Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses

Start with CLEP, then Sophia. Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time so don't have 2 courses that have touchstones (written assignments) open at the same time. Once done with Sophia, do the Study.com courses.

Doing a concentration for this degree is optional. However the degree plan is setup to make it easy to take 4 concentration courses + 4 major requirements. If you don't take concentration courses, then you would just have to find 3 100/200 & 1 300+ level course to meet the minimum 45cr that required to take at Purdue.

How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?

How long to complete depends on a variety of factors such as experience, time commitment, the efficiency of studying, etc. Considering you spend at least 20 hours a week on your studies, it should take 3-6 months to complete this degree.
