Does anyone know if it is possible to fully test out of a Human Services degree at TESC, and what the best way to do that is? I am just starting out, and don't want to take any unnecessary tests. Thanks!
Have taken: CLEP A&I Lit, Natural Sciences, Intro. Psych, Intro. Soc., English Comp.

I dont think you can test out of a complete degree at any college. No matter what they say. They are not in the biz of losing money and if they let you test all the way they cant get you on academics.
As far as you saying tesc no you cant. I only know this because i had taken this degree at that school. And i couldnt test out the whole thing.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. Can you let me know how much you tested out of, or did you take the full degree online?

That is not true. For example, you can completely test out of a BA at Thomas Edison State College and Charter Oak State College. One can test out of all the requirements for an AA or AS and MOST of the requirements for a BA or BS at Excelsior College. They require all BA or BS students to take a 1 credit Information Literacy course). Now, one may not test out of all the requirements for every concentration and/or major that these three schools offer. However, this is possible for the Liberal Arts/Liberal Studies options (with the one noted exception for Excelsior).
