Credit Evaluation Help - EC vs. TESC
#1
Hi All!
I joined the Forum last year as I began my journey toward an eventual BA/BS degree. I've now accumulated 21 CLEP credits to add to my 1991 AA degree from what was then USNY Regents College and would greatly appreciate some help as to the simplest way to complete my degree.

I assumed my credits would best fit in with EC as I received my original degree from them, but am now wondering if TESC would be an option I should look into.

I used the EC BA/BS Degree Requirement Charts for my testing plan. My focus is liberal arts - with an emphasis on avoiding all math and science:ack:.

Any opinions as to where my credits would best fit in, EC or TESC?
Is it true TESC does not have the Capstone Requirement? (wouldn't mind avoiding that if possibleSmile)
I’ve heard it’s possible to have your credits evaluated by the various schools to see where you stand – should I try and accumulate more credits before I think about this next step?

Here's a list of my credits so far:
1980s- 1991
Humanities
East West Humanities
Western Humanities
Elementary Spanish 1 & 2
Intermediate Spanish 1 & 2
Ethics
CLEP English Comp with Essay (from ancient times - at the time, I was in the last group at Regents College that was allowed to use this course for Essay credit, so I’m subtracting these 3 credits from my total)

Social Sciences
Western Civilizations 1 & 2
American Government
Cultural Anthropology
US History Part 1

Natural Science/Math
Elementary Algebra
Intermediate Algebra
Earth Science
Biology

Electives
Orientation to Education
Introduction to Computers (again, ancient!)
Typing (ancient - class given on an ACTUAL TYPEWRITER!!)


2011-2012
CLEP
[COLOR="#0000FF"]
Introductory Psychology 75
Human Growth and Development 69
Introduction to Educational Psychology 72
American Literature 80
Analyzing and Interpreting Literature 75[/COLOR]

TOTAL CREDITS - 78

My basic plan was to take 3 or 6 more CLEP credits, use Straighterline for the 6 Written English Requirement credits, and the DSST art history test to complete my lower level credit requirements. As I never thought I’d get this farSmile, my upper level credit plan is hazy – other than knowing for EC I’d need to fulfill the two depth requirements for the Liberal Studies Option.

Thanks so much! Any other help or advice would be GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED! This Forum is a fantastic source of support and information!!!Smile
