I received my BA through a similar program that used to be offered by the State of New York through their fully accredited Regents College program (now called Excelsior College, and not offering this pathway to a degree anymore). When I started I already had about a semester's worth of credits from various colleges; I sent in those transcripts and took two CLEP tests (each worth about three units), and three GRE subject exams in Economics, History, and English Literature (each worth 30 units, or one full year). A balance of Humanities, Social Science, and Science/Math credits were required.

I started in Sept. 1987, I passed my last exam in December and started graduate school in January (didn't graduate). It was a wonderful program. I even wrote a book about it and sold maybe 25 copies.

That degree has helped me get several jobs that required a college degree, and now I'm getting ready to go back to grad school again.
