Next Step - Transferring

[dfrecore]

I would just like to say thanks to this community for helping me to go 8/8 on CLEP exams. I am finishing up my associates degree and am leaning towards one of the big three schools mentioned on here. I would appreciate any pointers or any thing I am seriously overlooking. I am hoping to finish a few more CLEPS and make the transfer. I know nothing about DSST exams or anything else. Thanks a lot.

You did not say which degree you're looking to complete.

Your credits earned don't expire, although you may have an issue with any of the schools in computer courses. But since you don't have those, it's not an issue for you.

For a BSBA at TESU, you're halfway done. If I were you, I would do the following:

Take the AmGovt CLEP, but then stop doing the College Algebra one and switch to ALEKS for your math. You can take Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Precalculus and Statistics (don't need precalc but it will certainly come in handy). You need at least 3 math courses for the degree, and 2 of them have to be College Algebra and Statistics. ALEKS is $20/mo, and you can probably complete Int Alg & Coll Alg in a single month, maybe even all 4 of the courses in that time.

You need 4-7cr of science, none has to be a lab.

There are a couple of free courses you can take to add to your Gen Ed/Free Electives: Insurance Ethics and Kaplan PLA.

I would also suggest taking any Saylor courses that will fit into your degree: they have science, computer science, & managerial communications that will fit into your degree for $25 each.

Then you can take the more expensive options (TECEP's for $114 each, DSST's for $80 + testing center fees, SL or Study.com.

I'm attaching a spreadsheet for you, there are some different options for you to be able to take any courses you would like to, you can just substitute out. If you are unfamiliar with everything, you need to spend more time on the forum checking everything out.
