Torah College Credits - new testing options - clarifications

[dfrecore]

Though it's been mentioned, I'll just add my support for the development of more upper level exams. The options for lower level gen eds exist for nearly free. What people NEED is upper level credit at an affordable price offered on a platform that is user-friendly.

I agree!!!

We have a million ways to take many of the requirements. How many different ways do you need to take Intro to Management or College Algebra?? Between CLEP, DSST, Straighterline, Saylor, ALEKS, UExcel, TECEP & Sophia, you can take those courses for as little as $0 and as much as $140. That's not to mention Community College.

We REALLY need some more options for those upper level courses. Something that doesn't duplicate what's already available through another venue (like UExcel and TECEP).

I think that if someone from your institution were to go to the TESC website and look at some degrees that are NOT already test-out-able (?), and figure out even a FEW UL courses that would be helpful to several degrees, you would stand to gain a lot of students who have been hoping and praying for those courses!

I know people who are interested in getting a degree via testing out, but they're not the standards (Management, Liberal Arts, History, Psychology) that you can test out of, and they don't know of a way to get those courses cheaply enough to make them want to take the plunge.

Just a thought! Thanks for listening.
