Excelsior liberal arts degree plan using Clep or other testing methods

[rachel83az]

Any reason why you're going for an associate's and not a bachelor's? If you're planning on getting a bachelor's later, that's an awful lot of money to spend. You'll need to take at least 7 credits through them.

But Sophia ought to get you most of the way to an associate's degree.

Approximate costs if you use Sophia:

7 credits from Excelsior itself (the bare minimum needed): $3570. 7 credits tech fee: $140. Graduation fee: $395. Enrollment fee: $1095. Total: $5380.

12 credits (minimum for waiving of various fees): $4920. 12 credits tech fee: $240. Graduation fee: $260. Enrollment fee: $0. Total: $5420.
