How does TESC work?

[cookderosa]

I have been reading on TESC's website and I'm a little lost. If I want to clep out of the majority of my degree, do I sign up now or wait? If I plan on getting student loans, will this take care of the enrollment fees or will I have to pay that up front? I'm really confused about all this. I have just started an adult program here in TN that is going to cost me about $15,000 for 42 credits. The rest I have to clep, do Fema's, and portfolios. Please give me your feedback on what's the best route to go. Also at TESC I would major in organizational leadership.

So, your doing 42 credits locally for $15,000 and then testing out of/transfer in your remaining 78 credits at TESC? If that's so, I would gently suggest you spend some time on the board, browse around, read the archives....and then revisit the idea of spending SO MUCH MONEY on an undergrad degree. Unless it's Ivy League, it ain't Ivy League. Wouldn't you rather spend $15,000 on an MBA? Three years from today you could have your MBA and minimal student loan debt.

If you were 18, I wouldn't say this, but your an adult. There are some pros and cons you should consider. Your time is limited, your financial responsibilities are greater, the return on this investment is limited in how many years you have left to work, but you are smarter than an average 18 year old. You are motivated, and people here will help you. That recipe is just the right mix of pros and cons = undergrad degree at warp speed and focus on the MBA.
