BA/BS in Communications School/Strategy Recommendations?

[nychojin]

Hi all,

Happy to join this amazing forum, and looking forward to the great advisement and learning opportunities.

I am currently seeking a BA or BS in Communications. I was originally looking at the Big 3 (Charter Oak/Excelsior/TESC) for this. I was told Excelsior no longer offers a communications program. From what I understand, TESC has a standardized communications program, whereas Charter Oak is more custom-oriented. I will be transferring only about 14 credits or so from a previous college stint.

I'm considering using some of the strategies posted here - PLA via LearningCounts, InstantCert training, DSST, CLEP & ECE exams, etc. - to try and get as many credits as possible by "testing out".

So, besides the aforementioned schools, are there any suggestions for a Bachelor in Communications program that readily accept credit by testing and PLA?

Also, would anyone know how much of this degree can be done by testing, and recommend the best way to pursue?

Any response would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
