  1. Just running through some ideas and looking for advice. I previously started a BA psych degree (some 15ish years ago) but never completed. I've applied/been accepted/had transfer credits evaluated at a local university. I'm wondering which option makes more sense: 1. Finish BA Psych (45 total credits needed - approx. 15 courses) and then do post-Bacc (looks like around 8 courses) 2. Switch to BA communication disorders (80 credits needed - approx. 27 courses) 2A. Also, if I did option 2, I would need 4 additional courses for double major (psych/comm disorders). Any benefit to doing this? 3. (Haven't researched this yet) Try another local university for BA major psych and minor communication disorders (there is a local university that offers the minor) Thoughts?
  2. Hi everyone! I'm an older (soon-to-be) undergrad student and mom. I completed a couple of classes while in high school (from two different community colleges). I then attended a 4-year state college for a few semesters right after high school (majored in psychology) and dropped out after having a baby. A few years later, I started taking online classes, but shortly after starting, my mom passed away unexpectedly. Again, I dropped out. I have a pretty good job (going on 10 years with the company); l I make OK money, and enjoy what I do. However, I have a dream of finishing college and becoming an SLP. I applied to Kean (I'm in Northern NJ) as a transfer student into their communication disorders undergrad program and was accepted. Here is my dilemma (sorry it took so long to get to it!) I will be paying out of pocket for all of my schooling (I do not qualify for grants). Kean accepted 36 (I think) of my 60-something credits towards a BA in communication disorders. In order to save money, a friend suggested taking as many classes at the local community college and then transferring to Kean afterwards to finish up the Bachelor's degree; it looks like I could take 9-10 classes (27-30 credits). Would this cause an issue? I already have transcripts from 2 community colleges and 2-4 year colleges (Kean would make a 3rd.) Thoughts? Am I over-thinking this, or does this show a lack of commitment maybe???? Last (quick) question. I can look this up I'm sure but in case anyone knows...I took CLEP testing for Anatomy & Physiology. Is this likely to be accepted, or should I plan to (re)take this?
