Hello, this is my first post on this forum, although I have visited the different topics over the past couple of weeks as I am preparing for my first CLEP exam. Please forgive the writing, as I am trying to pound this out using my iPads keyboard.
I have in enrolled in COSC in their B.S. degree program in Public Safety Administration. I have 45 hrs transferred into COSC and have met all my free electives. I'm missing my GenEd and the liberal arts requirements plus the course load for the concentration. My background is as a paramedic and now currently as a full time senior police officer.
The liberal arts requirements will largely be met thru all the GenEd requirements as well as some of the major course work. I have planned out nine (9) CLEP & DSST exams to meet the requirements I am missing. I have planned on taking the concentration courses thru COSC as it seems that they now require a minimum of 27 hrs be completed via COSC courses. The oral communication requirement is planned on being waived, I have prepared the packet to send to the provost for approval.
Can y'all look over this and give me some advise on if I have planned the right exams, I honestly am looking for the easier exams that I can knock out quickly so I can spend my time focused on the course work. My weak area in this whole thing will be the math requirement. Here is the list of exams in the order I am thinking of taking them in.
A&I lit -6hrs
American Govt - 3 hrs
College Comp -6
Intro to Criminal Justice (DSST) -3 hrs
Intro to world religions (DSST) -3 hrs
Astronomy (DSST) -3 hrs
Physical geology (DSST) -3 hrs
Human growth & Development -3 hrs
College Math - 6hrs ( put it to last because I am dreading this one)
