I have a question that seems to be answered a bunch of times, but I am pretty new to this and feel a bit lost.
First off about me:
I live in NY
I graduated High School
I was hired as a Junior computer programmer right out of high school (12 years ago).
I am now a Director, and have 12 years of computer programming experience, at the same company.
I am looking to turn my focus into earning a degree in Mathematics, not for any particular reason, I just want to start building a portfolio of degrees.
I am extremely proficient in teaching/learning myself.
As long as the school is recognized I do not care where my degrees are from.
So with all that said, I figured this approach would make the most sense.
But in all honesty, I am completely unsure where to start. I have reviewed the CLEP exams (and quite honestly, just for learning reasons I want to take them all) but I focused on the Science & Mathematics and I already have a pretty good grasp.
I guess all these acronyms are throwing me off and I am not sure where to compile a list of all the test-out tests I can/need to take, and what else I would need to do.
If someone can maybe provide some insight, or guidance I would be appreciate it greatly.
When you mentioned degrees, are these Associates degrees or Bachelors degrees for your areas of study?
I was thinking along the lines of doing a ASBA/BSBA with a General Management concentration or (CIS & Marketing).
I finally decided to just go for the BSBA General Management instead. I may add an ASNSM Comp Sci or Math.
If an Associates is all you need, that ASNSM maybe just your ticket as well, you can always ladder that to a BA/BS.
