College credits

[COBDW@AOL.COM]

Dear Radsafers,

Situation: I am currently working toward a BST Degree with a specialty in 

Nuclear Technology through Excelsior College, formally known as Regents.  I 

am in need of 7 upper level technical credits.  These credits can be on 

almost anything as long as they are technical in nature.  Such as fluid 

dynamics, heat transfer, management information systems, quality control, 

etc.  

Request: I would like to be able to test out of the credits.  Does anyone 

know or can guide me in a direction to find information or institutions that 

allow for testing out.  The other option that I like is to take a distance 

class that is 100% self paced.  That means, the sooner I complete the work 

the sooner I get the credits.  

Under conventional methods it will take me 9 months to a year to achieve my 

goal.  I would like to be done in less than 6 months.  I have already taken 

the NRRPT and credits have been applied.  I am currently taking a class with 

Thomas Edison and I find it to be to structured with time limits.  Meaning it 

is taking to long since it is laid out as a 16 week course and the grades 

won't be available before the start of their fall semester.  Time is of the 

most importance, financial considerations are important also.  Testing out is 

generally cheaper by far.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you,

Douglas W. Coble
