What are ways to get college credits fast?

College credit for heroes.

The fastest way to gain college credits is to enroll in a schedule of liberal arts courses, and take them on a double the normal full-time load. I would suggest courses that dove-tail into each other so that two classes interlock to provide a one-year "block". For example, you would take World History I and American History I, and a bunch of other "I" courses during one semester, and then in the next semester, you would take that same number of classes but in the "II" series, such as American History II. When you take your history classes, take it along with a literature course that ties into the time frame and location of the history class you are also taking. For example, when you take American History I, also take American Literature I. Also take Micro Economics, and Macro Economics, plus two philosophy courses, and intro to Sociology course, and an intro to psychology course. Also, find 2-3 art courses (taught in the art department). After you have completed these 20-24 "base classes" you will have earned 60 to 72 credits in only a one year period and most of these can be transferred as a "block to most colleges.

Once you have completed the block, I would suggest dropping back to a normal schedule and take the math and science sequence starting with remedial math, then the college one year/two semesters Algebra/Pre-Calculus series, followed by Statistics I and II, Calculus I, II III, differential equations, and linear algebra, followed by any other "high level" math the college offers. This "block of math" is valuable ad most colleges will transfer in a huge block of courses, and these math classes can be used to cover the requests of your technical classes, and many of these require high-level math. So even if the Math block does not transfer, you can use them to get prerequisites to courses waived.

Then focus on the classical science courses, which are extremely valuable, and usually transferable, so long as they include a laboratory section. This would be two general chemistry course, two organic chemistry, and then two inorganic chemistry, then one or two physics classes, followed by a quantitative chemistry, a qualitative chemistry, a physical chemistry, and some sort of introductory class in nuclear physics. This block of courses is extremely valuable, normally highly transferable and eve it is does not transfer, you can use them to get perquisites waived for other courses, or get degree requirements waived.

This will give you three blocks of courses that you can either transfer to a block or used to waive the requirements to get into other classes.

Always keep in mind that most colleges require you to earn half of your degree credits at that specific school, and if you seek multiple degrees you will need to build up extra credits, usually, just 1/4 of the credits you need for the secondary degree, For example, when a college requires 128 credits to graduate with one Bachelors degree, then will let you transfer in half of you degree or 64 credits. You then take just over 64 credits and earn you first degree, and then another 32 credits for each additional degree. But, check with the schools policies because it may be wise to take all of the courses needed for both degrees, and then graduate with two diplomas.

CLEP and DANTES tests can also earn you a huge block of credits, but always keep in mind that you will have to earn half of your degree at the college you are attending, so when possible try to keep all of the college credits you earned at one single college.

You shouldnt try to get them fast. You shouldn't to earn college quickly because of promotion or whatever else. Actually sit down and think about what you want after the military. If you pay into some BS now thinking your all nice and dandy cause your ERB says college credits, you're not going to get any credit later when it matters.

Ya You probably just want to get promoted, but cutting corners on Ed isn't where to start.

CLEP exams

Congratulations, stay on top of it and will pay off. also some of those courses can be counted toward a Degree so check with your Education section at the college you plan on attending.

CLEP the subjects you already know. If you are good at math, reading, writing, humanities you can take these tests and obtain college credit that is transferable. Have a college school counselor evaluate your military schools and work experience, it can count in your college program. Use all the tools you possess. You can also have prior experience considered. Remember, there are no short cuts to education; there is only opportunity to excel.

College credits for heroes. Pretty much you send them a copy of your JST and follow all the instructions on there website and they will evaluate your JST and mail you an official transcript from central texas college. Everyone is giving you great advice however im pretty sure you are asking this question because you are promotable and you need points now and the way the promotion system is currently setup you wont pickup without college. So this is an easy free way to get points for the credits you have earned for your military service. Another alternative is NCI but you have to pay like $250 dollars pretty much for the same thing. Take it for what its worth if these credits are only good for promotion points and a degree in General Studies from CTC. Now realistically if you enroll with CTC and begin working on your Associates in General Studies you can finish your associates in 2 years due to TA Limit cap because they accept up to 31 credits from military service, CLEP etc, and you only need to take 10 core classes 5 which can be clepped. CTC requires you to complete 15 SM with them the rest doesnt matter where they come fro as long as you meet the course requirements, I dont know if you are fluent in spanish but the Spanish CLEP is worth 14SH and covers humanities. Most colleges require you to take 2 courses with them before they evaluate your credits thats why i recommend Credits for Heroes followed by Associates in general studies with CTC Followed by bachelors in What you really want to pursue at this points you have maxed out your civilian ed for SSG and can get busy with the career/degree you actually want to pursue.
