Testing out of degree (New 90 credit limit)

[vetvso]

So I was reading that TESU has a 90 credit limit for non-collegiate providers. Does this mean that it's now impossible to fully test out of a degree through TESU (aside from the capstone and cornerstone). Transferring Credit at Thomas Edison State University

Nope - you can easily test out, but 24cr of testing has to come from RA - meaning (generally) TECEP's and/or UExcel's.  But you could conceivably do a BALS or BSBA entirely from "tests" using CLEP/DSST/Davar/Coopersmith/UExcel/TECEP.

If you mean "test out" as a general term, and include course providers like Study.com, Sophia, and Straighterline, then that's doable too (and what most people on here are doing at this point I think).  Actually, my guess is some people stick with 1-2 providers, and some go all over the place within the alt-credit world.

Yes, dfrecore is 100% correct. Testing out is still a great option. I have my military kids doing this now. I have taken TESU tests as well and they don't seem over the top to me. Honestly, I think a mixture of credits is always best but everyone's situation may be different.
