College Credits for Work only

[cookderosa]

I already have a BSN and have no desire to get an MSN.  However, we have a career ladder program at work that pays a bonus each year if you do certain things.  One of the point categories is college courses.  I can get 1 point for a 3 credit hour course, max is 3 points so 9 credit hours.  It can be any course.  I need cheap.  I thought about transcribing FEMAs at FCC, but at $88 a credit x 9 credits, thats 792.00 (not cost effective).  Need it to be around $400-500 max.

The courses need to be dated as completed so I would have to take new Fema courses and transcribe those.  My other thought was re-enroll in TESC (not where my degree is from but I'm a previous student), take a TECEP.  I have no knowledge of the new MOOCs or Saylor, Study, etc. or how those come in to play.  It would be great if I could have those transcribed at TESC or somewhere as actual courses or at least look like actual courses.  Credit banking is way too expensive.  CLEP and DSSTs are out because they want an actual college transcript with a completion date.

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to Sanantone's suggestions, I have one for you too.

The Learner.org / Annenberg Media professional development courses are CHEAP ($103/credit max 5 per semester) -which I know is more than $88 that FCC charges, but hang with me for a second.
These will go on a transcript at Colorado State University and based on a video series you watch on your computer. You submit a portfolio for the credit. These credits are GRADUATE credit, so while you don't see yourself going for a master's, you would have these sitting there in your pocket should you ever change your mind. As far as I know, there are no other graduate credit options anywhere near this price. You can choose from the ones with Education prefix, or Science prefix - but those are the only 2 categories.

And because you're going to ask "but where would I use graduate transfer credit?" I want to share that American Public University (RA) will accept up to 15 credits in transfer toward a master's degree. They have a handful of nurse-friendly master's options like Nurse Educator or Public Health. http://www.apu.apus.edu/academic/schools...ences.html
