Ok, let's dig a little more. I did some looking into cattle/ag degrees. The school I work for offers one.
Let's bring in the option of Charter Oak. They have learner designed areas of concentration. This means, all his cattle classes could fit there. I have no experience with CO, so maybe someone else can offer some suggestions. But, that's a possibility for his bachelor's.
For an associates. If he goes to TESC, he is going to have to pay an enrollment fee- are you sure he wants to do that? Can I ask what your area is, I'm happy to check into local schools for you- if they have the catalogs online it would be very easy to do that. In any case, let's look at TESC.
Thomas Edison State College | AAS Credit Distribution
I. General Education Requirements 21
A. English Composition 6 ([B]Eng 101, need Eng CLEP)[/B]
B. Humanities 3 (not started)
C. Social Sciences 3 (US Govt., done)
D. College Mathematics 3 (College Algebra, done)
E. General Education Electives 6 (not started)
II. Area of Study 21 (cattle classes, done)
III.Free Electives 18 (cattle classes, cad classes, done)
Total 60 credits
The English CLEP will duplicate 3 and give him 3- closing that requirement.
He needs 9 more credits, 3 in humanities.
My suggestion: Analyzing and Interpreting literature *do the practice test first, if this is too hard for him, there are other options* A&IL gives him the 3 required and overflows the other 3 into gen ed electives.
Second gen ed elective- I'd suggest college math for 6. If he can do algebra, he can do college math. Maybe with an afternoon of brushing up. If he hates math, I suggest human growth and development for 3. For an adult, this is a good exam that he could study for without much trouble. Use the REA guide from local library. If local library doesn't have REA HG&D, maybe it has sociology. That's my third choice suggestion.
I still strongly suggest looking at the local cc. Wherever he earned the certificate is the best bet for an AOS degree. Willing to share the name of that school so I can look at it?
