Thanks so much for your help! Is there any way to plan in advance how many CLEP credits I can take, without committing to a college beforehand? I’ll try to google this as soon as I can to learn more (and I’ll certainly check out the link you gave me). I’m mainly looking at UC’s and state schools in CA - would you say these schools are considered ‘selective’, in the sense that they usually don’t accept CLEP credits?
And what did you mean when you said remedial classes get no credit - could you expand on this? I highly doubt I would have to take remedial courses. But I’m just curious.
I’m planning on visiting my local CC very soon. I was initially concerned about how courses at a CC are (generally) a bit less demanding than courses at a university, and can leave you unprepared. I plan on taking on a humanities major - something related to English, business, law, politics, etc. - rather than a science or math major. Would you say the shift between upper level and lower level courses is more noticeable in STEM programs? I’m guessing that taking on a humanities major would make the transition ‘easier’, in a sense, but I’m not entirely sure. As for the issue of impacted programs, I’ll look into that too. I’m guessing you can find this information on the colleges website as well?
Thanks for all the help
