New here - Looking to upgrade to a degree (Canadian resident)
#40
(07-29-2018, 07:08 PM)zzzz24 Wrote: Hello,

I have been reading a lot of this forum and the other degree forum (not sure which one is better?) but thought I would register here.

Hope I am posting this in the correct category. I am sure this has been posted over and over again, but was looking for some advice on where to start. 

I differ from most others here, I am Canadian, so would have to do this a little bit differently than others. 
I currently have a 2 year community college diploma and was interested in upgrading to a bachelors degree. My diploma is similar to a paralegal, so I would probably be interested in studying something either legal or english related. Math is a week point for me, so hopefully something without much or any of it. 



It seems like CLEP/DSST is mostly a U.S. thing and I don't really see many testing centers for this here. So it looks like I may have to use mostly the online websites like study, straighterline, etc? 
I am looking for literally the easiest/quickest bachelors degree I can obtain. Any suggestions on where to start? 
Probably get my transcripts and then get them evaluated for U.S. equivalency? Then pick a degree most suitable? 
Then basically start registering for online courses and once I have fulfilled everything, I basically register at my university of choice and pay any extra course/grad fees? 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thank you

If you want t brush up on areas of math, Khan Academy is a great resource for that (as well as so many other areas now too) imho!

Here are the courses I have taken at community colleges.

I have also taken some other courses here and there as I have mentioned, but I am assuming they would not be accepted because they aren't from an actual community college and wouldn't be able to send any actual transcripts to WES for evaluation to send to TESU? I just have certificates from those. I also have a decade of work experience in various positions, not sure if that would count for anything?

I think you could possibly have those other courses evaluated for credit, as well as any experiential learning you may have if you can have somebody verify what they consisted of!
