Degree While Traveling?

[bobbyweaver94]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Bobby Weaver and I posted on this forum once before and received a tremendous amount of help. I took the advice that I was getting and applied to TESC and started figuring things out. Even though I was under 21 they quickly helped and allowed me to still be accepted.

They accepted all of my credits but most of the credits I received from my previous college (Lancaster Bible College or LBC) with a bible background transferred into electives not humanities - not sure if that is good or bad, I was just expecting different.

I have been taking a look at my options and am trying to figure out what I want to do, and it is absolutely go the TESU path for a BSBA in something. I'm pretty much just looking for the piece of paper that says I graduated college - even though I do enjoy learning. So I will most likely go with the area of focus that has the clearest path to success and completion.

It looks like I currently have 30 credits, and like I said, they all transferred to TESU in one or the other. If anyone would like to take a look, this is the link to my degree plan so far - just a general outline that I created when I first had this idea. It is a Google spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?...sp=sharing

Now, here is where the alternative degree thoughts need to begin. My wife and I are going to be bicycle touring Europe for 8 months leaving in early May of 2015. I will have internet access throughout the vast majority of the trip and we will also have a laptop with us. I am only just getting back into reading about this and formulating a plan but I wanted to pose this question;

With my current credits and travel plans, how much of my degree can I complete while traveling, if any?

Any thoughts, comments or ideas are always welcome.

First, since you originally made that plan, the general education requirement distribution has completely changed. Also, your credits align much better to a BA in Humanities/ Religion/ Liberal Studies than to a BSBA, so if you want to use your credits as efficiently as possible, you might consider changing majors. What were the course prefixes and numbers for your Bible classes? Were any considered upper level?

As for traveling, you will probably want to stick with online classes and ProctorU-type testing, so things like ALEKS, Straighterline, TECEPs, Kaplan PLA, TEEX will work better for you than trying to find a testing center for DSSTs and CLEPs.

Sounds like you and your wife have a great adventure ahead! Enjoy!
