Hello everyone,
This is my first post. I am currently attending a community college in Florida. I am really thinking of signing up for InstantCert because I plan on taking the summer sumester off. I thought about doing it last summer but forgot about it. So, I figure I'll give a rundown of all the classes I have completed:
ENC 1101 CR College Composition I A
MAT 0024 CR Elementary Algebra S (Not for credit)
PSY 2012 CR Introduction/Psychology A
SYG 2000 CR Introduction/Sociology A
DEP 2004 CR Psychology/Human Development A
ECO 2013 CR Principles/Economics I -Macro B
MAT 1033 CR Intermediate Algebra B
CGS 1530 CR Microcomputer Applications F (FAILED)
GEO 2474 CR Geography & World Affairs A
HUM 1230 CR Intro/Human: Renais/Mod Times A
MAC 1105 CR College Algebra D (No credit received)
CCJ 1020 CR Intro to Criminal Justice C
REL 2300 CR World Religions A
SYG 2010 CR Social Problems A
SYG 2430 CR Marriage and the Family A
AMH 2010 CR U.S. History to 1877 (Taking Currently)
CGS 1530 CR Microcomputer Applications(Taking Currently)
ENC 1102 CR Composition: Literature (Taking Currently)
I received 15 credits for this 4 criminal justice classes for working in a federal prison:
CCJ 2999 CRIM JUST ELECT (CORRECTIONS)
CJC 1000 Introduction to Corrections S
CJC 2160 Community Based Corrections S
CJE 2946 Criminal Justice Practicum S
These do not include any possible credits from my DD-214, or any ACE credits from my Marine Corps SMART transcript.
So, to complete my AA in general studies I still need:
College Algebra
A second math- most likely Statistics
1-Biological Science and 1-Physical Science; or 2-consecutive sciences in a program (one of these must contain a lab)
1-Oral Communications English- probably speak
So, is it possible to test out completely of these 5 classes? Now, my real questions. After my AA I thought about trying to test out as much as possible and get the fastest degree I can from Excelsior. I think for me, either the Sociology or the Criminal Justice would be the fastest for me. However, I have really started considering the B.S. in Health Care Management degree from Excelsior. I work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and I see this as the degree that can propel me up the ladder the fastest in the Feds. Based on Excelsior's class list, how many of the classes for the Health Care Management degree can be tested out of?
Extra Credit question-does anyone provide, or is it even possible, to test out of graduate level courses to work towards a masters?
Well first, thank you for reading my questions. And and help is appreciated.
