Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for information on where to take these exams for the same reason as you - to get through the basics faster and be able to get right down to the nitty gritty of what I want my degree in.
My son has taken these at his University to "CLEP a class" as he puts it. Sounds to me like they're stealing the class.........lol. Last year when we were first moving him into his dorm, the young man who helped us unload the truck gave him the low down on those exams. Apparantly this fellow was going to be able to graduate in three years instead of the usual four because of the classes he was able to CLEP. Definately well worth the cost of the exam in my book. Especially when you compare $55 to $90 or more a credit hour (minimum three credit hours per class).
On another note, has anyone come across any colleges/universities that offer Bachelor of Arts degrees online? All I can find in evening, accelerated (in my area) and/or online classes are business related degrees and that's not what I want. I just want to earn a BA Degree in some type of liberal studies program and earn it for myself, not for my career.
