Just an update I have now in less than a week passed:
American Government
US History I
US History II
Western Civilization I
Western Civilization II
Introduction to Religion
Introduction to Anthropology
Introduction to Sociology
Introduction to Psychology
Nutrition
Statistics
33 credits in 5 days.
Would have blasted through more BUT.... into to communications takes a bit longer. But still low risk and the time is really based on the written paper grading time. And it is a good practice for my College Comp CLEP.
In addition to the above I also passed College Algebra through ALEKS and Ethics via The Institute. Giving me a grand total of 38 credits since starting and very low time/money investment. I have invested less than $600 for these 38 credits. I have spent approximately 45 hours of actual time on them. I have essentially spent under a week to complete 1.25 years of college. All for the price of about 1 class tuition from a state school here in PA.
CLEP, DSST, Study.com are now all in my future. Once communications is done.
For pretty much risk free I believe anyone with an IQ of 95 or greater can complete 36 credits via SL in 1 month or less absolutely risk free from failure towards a Bachelors for under $900 easily if they have 2 hours a day to give to it. If they want to they could quite easily do at least another 21 in that same month if it fits in with their future plans and major for a total of 57 risk free credits. Yup if one is trying to get a BSBA and that is their end education goal, you could get all you non AOS done at SL for under $1200 and under 1 month.
But for those of us in a hurry SL, Study, CLEP, DSST and others are all parts of the path.
