Thanks Alley and PT!
Watching movies now to celebrate!
Get ready for my "I'm done part trois" when I finish the MBA in 5 weeks or so... wait that sounds dirty "I'm done part tres!"

It seems like you just started the MBA program...and now you're almost done. Amazing!
Congratulations on all of the degrees you've earned this year! (3?)

Way to go!! I'll just shake my head and grin--incredible job. I'd say inspiring, but I think I'll just sit on the side lines and cheer :hurray:

Thanks guys! Yeah its 3 this year. I officially started CLEPping back in Oct 2010 but my direction was to finish a bachelors in general studies with a concentration in IT at USF. So I took a few CLEPs to backfill up to the 120-24=96 credit mark and intended to take the required 24 CR of IT courses to get the degree. Right about the time I finished all of my CLEPs which included a bunch of the business core I found this site. I realized that I could finish a BALS by EOY or a BSBA CIS by February so I went for the BSBA CIS and was done with coursework in late February.
So I started looking for an MBA and waited patiently for my conferral in June. I found NCU and decided to take 2 courses non-degree seeking prior to conferral back in mid March. I finished my 1st of 10 courses in 23 days and the second in 21 days. I was on a roll.
Then I was stuck. I had to wait until those courses naturally terminated before enrolling in another course. So I sat on the sidelines for an excruciating 6 weeks and with nothing better to do, I decided to start taking StraighterLine A&P and CLEP BIO to complete the second degree.
I finished all of my test out classes a couple of months ago and continued taking my MBA courses and TESC Environmental Science and Computer Architecture concurrently. I just finished those two courses at TESC, hence my "I'm done" post.
In the meantime, since about July 1 I have completed another 6 MBA courses so at this point I am done with:
- Foundations of Graduate Study for Business
- Comprehensive Strategic Knowledge Studies
- Business Ethics
- History of Management Thought
- Human Resources Management
- C# Programming
- C++ Programming
- Business Statistics
And I am now enrolled in
- Computer Graphics - 70% complete
- MBA Applied Computer Science Research Project - 30% complete

Yay!!! Yaaaaay!! How awesome it that?! I'm happy for you. :hurray:
What will you do when you can test no more?

nflight - Alas my last test was months ago
The last test was BIO and DSST Env and Humanity. After that I had to take 9 CR at TESC and I am continuing to pursue this MBA at Northcentral University | Online Degree Programs | Online Learning.The thing about NCU is that it fits us, the test crowd, well because it is at your own pace. If you have a whole day to spend on the course you can finish a whole week worth of work. So in a weekend you can finish two weeks more or less. I get up early in the morning and work on papers, read materials etc so I end up finishing 2-3 weeks of work per week and since the classes are 8 weeks max length I can typically finish a class in 3 weeks.
The computer classes go even faster since I am an expert in the field. HR management was the worst. I spent a LOT of time reading the 1k page book, researching and writing and struggled for my A.

Yes, but if it's YOUR A, then do what you must- as I am most certain you did. :-)
