I'm new and could use some advice and help.

Im not 100% on the "english" concentration.....but the 30 UL hours is certain, note three of those would be from the required Capstone course...and that would count in your major (charter Oak calls majors concentrations...they are essencially the same thing, though people argue about what that means).

For credit by exam there are DSST (a few) that are UL, some TECEP exams are UL, and a few EC exams are UL. The master list of exams is here: http://www.charteroak.edu/Current/Academ...r-list.pdf Problem for you is that they show nothing at the UL except the GRE....the GRE is only given at certain times, and how mwny credits and at what level determines the credit award....I believe only 6-12 UL credits are even possible via the GRE....I think it's simpler to just find other sources.

You will see that there are a lot of test options in History....you might consider a dual concentration that would be 18 (including capstone) UL in English and 12 UL in History. Done that way you would need only 5 english courses, 4 history exams at the UL and the Capstone.

None of the FEMA are UL.....they would just be free elective filler in your case. COSC and TESC both accept up to 30 credits that way.....thats a whole year! at least a $1000 savings from the cost of testing out of thoses....thousands more if you took those credits as an actual class somewhere.

this is the cost effective, quick way to an accredited degree.

Thank you for your replies! I have printed out that list--it is very helpful!

I haven't seen anything about dual concentrations. That might be something to think about, but I kind of think I would prefer a degree in one subject. I actually did consider majoring in history at one point though! I only see two UL history exams though, unless I'm missing something.

Thanks for the information about the FEMAs!
