MilSpouse pursing a Human Resources Degree...Advice??

[Prloko]

Thank you so much for your help! I'm going to look into the Military Completion Program at TESC. Do I have to enroll there before having my transcripts looked at and before taking any CLEPs or SL classes?

If you are applying under the MDCP, there really is no benefit to waiting. In the past, members would first amass many CLEP, DSST, ACE credit and THEN apply to the "Big 3" schools to see what they would get. In the case of TESCs MDCP, there really is no need, you pay the application fee, and on the date of application you are considered enrolled and you can send your transcripts for evaluation. That usually takes about a month for TESC to finish evaluating, but you don't need to wait, you can search the forum or ask questions, and we can suggest courses you can take now while you're waiting so you don't waste time. Usually, members will suggest Analyzing and Interpreting Literature as a good first exam to wet your feet.

On a second note, you may want to check with Charter Oak State College also. They are military friendly also and many students on here have a very satisfactory experience with them.
