interesting info on TESC website

[scorched]

This doesn't surprise me, most colleges do not want you to know you don't really need them, except to confer the degree "officially".

And everyone at work I ever talk to about completing my degree, they ask how I handle taking classes with working and flying all over the world.
After I tell them for I don't take classes, they get the quizzical look, and I have to explain that for example CLEP test were founded in 1967 and have been accepted at major universities since before I originally went to college in 1989. And that if I know the typical class material, I can basically show up and take a final exam. Then explain I just keep pdf based study material on my laptop, or access IC through the web to study, get home take a test and out pops college credit.
It just amazes them this can be done, which for my IT profession is funny because I, along with hundreds of thousands of other people, have been taking computer based certifications since the mid 90s.

And it really is too bad I can't get credit for most of my certs though, I bet that would be a computer sci degree entirely on those.
