Believe me, I've looked into this and the colleges around here don't. University of Washington, Seattle University, SPU and the CCs don't. From what I understand they used to but not anymore and the nearest schools that do offer some CLEP options are down in Portland, Oregon. Majority of West Coast schools no longer offer credit for CLEP tests - just not good enough for them I guess
Trust me I've checked on this as well, yes almost all colleges today offer distance learning but the online courses my CC offers aren't very well organized. And they aren't as flexible. Distance learning isn't the sole reason I would choose one of big three. If I wanted to continue here at my local CC I would just go to regular classes. I wanted to transfer so I could take loads of CLEPs and then finish the rest through courses.
I was just thinking the CLEPs would be a way to rack up major amounts of credit? But I don't know what exactly is realistic with how many credits I have (only about 16). That's good to know though
Well I've already checked into what's available, and ultimately my choice of one of the big three would be based on CLEPs, getting my degree faster, and not having to deal with CCs and traditional brick-and-mortar classes. But from what it sounds like it's not worth it unless I already have a lot more credits to transfer over first?
Thanks for the input!!
Huh. Well, good luck then.
