Alzee's TESC degree plan for ASBA

Introduction
This is my current degree plan for an ASBA @ TESC for the 2015-2016 curriculum. This is not an exhaustive list of courses or tests that will work for this degree, it's just what I've personally done, with the goal to be as fast as possible. I've used StraighterLine for a lot of the courses, since it can be just as inexpensive as taking CLEPs but requires far less study and is nearly a "guaranteed" pass.

While I cannot guarantee that these courses will be accepted in the future, or even for you at present, unless otherwise noted they were all accepted with no issues for me.

I've included my personal scores (for SL only) here not to "brag" but instead to demonstrate just how easy this can be. I focus on StraighterLine because all (or at least most) of their tests are open book, the first test in each course can be retaken as many times as you like, and only the final exams have the (somewhat stressful) proctoring.

Costs and Time
This is the mind blowing part of all this, for me anyway. So far, this has cost me next to nothing, and I am over half way done with this degree. I have not had to leave the house, since I have yet to take any CLEPs. The rough cost breakdown so far is this:


 * $40 for two months of ALEKS access. Honestly you only need one, I took the wrong course there initially, then kept pushing on well past 80% in one of them because I thought it would prompt me for a "final."
 * $500 for five months of access, so far, to StraighterLine.
 * $?? for the ? StraighterLine courses I've taken so far. This is a guess, these courses are usually $45-75 each.  Textbook is included for some, proctoring is included for all.
 * $100 for proctorU to proctor the two Saylor courses. I think the proctoring was $50/shot but I can't remember.
 * $70 to enroll at TESC under the per-credit tuition plan.
 * $50 to transfer credits from ACE to TESC. I'll have to do this again, but I wanted to see where I stood at this point.
 * $2000 for the TESU "residency waiver" fee.
