have 25 years of semiconductor equipment technical training and I'm thinking about having them put into a PLA. along with my HAM radio license.

A PLA is probably going to take longer than a class (you mentioned not having time to take a class).
It also depends on what they consider the course: the semiconductor may come in as Natural Sciences, but it may also just come in as a free elective - not something I'd spend the time doing a PLA for.

Yes I don't need any free electives.

I have lot's of work experience and prior learning outside of college as well, but looking at the time investment to go through the whole PLA process, doing a couple of online courses seems the quicker route.

I agree. Pla can be a good option for some hard to get, specific courses, but usually, if there's a CLEP/DSST/ACE/NCCRS/TECEP/etc option that can fill the requirement, it will be the better option.
